00:00The PDP in a release on Monday said taxpayers' monies were spent on the International Darts Diving League instead of local sporting groups.
00:09The PDP said money and resources were squandered on this imported spectacle, could and should have been used to straighten the deadly turpin bend to save lives, purchase school books for Tobago's children, secure life-saving medication for hospitals, repair the broken MI,
00:29machine at Scarborough General Hospital, support the infrastructural needs of Tobago's cultural practitioners.
00:37The PDP said instead the chief secretary is living up to his party's name, the Tobago People's Party, by offering Tobagonians the opportunity to party like never before, while neglecting the very need and life and death issues facing our people.
00:56The holding of Tobago's October Carnival was also stated.
01:00TV6 News contacted an official of the Dodds Diving World Championship, who debunked any notion of $5 million being spent by the THA towards the event.
01:12Instead, the officers said the international teams paid for their flights, hotel rooms, meals, and the THA used THA transport to assist in one instance.
01:23The officers said U.S. $120,000 per year has been agreed upon in the three-year contract with the Dodds Federation and the THA.
01:34In addition, any local advertising in Trinidad and Tobago in the future, 50% of revenue is attributed to the THA.
