The main opposition, National Democratic Congress, is protesting the decision by the Grenada Broadcasting Network not to carry live, on radio, the response to the 2008 budget presentation by the shadow Minister for Finance, Nazim Burke. However, the station said failure to carry the response resulted from a contractual dispute with a client and was not coloured by political considerations. The Opposition's response to the EC$751.7 million (US$281 million) budget announced by Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Dr. Keith Mitchell, last Friday, was not carried live on the station's AM service - the first time in the history of its existence.
