So we have 20 or so ministers and then the AG.
The next thing should be the ministries composition and terms of reference which would yield cabinet.
Really don't know very much about new Minister Of Energy, but this particular ministry aint easy given the state enterprises falling under this portfolio.
Congrats folks hope you govern well.

Previous government didnt do much for the muslim community so dont expect any different

Documents arranged for Haj
Eid celebration grants
Had Muslims in government
ECCE school at Asja Charlieville
Infrastructure work in Charlieville
COSTAATT Campus Charlieville

Muslim brothers who know better can add to this list.

you iz Muslim?

[York]

a man say iz ah OJT cabinet yes!

[York]

3 outright bad choices..... hinds dumbert and d whale.

Agreed 100%

But i guess the logic is that we need the experienced heads who has been in government before versus the newbies. Also, they are front line speakers in the Parliament who can deal with the UNC.

Let's see how it goes.

WE??

[York]

Reflecting on the cabinet positions. Classic 4-3-2-1.
Ppl worried about imbert's ability to handle the finance ministry but its the delivery of the findings in the ministry and the overall expenditure in all the ministries that is important.
Al wari and young are the wingers-attacking mids in the ag office. They have their workload cut out for them and will be called to 'put it in de sauce' from time to time.
Growley in the defensive mid in the centre controlling the tempo of the game in front of the defence with shamfa on the left flank and rambarath on the right flank with avinash overlapping from the right back position. Deyalsingh is left back while Dillon is first stopper. Goalie/sweeper is marlene. Hind in last stopper position

doh forget Amery get left out position...

[York]

Yeah Dr. Rowley lose points for no Hindus or Muslims, but its almost 50% women so you cant please everybody.

It is what it is. Once competence and fairness is exhibitied religion should bear no influence.

However I would like to see Inshan next week cuz he used to always tote UNC had 1 token Muslim.

it's debateable that Karim is a muslim...his wife is a pastor in her own church. heard he uttered something a couple of months ago that a christian rather than a muslim would say.

Was actually referring to Nizam Baksh though. Yunno Inshan doh like Muslims who does drink like Fuad and we'll we know Karim wife is pastor.

[RASC]

As alluded to by another member...
This isn't the final cabinet I'm telling you this is the starting rotation for a witch hunt.

They needed to have the sharpest tongues and the quickest minds for specific roles within the specific ministries- to flush out the UNC loyalists who were aiding in the corrupt awarding of contracts, bid rigging and under hand dealings of the previous administration.

Parliament is going to be a riot.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

RASC you sounding exactly like Uml. That could never be a good thing.

[rfari]

A2be, what's the issue there tho?

[RASC]

So what you're saying is KEEP the people who helped usher in the largest deficit the country has ever experienced in recent history?

For a person allergic to bunny ears... You seem to have no problem with thriving corruption and unaccounted monies.

[greggle71]

"Without fear or favour, malice or ill will"

The construct of an administration shouldn't be perceived to be there to target individuals or groups. The introduction of that type of approach will be no better than an AG under the previous administration publicly declaring he going after people, yet delivered nothing after 400 million of tax payers dollars.

Let the govt bring the appropriate legislation to protect the whistleblower under the ambit of good governance and in the normal course of duties if information comes to fore then let the process take its course.

[UML]

Awaits a substantial contribution uml charliville is not the only muslim community.

Karim
Nizam

RASC you sounding exactly like Uml. That could never be a good thing.

The only way this could be bad...is if the subjects of this witch hunt are not witches
But all of agree that there are witches.
So we need a real witch hunt not a political charade

As apeople we need a body capable of identifying,investigating,charging holders of public office.

Not passively waiting for somebody to say something.

[RASC]

Exactly.
The UNC went on a witch hunt and found Z E R O witches.
People were terminated under false pretense...and won their cases-not only that replaced them with grossly underqualified individuals (Reshmi)

Y'all have to be fools to think the PNM learnt exactly what NOT to do.

You see Faris? How he smiling with all those individuals there... Half that room (loyal to Anand) not gonna be around in 1-2 years time-I'm not asking you I'm telling you! They're gonna make their living hell a nightmare and have so much dirt over their heads they'll have no choice but to resign. This is a chess game.

[DrunkenMaster16]

More like domino's rene... I honestly hope the best for the new administration. Good luck PM Dr. Rowley, he's got a lot of work to do.

Police raid NIDCO after shredding report
Saturday, September 12 2015

OFFICERS from the Fraud Squad along with Port-of-Spain CID detectives yesterday searched the Portof- Spain offices of the National Infrastructure Development Company Limited (NIDCO) following information that employees were shredding documents.

According to reports, at about 10 am, officers arrived at the NIDCO building on Melbourne Street and informed the sentry on duty that they had information about documents being destroyed.

The sentry contacted officials of NIDCO who allowed the officers into the building where they searched the entire compound, but could find no evidence of any shredding taking place.

The officers then contacted and informed their seniors that no evidence of any wrongdoing was found.

The officers were then told to return to their respective police stations.

Newsday understands that Special Branch officers also went to the Knowlsey Building where the National Operations Centre (NOC) is housed, and spoke with some of the officials there.

They were allowed to view the operations and after about one hour the officers left.

It could not be ascertained why police went to the NOC offices.

What does that have to do with UNC not charging Calder Hart ? Either Calder Hart innocent or the UNC was protecting him.
