No independent journalist will get a media pass
The United National Congress (UNC) has taken issue with the proposal of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to dismantle the country's service commissions, saying the party will not support this.
At the PNM sports day held at Toco on Sunday, Rowley said he intended to abolish this country's four service commissions in 2024 and replace them with one tribunal.
“These so-called independent service commissions that are hamstringing this country, there are certain things that will never change, that will never improve, as long as basic management tenets are not being met.
“What we want in the 21st century, is to abolish all those service commissions and replace them with one tribunal. Because the purpose behind a service commission in 1962, was to protect people from arbitrary action of the incoming new government in the new country of TT, and (for) some people who were afraid that there would have been racial discrimination and this and that and the other,” Rowley had said.
Speaking at a press conference today Opposition Senator Wade Mark however, questioned whether the PM was in the right frame of mind when he made these statements.
"I was wondering whether Dr Rowley was under the influence of alcohol. I was wondering whether Dr Rowley was in a stable frame of mind because that cannot be coming from the mind of a prime minister," Mark said.
Holding a document which Mark said was the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago he further accused Rowley of "committing sacrilege."
Referring to the document Mark said, "This is a sacred space. You (Rowley) did not choose to come to the Parliament to tell us what your plans are for the service commissions.
"You did not choose to say in an address to the nation....when your people, your supporters that went to the sports day, you choose when people were having fun to threaten and to interfere with sacrilege against the Constitution and the institutions under our Constitution."
Mark also made it clear that under the UNC there be no support for the abolition of these service commissions.
He said the only abolition that people want is the "abolition of the PNM."

Young: 2-day crime symposium cost $3.4m
Energy Minister and Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister Stuart Young said the original cost of the two-day Caricom crime symposium, hosted by this country, given by the Prime Minister, did not include the “associated expenses” of the symposium.
On April 26 in the House of Representatives, Dr Rowley fielded questions from the Opposition on several matters including the cost of the April 17 and 18 conference held at the Hyatt Regency in Port of Spain. At that time, he said the cost was "only $1.5 million" and not $15 million as suggested by Naparima MP Rodney Charles.
But during the Standing Finance Committee on Friday, Young said an extra $1.8 million was part of other expenses that supported the conference, which was not previously calculated.
“The total cost estimated at this stage (for the symposium) is $3.4 million. The $1.5 million (given by the PM) is the direct cost for the symposium. These other costs are: invitations $5,000; dinner, $60.000; team uniforms, $25,000; an event planner $140,000; display of NGOs $50,000; website content development $100,000; social media/media monitoring $100,000; photography and video editing $200,000; set design banners, signage etc $800,000; meals for the secretariat $50,000; co-ordinator for the national secretariat, $30,000; and a contingency amount of $300,000 which may or may not have been used.”
The two-day Caricom special symposium addressed crime as a public health issue and saw prime ministers from several Caricom nations in attendance.

Do the existing CCTV cameras even work? Does anyone monitor these cameras? Have they helped solve any cases? The only person I see benefitting is the person supplying the cameras.
Activist Ravi Balgobin Maharaj, in a series of Freedom of Information applications sent to Government ministries, obtained the data which revealed between September 2015 to March 3, 2023, a total of $1,116,405,411.34 was paid out to 109 attorneys, some of whom will be bestowed the title of Senior Counsel next week.
Speaking to Guardian Media on Sunday afternoon, Mark said on 29 November 2022, Armour was asked in the Senate whether his former law chambers, Marie de Vere chambers, had been paid any legal fees during the period 19 June 2021 to 31 March 2022. Armour responded that no fees had been paid to his former chambers.
However, the documents supplied to Maharaj under the FOIA show during the period June 19, 2021 to 30 September 2021, Armour, who was head of Marie de Vere chambers received $1.8 million, while his juniors in the same chambers, Raphael Ajodhia and Vanessa Gopaul,received $1.685 million and $1.818 million respectively.
Further payments were also made during the period 1 October 2021 to 30th September 2022 but it is impossible to know from the aggregate figure how much of that money would have been paid during the period January to March 2022.
