During his presentation of the Supplementary Estimates minister Gonsalves thanked CK Greaves for their “most generous donation to the cause”.

The minister said he had to single out the company for applause and gratitude for their donation.

This donation from CK Greaves and company also forms part of the $136.4 million which was approved in the Supplementary Estimates 2024.
