Dismissed Transport Board workers are getting every cent of their long overdue severance pay, thanks to Minister of Finance Chris Sinckler.

Very reliable sources have revealed that the cash-strapped statutory corporation that provides islandwide public transport services had, through the Ministry of Transport and Works (MTW), sought the assistance of the National Insurance Scheme (NIS) to meet its obligations to retrenched workers.

As a result, yesterday former worker Mark Watson collected his cheque for more than $71 000 and told the DAILY NATION he was headed to the credit union to pay off his mortgage.

“This money will definitely take a lot of weight off my shoulders. I am going to make sure that I pay off all of my other small debts as well,” he said.

Please read the full story in today’s DAILY NATION, or in the eNATION edition.
