One reply on “Opposition MP attends Caribbean Sustainable Development Forum”

  1. It is also worth mentioning that Cummings most certainly paid out of pocket to attend. If he were in the ULP it is paid for by the Vincentian Taxpayer but not when an opposition member travels and attends conferences. I should also add that there is one ULP person in the government that goes all over the world in first-class; compliments of the Vincentian Taxpayers.
