Prasad asks if allocation for purchasing aluminium boats is vote buying while AG calls him an ‘obtuse human being’

National Federation Party Leader, Professor Biman Prasad has asked the Government if the allocation of $300,000 for purchasing aluminium boats for the Eastern Division is a vote buying exercise while Minister for Economy, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says Prasad is so attuned to the elections in their little conspiratorial box that everything is about elections and votes.

Sayed-Khaiyum says Prasad is an obtuse human being and he and his other two stooges on NFP constantly make crass, flippant comments.

He says it is a stupid comment to make.

The Minister adds the allocation is for the Ministry of Fisheries to do their work to support fisheries extension in the Eastern Division.
