I am not impressed by these cowards use of PNM instead of fella. You guys are posers and keyboard warriors and will always be irrelevant and disliked just like your government. The only way ppl took on the P.P was because the PNM was effing up

Nobody genuinely likes what the UNC/PP stands for and just like everything else in society you guys have to force yourselves on ppl who clearly don't want allyuh in de dance anyways. This government/UNC is like when everybody had to play with the kid who owned the cricket bat but you know he was a imps so everybody went along with it like

If you guys had any balls and did not want to live up to a real stereotype of little testicles you would just say it and not substitute.

Be real.

Oops!

“And inadvertent error” from the Office of the Prime Minister.

In the face of a strong dissociation of Chief State Solicitor Christophe Grant from the contents of a letter attributed to him by the Office of the Prime Minister, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday took responsibility for the mix-up and retracted the original release put out by her office.

The letter, which was responding to Dr Wayne Kublalsingh’s threat of a hunger strike, quoted Grant as stating if Kublalsingh wanted to commence another hunger strike, he would be doing so at his own peril.

Grant told i95FM yesterday: “I had no knowledge of that letter until I read its contents (in the newspapers) to my surprise this morning. I, like you am very troubled by the language. Half of the letter is tinged with politics. And I am saying I have no part in that. I am more professional than that.”

Several hours later, the Prime Minister issued a release stating:

“The Office of the Prime Minister wishes to correct an inadvertent error in the press release issued on Sunday, September 14, 2014 which stated that the Chief State Solicitor had responded to the letter sent by Highway Re-Route Movement Leader, Dr Wayne Kublalsingh, dated 3 September, 2014.

“The letter was in fact sent by the instructing attorney from the Office of the Chief State Solicitor, who was assigned to the pending Constitutional Motion filed by Dr Kublalsingh and other members of the Highway Re-Route Movement,” the release stated.

The original statement from the Prime Minister’s office said the Chief State Solicitor told Kublalsingh that his proposed “action would lead to consequences and risks, which are unknown. However you do so at your own peril.... The State is prepared to abide by the law in this matter and will not be persuaded by the actions of a man who seeks sympathy and empathy from the population in support of the cause. It would lead only to anarchy and tyranny and compromise the rule of law and the democracy which we are a people have grown to enjoy and protect”.

Grant said: “I wish to dissociate myself. I am not the author. I did not pen that letter.”

He added: “I normally don’t talk to the press, I treat these things very professionally. But this is a matter I think of life and death, a man’s life or death.

“I have a lot of respect for people’s lives and I don’t want to be advocating in my children’s thoughts as the one telling the man on the ledge, ‘Go ahead, jump off’.

“I am not the author, I had no sight of the letter. I did not pen any of the thoughts, words or expressions in that letter,” he said.

Grant said he went into his office and saw that there was such a letter from the Chief State Solicitor, but it was signed by one of his junior attorneys who has conduct of the matter.

He said he presumed it was dictated by the advocates in the matter and the instructing attorney was therefore instructed to sign the letter.

In the Prime Minister’s release on Saturday, it was stated Kublalsingh had written to the Prime Minister on September 3 asking that the highway construction be stopped. The release said the Prime Minister “passed the letter to the Attorney General for a response”.

In the Prime Minister release yesterday, she said: “It would not have been prudent for the Office of the Prime Minister to respond to Dr Kublalsingh’s letter whilst the matter is before the courts and hence his letter was forwarded to the State’s legal team so that the issues raised can be appropriately addressed.”

The Prime Minister released a copy of the letter which was signed by Petal Alexander, the attorney in the Office of the Chief State Solicitor who signed for the Chief State Solicitor.

Another reason why the PP is unwanted by the population because they cannot be trusted

CHIEF State Solicitor Christophe Grant has hit a letter penned by a junior attorney to environmentalist Dr Wayne Kublalsingh, and released by the Office of the Prime Minister, as “tinged with politics”.

Distancing himself from the letter, Grant said he does not want to be thought of as someone who would encourage a person to take their life.

On Sunday, the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) disclosed the letter which it said the Chief State Solicitor had written in its response to Kublalsingh who gave Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar until tomorrow to comply with the Armstrong Report or he will go on another hunger strike.

In a statement, the OPM noted that “the Chief State Solicitor had written to Kublalsingh stating that the State could not accede to his request to stop the construction of the Debe to Mon Desir section of the Golconda to Point Fortin Highway.”

Grant is the Chief State Solicitor (CSS).

However, in radio interviews yesterday, Grant was adamant that he did not “vet” the letter referred to by the OPM nor was it passed to him.

He said he read the contents of the letter sent to Kublalsingh, dated September 10, with surprise, adding that half of the letter was “tinged with politics.”

Grant admitted he was troubled by the language used in the letter.

“I have no part in that... I wish to disassociate myself, I am not the author, I did not pen that letter,” he said in the interviews on several radio stations.

“I treat these things very professionally,” Grant said. Attempts to reach Grant on his cellular phone and his office line were futile.

According to Grant, the letter was written by one of his junior attorneys who has conduct of Kublalsingh and the Highway Re-route Movement’s lawsuit currently before the courts.

“This is a matter I think of life and death…a man’s life or death. I have a lot of respect for people’s lives and I don’t want to be associated in my children’s thoughts...as to the one telling the man on the ledge, ‘go ahead jump nah’,” he said.

In 2012, Kublalsingh embarked on a 21-day hunger strike to stop the construction of the controversial segment of the multi-million dollar highway.

Yesterday, he was adamant that he will go through with his threat of embarking on another hunger strike, even if it costs him his life.

Kublalsingh will assemble at noon tomorrow at the OPM in St Clair.

“It is a risk I have to take. What is at stake is very high. What am I to do? Give up?” he said.

Admitting that he was concerned about his health, he said the fight for the preservation of the southwestern coast had to be fought with vigour and conviction.

“I am worried I won’t go very far with this hunger strike. I am not strong at the moment and it will take courage and a leap of faith,” he told Newsday.

As for the letter sent to him by the office of the CSS, Kublalsingh admitted he did not read it carefully as its tone was intimidatory.

“I do not respond well to intimidation. I do not think it is a good approach by the Prime Minister to be intimidatory. The good approach now is to sit down and dialogue. They will eventually lose because this is about development,” he said.

Kublalsingh hopes the Prime Minister will meet with him and the HRM to discuss their concerns.

“One ought to all the time call on one’s leaders to account and one must keep trying,” he said of his efforts.

The letter referred to by the OPM as having been sent by the Chief State Solicitor to Kublalsingh was written by attorney Petal Alexander, for the CSS. The three page letter was written on the official letterhead of the Ministry of the Attorney General — Chief State Solicitor’s Department.

In a subsequent statement yesterday, the OPM indicated that it made an error in Sunday’s press release. The statement said the letter to which it referred as having come from the CSS was in fact sent by the instructing attorney from the office of the CSS, who was assigned to the pending constitutional motion.

“It would not have been prudent for the Office of the Prime Minister to respond to Dr Kublalsingh’s letter whilst the matter is before the courts and hence his letter was forwarded to the State’s legal team so that the issues raised can be appropriately addressed,” the OPM said yesterday.

In its statement on Sunday, the OPM noted the Prime Minister passed Kublalsingh’s letter, dated September 3, on to Attorney General Anand Ramlogan for a response.

The statement from the OPM said in a letter, dated September 10, the Chief State Solicitor “pointed out that the issues raised by Dr Kublalsingh and his Highway Re-Route Movement (HRM), formed part of the constitutional motion filed against the State.

The statement also said, “The Chief State Solicitor added, “your final two paragraphs of your letter express your intention to commence another hunger strike to highlight your plight. As you accurately set out in your letter, such action would lead to consequences and risks, which are unknown. However, you do so at your own peril. While you have the right to protest in a lawful manner, the State has the duty and responsibility to protect life and will not be deterred in adhering to that responsibility as it had done in the past. The State is prepared to abide by the law in this matter and will not be persuaded by the actions of a man who seeks sympathy and empathy from the population in support of the cause. Should the State adopt such a cause, it would lead only to anarchy and tyranny and compromise the rule of law and the democracy, which we as a people have grown to enjoy and protect,” the Chief State Solicitor ended, according to the OPM.

In a statement yesterday, the Communications Workers Union secretary general Joseph Remy likened the latest imbroglio to that of the “Prisongate” scandal, accusing the Attorney General of engaging in public mischief and calling for his removal from office.

All three daily newpapers are reporting the same thing. This government cannot be trusted and the people will do the right thing in 2015

Not surprised. Coincidentally, thts how anan started off

[No Mediacore]

Noone in the media can be trusted

[Crackpot]

Noone in the media can be trusted

Is it mediocre you fail to spell and want to join in when big ppl talking

Kams was wrong to take away capital punishment in schools yes

Big dUNCe

[No Mediacore]

Nah cracko i ent one a yuh snack pack rats

[j.o.e]

An army of new accounts...mostly in political threads, this is odd

[desifemlove]

Dr. KRowley taking ah leaf from de Kamla book....how come he mammaguying de Manning corps so? lol..

And de people ent want UNC? maybe not, but I suspect they could win:

- People are gullible, if Kamla promise x and delivers x, 4 shitty years can be forgotten
- if Kamla can get back St. Joseph and Chag. West, even without runoff, she has a good chance

[SiR8081]

So the media chose to print the juicy excerpts from the statement then could make no headway with that except through the Chief State Solicitor who read the media extracts and took it as facts without reading the entire statement. Hook, line and sinker. He did say that he only read the media reports. I myself read the initial media reports and agreed with him until I read the entire statement.

I think that he was very premature and wasted time going to the radio. He is the Chief State Solicitor and should have acquired that facts concerning that matter. It is not like anyone can withhold information from him b/c of his very position. Very foolish of him in my opinion. He looks stupid now b/c he got baited by the media. A man with his position and experience ought to know better than to get drawn in to petty politics.

So you all saying the govt and the PM cannot be trusted b/c someone made an error on a release. Based on this there should be a general election. Do any of you know how stupid you sound? Do you all think the prime minister prepares the statements to be released to the public or she has people to do that?

This is the same as the article with the calling out of the TTDF reserves. All the time it was being done under the PNM and was not questioned b/c it is normal in our republic but here b/c it is the PP it is being questioned. Before you say it is b/c no one trusts this gov't, ask yourself who raised the issue and if you think he should know better or if it is that he just does not care about the public. Anything to gain cheap political points even at the cost of the unease of the public and the nation.

It is also the same as when the PP now came into office and were hiring members of the media to PR positions in ministries and state companies. People were saying this is the way they were buying out the media. Then when Diane Baldeo - Singh (TV6) and another writer from the express left that newspaper to become active members of the PNM(senator and platform speaker respectively), people were saying it is the same as the PP govt hiring members of the media to PR positions.

How does someone from the media, leaving that industry to become a senator and the other a platform speaker the same as someone leaving private sector to join the public sector to do the same job which is a media/PR position.

Are any of you seeing a pattern over the past 4 years?
