White questions Laroda on ZNS’ inauguration trip cost

SOCIAL Services, Broadcasting, and Information Minister Myles LaRoda could not confirm the cost of ZNS’s Washington, DC, trip for Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday after St Anne’s MP Adrian White claimed it exceeded $200,000.

While congratulating President Trump on his inauguration in the House of Assembly, Mr White said: “I know that most of The Bahamas must feel the same way I do or at least the individuals that sent a team from ZNS to Washington DC with reports being that it cost over $200,000 to send a bunch of individuals to do a zoom call with Congressman Waters.”

In response, Mr LaRoda said he had some information but promised to provide a full account once available.

It is unclear how many ZNS employees took part in the delegation, but some on social media questioned the need for the trip.

The tie had to have set the member back by a few Shillings out pocket. --- Valid questions put to the Broadcasting Minister Myles LaRoda by the House-seated member for the Shirlea constituency ... **but why the suck-up** 'twas evident by **his saluting** Trump...no small detail....whilst he **was wearing** a Trump trademark red tie...during **the salute.** -- Yes?
