You read the play very wellRory Phoulorie wrote:shake d livin wake d dead wrote:By end of this week...a unc member will be under investigation
There are many of them who need to be investigated.
However, since Trinis have a 3 days memory, this will happen closer to elections. Right now, the PNM will just throw some scraps from one of their own for the population to lap up and think that the PNM is for fighting against corruption.
We need drastic change in this country if we are to get out of the deep hole that we are in right now. Neither the PNM nor UNC are our salvation. God not going to help us either.

Hinds: PM was not aware cops were probing Marlene
Date:
Monday, August 12, 2019 - 10:00
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley had no knowledge the police were investigating Port-of-Spain South MP and Public Administration Minister Marlene McDonald on allegations of fraud.
The comment came yesterday from Laventille West MP and Minister in the Ministry of Attorney General and Legal Affairs Fitzgerald Hinds when asked if the PM had made a bad decision to reinstate McDonald as a Government minister in light of an ongoing police investigation.
Hinds defended the PM stating: “Well, yes, but he (Rowley) could not have known that it was still ongoing. As we speak today, no police officer...none...from captain to cook has never approached the Prime Minister on this matter. So, he could not have known what is in the police’s mind.”
He said now that this new development has taken place “and the police has surprisingly to us, including the Prime Minister, gone and arrested or detained Marlene McDonald this is a new development. And, therefore, he cannot be held accountable for this new development.”
As PM, Hinds said, Rowley acted with propriety, nobility and on principle.
“Today, the police are now investigating because matters of fraud are never statute-barred. They could have come back with this 15 years down the road. That is the point.”
Hinds was responding yesterday to questions by the media about McDonald’s detention after declaring his constituency’s sport and family day opened in Laventille. Yesterday, marked four days McDonald and her husband Michael Carew remained in police custody following Fraud Squad detectives intensifying their questioning into am alleged multi-million dollar financial misappropiration probe that led to their arrest. On Saturday, two contractors were among those detained by police and were expected to be interviewed in connection with the receipt of state funds for three NGOs distributed by a government ministry.
Police have continued their investigation into the Calabar Foundation in which McDonald allegedly arranged for her partner to receive an HDC home in Fedelis Heights, St Augustine back in 2008. Police are also investigating concerns raised about nearly $600,000 paid out by the Ministry of Community Development while McDonald led that ministry under the Patrick Manning government.
The Integrity Commission (IC) exonerated McDonald on the Calabar Foundation probe in 2013 then reopened it in 2015 because of new information.
She was again exonerated in 2016, but police continued their investigation. Snr Supt Totaram Dookhie, who was the former head of the Fraud Squad Unit and is now at the helm of the Professional Standards Bureau, led the operation on Thursday.
Responding to McDonald’s detention, Hinds said: “This is not a happy moment for us...as a friend, sister and colleague of the Cabinet who has found herself in this situation. We are troubled by it...and we pray that she would come alright.”
Hinds said the party has faith in the T&T Police Service and the law, including Prime Minister who indicated that he would await the end of the police probe before making any decision on McDonald. Questioned if the public had jumped the gun by calling on McDonald to resign, Hinds said yes.
“Yes, I think they are jumping the gun. She has been taken in by the police and being investigated not for the first time.
The Integrity Commission looked at these matters on two occasions and found nothing.
The police are now carrying on an investigation. Let us wait and see what the police will do. If they charge her that is one consideration. If they don’t charge her that is another consideration.”
As he called for the public to exercise patience in the police investigation, Hinds insisted the PNM will “do the right thing in the interest of the public.” Hinds said when Rowley removed McDonald from his Cabinet it allowed the IC to conduct their investigations.
“When he removed her again, it was in my view, her insensitivity in allowing certain persons to have accompany her in a certain place.”
Once cleared, Hinds said, the PM reinstated McDonald again. He described Rowley as a man of principle, truth and can be trusted to do the right thing at the right time.
“And I have no doubt as the situation develops, he will.”
Asked if the police was causing McDonald undue stress, Hinds said from what he gathered McDonald has health challenges.
“But they don’t stand in the way of the process that is now being undertaken.”
He said he expected the police in their investigation to be humane and to take McDonald’s peculiar circumstances into account.

Well This is the most valid question-cuz at this point it brings into question ALL of the investigations done by the IC.
And of course the PM had his history with the IC so ...lets get the answers
Now I will bet they will say that the IC has limited resources,new evidence blah blah blah.
Not Guilty is not equal to Innocent.
