THE upheaval in Laventille West over incumbent Fitzgerald Hinds is the mere tip of a revolt against the leadership of Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley and his handpicked successor Stuart Young.
SHORTLY after the PNM won the 2015 general election, I attended a meeting of heads of agencies under the Communications Ministry, called by Minister Maxie Cuffie.
Cuffie asked about billings for election broadcasts and advertising.
AS internal mudslinging worsens in the People’s National Movement (PNM), some party election contenders are threatening to expose alleged corruption by a colleague.
The Rowley Government has shown by words and action that it is heavily Port of Spain-centric, and this urban focus has been to the detriment of outlying districts.
Even as the city has fallen into decay and neglect, the Prime Minister speaks of its revitalisation, and being “potentially vibrant and full of economic opportunities in a bright future…”
PRIME Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, who presided over the net flight of US $2.6 billion in investments in 2022-2023, is furious over objections to the suspicious entry of a corruption-accused businessman.
A FULL-BLOWN conflict has now broken out in the People’s National Movement (PNM) over Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley’s dogged determination to secure Stuart Young as the next party boss.
A DUNCE CAP FOR IMBERT
COLM Imbert wrote the PNM’s 2015 general election manifesto, which faithfully promised to grow and diversify the economy.
Imbert and the PNM guaranteed that there would be “macroeconomic stability, strong institutions and investor confidence.”
