Trinidad and Tobago removes 8,000 "ghost workers" from unemployment program, citing fraud.
In Trinidad and Tobago, 8,000 "ghost workers" were removed from the Unemployment Relief Programme (URP) payroll after an audit showed only 20% of registered workers actually attended their jobs.
The program's daily-paid component was suspended, and 400 of 1,100 monthly-paid workers were fired to combat corruption.
The PNM party claims the dismissals are politically motivated and plans to sue the government on behalf of the workers.
The government defends the actions as necessary restructuring to eliminate fraud.
