Hilaire out: Howai tipped as replacement

The appointment of Dr Alvin Hilaire as Governor and chairman of the Central Bank of Trinidad and Tobago (CBTT) has been revoked.

He is tipped to be replaced by former minister of finance Larry Howai.

The Express understands Hilaire’s appointment was revoked yesterday by President Christine Kangaloo at the request of the Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar-led Cabinet.

Sources told the Express the Government took this decision because Hilaire was not co-operating with providing information, in particular regarding the ongoing foreign exchange crisis, among other reasons.

Hilaire was first appointed governor and chairman of the CBTT on December 23, 2015, according to the Central Bank’s website.

His term was renewed twice and was due to expire in December 2026.

I don't have a problem with this he is clearly biased and needs to be removed however I hope taxpayers don't feel the brunt of this similar to the jwala situation. The public deserves to know who has limitless access to the forex that runs in this country

who was the 20th vote?
the speaker?

15 + 5 is twenty

This Anthony Vieira is a piece of work.

Seems like in the Parliament before this he voted with the government every single time and now seems to vote with the PNM opposition everytime.

A local Clarence Thomas.

No wonder the PNM president extended his run

I believe she really is just a stooge and was there to carry out the king maker's bidding

[PariaMan]

From the express

"In his media release, Meighoo condemned Vieira, saying he was “strongly pro-Government”, and pointing out that in the 12th Parliament he voted with the Government in 15 of 16 divisions.

“Now that the UNC is in government, he has predictably shifted to opposition. So far in the short life of the 13th Parliament, Senator Vieira failed to support the Prime Minister’s Pension (Amendment) Bill, stood with the Opposition PNM three times in the Committee stage of the Children’s Life Fund (Amendment) Bill, and voted against the repeal of the Trinidad and Tobago Revenue Authority. This isn’t principled independence. This is a pattern,” he said."


He should be dealt with forthwith

He is clearly not independent.

[pugboy]

general rule of thumb is lawyers who get SC dance to the tune of which PM hand it to them
look at lalla who jump ship early and the angostura chairman

however exception is de la bastide voted the other way

I used to like how Anthony Vieira spoke in the senate, but after reviewing his voting history, I realised that it was just empty words, and he simply voted with the PNM .

He even followed them in abstaining

Went to school with both he and Simon

He is truly a disgrace

His voting record in the past is one thing, but after his passionate contribution to the PM’s pension act one would think he would vote NO after making statements about how the bill was dangerous to parliamentary process…. But did he even believe the nonesense he spewed? ..He abstained.. what service is that to the nation?

To all 4 who abstained… that role as an independent is to say yes or no. If you are incapable of this metric please excuse yourself from this role.


Now HOW do we deal with this? I’m genuinely interested and I haven’t seen a route

That's what happens when you have a government in charge of picking a president who in turn picks her cronies to be independent senators....the system is flawed. The citizens should vote on who they want as president as well

Fired Central Bank governor demands $9.87m

FORMER Central Bank Governor Dr Alvin Hilaire is demanding $9.87 million in compensation in his legal warning to the Cabinet, claiming he was wrongfully fired from his job. His lawyers sent a pre-action letter through the Attorney General and the Cabinet Secretary, asking for a quick resolution to the matter.

I think the selection of Christine Kangaloo was just a poor choice as she was previously a supporter of the PNM and her husband is the son of the former PNM MP for Arima and Minister of Education Anthony Garcia

Morning Daddio.

Remember to put on some Aloes before you post. It will help with controlling the froth.

But when did Dr. Singh’s voting record not what he believed in? As I pointed out Mr.Viera’s lack of conviction….
