Jack is Acting Prime Minister
By Clint Chan Tack Friday, July 2 2010

PRIME MINISTER Kamla Persad-Bissessar once again demonstrated her continued trust in Works and Transport Minister Jack Warner when she yesterday selected him over more politically experienced members of her Cabinet to act in her stead while she is out of the country next week.

Making the announcement at the post-Cabinet news conference at the Office of the Prime Minister, St Clair press secretary Garvin Nicholas said Persad-Bissessar leaves Trinidad and Tobago tomorrow to attend the Caricom Heads of Government meeting in Montego Bay, Jamaica from Sunday (July 4) to Wednesday (July 7).

Nicholas said Persad-Bissessar will address the opening of the meeting at the Rosehall Resort and Spa on Sunday in her capacity as “a newly elected head.” The meeting will be her first Caricom leaders meeting since being elected as Prime Minister on May 24. Last month, Guyana President Bharath Jagdeo paid a courtesy call on Persad-Bissessar ahead of the Jamaica meeting to discuss new forms of economic cooperation between both countries.

Nicholas also said Persad-Bissessar will address the human and development session of the Caricom meeting, on the issue of crime and security. TT is responsible for security matters in the regional body’s quasi-Cabinet. The Prime Minister will be accompanied on her trip by Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Suruj Rambachan and Trade and Industry Minister Stephen Cadiz.

After the meeting ends, Nicholas said Persad-Bissessar will conduct “a working visit” to Kingston on the invitation of Jamaican Prime Minister Bruce Golding from Thursday (July to Friday (July 9) when she departs for Miami. Persad-Bissessar will stay in Miami from Friday to Sunday (July 11) where she will visit with family and attend a private function. The Prime Minister returns home on Monday (July 12).

I gather most know that the dinner is not state funded, but the cost to get to the UK is state funded.

Hey if Rowley wants to kill two birds with one stone then that's his prerogative with state funds
But there are many Trinis that will view this as a conflict of interest. I don't think his supporters will see it that way.

When I do accuse him of arrogance, I'd be more than happy to.

My issue was with his handling of the issue, it made him seem arrogant. It's like when someone asks you like yuh dotish?, in a particular situation but really meaning that you should know better.

I have no issue with fundraising efforts for a private cause such as Balisier House. It makes it look almost noble, and rootsy. Again my issue is when you don't disclose these things in advance, then you risk looking slippery to John Public. Answers like "I don't have to answer unless KPB answers" "I have court clothes" don't help what was for a time, a softer, more statesmanlike approach post-September 7th victory speech.
