"This venture was a self financing one and I want the public to know that no state funds were used for this," Coudray said. She added that there were certain rules which governed public expenditure and they would be followed under her watch. Coudray also took a stab at a former government minister over allegations of corruption whereby monies were allocated for the San Fernando Community Centre, which Coudray said did not exist. She also noted that the corporation was forced to dip into its coffers and pay $7 million in outstanding bills because of the mismanagement and abuse of public funds which occurred under the PNM administration.
