Notable quote: $168M paid in rent for Tertiary education buildings: Karim

"If you were to calculate the rent for the National Training Agency, the Accreditation Council, YTEPP, Costaatt, all of these including the Ministry, for the period up to May 2012, the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and the taxpayers would have paid over $168 million in rent. It makes economic sense therefore for you to have your own premises and your property."
