During Friday’s sitting of the Upper House, Opposition Senator, Dr. Christopher Tufton moved a motion stating that the government needs to examine how natural disasters may affect its ability to retain IMF funding.
“I refer to natural disasters  - primarily hurricanes and droughts, but also some manmade catastrophes which I believe should have been included as part if this plan with the International Monetary Fund and other multinational partners.”
