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.

its NOT enough that she be FIRED, she needs to do JAIL time, and all of the people that helped her, if this were a normal citizen facing similar charged this would end in jail, why should she be treated any differently?
She should have a more severe sentencing as she is in a public office using OUR fr1gg1ng money.
Set the right example NOW peeneme or show the entire country/Region/world how you PROTECT your own from jail.

You read the play very well

Rowley the corruption buster.

In a few years Marlene will win her case on a technicality. By that time PNM will tske care of her and fill her bank account as pay back.

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.

Wait till you find out we have an Administrative FIU and not an Investigative one.

They can merely report STRs to one of 4 agencies.

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.

Reporter: Shaliza Hassanali


well, hinds statements exonerated PNM from culpability of doing the right thing and stamping out corruption from even their own midst.
if the right thing was done, it was not because of their actions.


but again, does rowley have inside information about the actions of marlene that may assist the police in their investigation? becuase his actions to her came with little credible justification for us on the outside.

So as head of the national security council Sh!tkickers fully aware of who the "Mr. Bigs" are in the country and he wouldn't have an inkling that a member of his own party, a PNM deputy political leader was being investigated by the police?

Yuh hadda be real chupid to believe that...:|

What did the Integrity Commission clear Marlene of? Hema Ramkissoon spoke with Dr Winford James on the Morning Brew. He says the Integrity Commission should now clear its name.
