#TurksAndCaicos, January 9, 2023 – The government should consider reassessing the monetary allocations given to the legislature to make sure they are properly funded, according to Father Mark Kendall.

“There must be a correlation with regard to the institutions of the country. We are happy that the people are benefiting,” but the institutions must also reflect that they are benefiting,” he continued “Perhaps it is that some of the agencies that the departments or sectors of the judiciary, and the court system in the Turks and Caicos Islands need more.”

Kendall was speaking during the Legal Year Opening ceremony on January 4.
