THE Trinidad and Tobago political world is humming about a turncoat operative who passed on a confidential file from one major organisation to another.
Word is that the politician requested the document from a colleague and the next day held private talks with a senior official of a rival party, who facilitated his entry into that body.
The political deserter is said to have handed over the classified papers.
The file held privileged information about alleged sinister activities being undertaken by the politician who assisted with the defection.
Sources say that details from the sensitive documents were originally aimed at being released on the election husting.
The clandestine manner in which the file was sought from colleagues and passed onto opponents has several in-the-known officials asking whether honour and trust no longer exist in the vocation of politics.
“Switching political sides is one thing,” one informed person said, “but obtaining information in a surreptitious and covert manner shows a lack of class and dignity.”
In the run-up to the August 14 local government election, there has been political confusion, with only some of which are being reported in the traditional media.
