Padarath: Claims of Tobago birthday bash affecting travellers a ‘complete lie’

Public Utilities Minister Barry Padarath is rubbishing social media claims that he held a birthday bash in Tobago, which led to Caribbean Airlines being forced to remove confirmed travellers off flights to accommodate his guests.

Speaking with Guardian Media yesterday, Padarath called the allegations a “complete LIE!”

Padarath celebrated his birthday on Saturday (July 19).

A picture on social media appeared to show the minister among the crowd of spectators viewing parts of the Heritage Festival.

Over the weekend, there were claims online that a prominent minister’s birthday celebrations in Tobago prompted CAL to “pull legitimate travellers off flights to ensure room for other ministers, friends and financiers” to attend.

However, Padarath, trashing the social media claim, said, “I have no intentions of playing into concocted stories by the PNM (People’s National Movement) and their agents.”

On Sunday, Caribbean Airlines also dismissed the claims. In a statement, it said no confirmed passengers on the airbridge were displaced to accommodate Government officials. CAL explained that all passengers holding confirmed bookings on both days were on their booked flights and several people travelling on standby were also served. CAL also pointed out there were 182 unused seats on the airbridge last Saturday.

Meanwhile, Padarath didn’t reply to questions for his views on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s call for her ministers and Government officials not to engage in partying and feteing during the State of Emergency. Padarath also did not respond to queries on whether or not the Prime Minister’s instructions came before or after the alleged party in Tobago.

Persad-Bissessar’s directive followed the attendance of several ministers at a US Embassy cocktail party on July 18, hours after the SoE was called.

3 wives eh....

Elder defends wife’s alleged appointment to State board
‘She’s more than qualified for any position’

One Government Minister is denying that nepotism is at play when it comes to State board appointments.

It comes as the wives of three Government Ministers are set to sit on two State boards.

Curley Kesar, wife of Minister in the Ministry of Energy, Ernesto Kesar, was yesterday announced as one of the eight newly-appointed members of the National Lotteries Control Board (NLCB).

Last week, it was claimed that Natasha Richardson, wife of Minister in the Ministry of Public Utilities, Clyde Elder, and Natasha Moonilal, wife of Minister of Energy and Energy Industries, Dr Roodal Moonilal, were also selected to form part of the new South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA) board.

There were claims that Natasha Moonilal will be the deputy chairman of the board.

However, Elder, while shying away from saying if his wife was indeed appointed to the SWRHA board, denied there was any nepotism. Instead, Elder defended his wife saying she was more than qualified for the position.

Responding to Guardian Media via WhatsApp, Elder said his wife is a registered nurse, licensed midwife and an attorney-at-law.

“My wife has not been appointed to any board as yet, but I believe there was leaked information that she might be. In any event, if or when she is, please note that my wife, Ms Natasha Richardson, is a Registered Nurse, a Licensed Midwife and an Attorney-at-Law. She has been employed as a Registered Nurse since 2005 and therefore, she is not only well qualified but has extensive experience in the health sector.”

He said his wife should be considered for any position because of her qualifications and because she is entitled to it as a citizen.

“There is no issue of nepotism since I am in no way responsible for the Ministry of Health and what transpires there. In any event, she is a citizen of Trinidad and Tobago and is entitled to be considered for any position available. Her relationship to me should not ever be used as a means that disqualifies her from holding any office she chooses to be in. She’s qualified, experienced, capable and competent.”

Meanwhile, Kesar did not respond to questions about his wife being appointed to the NLCB board, while Moonilal also did not respond to allegations that his wife was tipped to be appointed to the SWRHA board.

Guilty.

All this back and forth, who really lying?

Passenger said he was displaced by CAL -> Barry denies
CoP say Rowley not on any watch list -> Antigua immigration told Rowley that he was
Barry said the Diplomatic centre is unfit -> Rowley said it was in good condition -> It was used for PM Modi's visit
Moonilal said the Debe campus is in a horrid state -> UWI says it is ready for operations
White hall not suitable for our PM -> Rowley says it was in good condition -> cancels OSHA visit

3 minister's wives on the state board.

But but Faris wife was collecting rent for One Alexandria!!!

Special indeed. One complaint of a displacement on a flight so far and pnm still running with a conspiracy. If this exact scenario happened under the pnm with rohan birthday in tobago for example, one eye will say that the story is fake and is unc mischief.

Surprised he didn't hit us with "wHO hAVe thE EYes wiLL sEE"

Would someone on a state board attract more auditable evidence through decelerations as public figures on boards vs a rent boss?

I never equated that rental costs = board appointments, simply about Minister’s wives and the spin expected in defense of the board appointments.

That scenario never happened.

Her health has been questioned during campaigning, seems like her own people are not concerned about her well-being, only what they can use her for.

Yes, one gets the sense she is worse off than previously thought. Those few days she was out for Modi her entire demeanor was one of frailty. There'e being 70 something and then there's being something like Biden was.

I hope Kamla is aligning herself with people who have her best interest at heart. I sense a GOT level of connivanance within the UNC with that team of shittongs and questionable characters in her circle.

Something is up and mami is not well.. we are all sensing it

There is literally no one fit enough or liked well enough to run the UNC should the Queen happen to...

In April, the NCC took a $200M loan to pay bills for Carnival 2025. A balance of $178M is still owed to stakeholders.


FORMER National Carnival Commission (NCC) chairman Winston “Gypsy” Peters defended the former administration’s borrowing of $200 million to pay Carnival contractors, saying that this administration would soon, too, have to borrow to pay debts.

Gypsy responded to statements in a release from the Michelle Benjamin-led Ministry of Culture and Community Development.

In that release the ministry said financial records showed that, in April, the commission took a $200 million loan to pay bills related to Carnival 2025.

It added that sum was spent and there was still a balance of $178 million owed to Carnival stakeholders for goods and services provided during the festival.

In a phone interview on July 23, Gypsy confirmed the borrowing and said, “The government borrowed the money. So, I don’t know what they are talking about, the commission cannot borrow any money.”

He said the former government and commission did what they believed was the right thing to do, at the time.

“If this government believes that is not the right thing, let them do whatever they have to do to look into it.”

Peters said the debt was not one from last year but rather cumulative debt.

He said there was always going to be debt as the commission never received adequate money to run the annual event.

allyuh not seeing the whole scheme or wha

the loan was for the associated kickbacks every year and extra more as election year
think scaffolding, tents, the lil plumbing for the temp toilets and thing they does build for the carnival village

with a loan under the guise of carnival and “stakeholders” like gypsy and panmen it could never be a bad loan
