Minister Grant emphasized the fact that the accounts were nine years behind.

“Today I am laying in this Honourable House audited accounts for the Frigate Bay Development Cooperation for 31st December 2015 and the 31st December 2016,” he said. “So worthy of note is that we have done 10 years of audited accounts since we have been in office.”
