How many times will Rowley move Hinds ?
Anthony Garcia still there? I guess the PNM wants to continue to use the Ministry of Education and EFCL as a corruption tool. Easier to say we cutting back on roadworks than say we cutting back on educating the population.

NEWLY appointed Public Utilities Minister Marlene McDonald is already causing a stir after she was accompanied to her swearing-in ceremony yesterday by Cedric “Burkie” Burke—who was in 2011 arrested and charged under the anti-gang law.
McDonald was sworn in by President Anthony Carmona, at President's House in St Ann's, in the presence of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley just before 2 p.m. where she was photographed by the Express being congratulated by Burke. By evening, a photograph of Carmona and McDonald flanking Burke at the St Ann's office was posted to social media by the watchdog group Fixin' T&T.
The civic group captioned the photo, “Do you know the gentleman in the middle?”
Burke, a community leader in McDonald's Port of Spain South constituency, was arrested along with Keon “Baine” Bain at the Hyatt Regency hotel during the 2011 State of Emergency.
Burke was charged with being a gang leader and Bain, with being a member of a Sea Lots, Port of Spain, gang. They were both freed.
The Express also understands prior to yesterday, Burke was not listed as a guest for clearance by the President's security.
