TRINIDAD and Tobago and Venezuela are to begin discussions on energy, security and trade.
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley said he had a “very long conversation” with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and the two countries were preparing to hold meetings on energy, security and trade.
During his five years as Opposition Leader, Rowley had spoken about the 10.25 trillion cubic feet gas field known as Loran-Manatee off Trinidad’s southwest coastline.
For the past five years attempts to arrive at a resolution between this country and Venezuela for the exploration of this field have been unsuccessful.
Speaking at an appreciation ceremony at Pier I, Chaguaramas, on Tuesday night, Rowley appeared to be optimistic.

You know the AG dont actually go to court right ? Its an administrative post.

That said, the PNM nepotism will return shortly with under qualified persons being promoted to high positions within state companies and ministries. That is something I rarely saw happen under PP, in fact in many state enterprises I saw hardcore and well known PNM persons being promoted without prejudice.

I see some UNC supporters taking up issue with Helen Drayton's appointment, seems they are unable to discern that people can perform their functions impartially depending on the office they hold. Don't we expect the same from Judges, yet still they vote in elections don't they? BTW this isn't her first Board appointment

Up until now you still have not realised that UML pulls all these "facts" out of her ass. She cannot provide definite bonafide sources for the drivel she spews on a daily basis.

Considering how she voted in various bills it's more than coincidental

I was referring to his career as a lawyer. Not the sharpest tool are we?
