UNC: PNM passing the buck

THE United National Congress (UNC) yesterday claimed that statements made by Planning Minister Dr Keith Rowley prove that the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) has abdicated all responsibility to govern Trinidad and Tobago.

The UNC said Rowley’s utterances demonstrate “a clear lack of understanding of the principles of ministerial responsibility and collective responsibility of the Cabinet.” It viewed Rowley’s statement as “a pathetic and sorry attempt to pass the buck and to blame public servants for the widely acknowledged incompetence of the Minister of National Security and the entire Cabinet.”
