Georgetown : Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony told the National Assembly last evening that he was not aware, nor did he ever grant permission to anyone to slaughter any animal at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall on Homestretch Avenue.
The Minister was at the time responding to questions posed by APNU MP, Christopher Jones, who made reference to an article published in the Kaieteur News that the sporting facility was being used as an abattoir by persons to slaughter goats.
Minister Anthony informed the House that Cliff Anderson Sports Hall is sometimes rented out for a commercial fee of $50,000; while several sports clubs and groups are allowed to use it free of charge.
However, he maintained, that no permission was granted to anyone by him or his Ministry to use the facility to slaughter animals.
