ATGWTU applauds Rowley, Ramesh partnership

At Thursday’s post-Cabinet news conference at the Office of the Prime Minister in St Clair, Rowley said he makes no apology for being a firm believer in the death penalty.

With the assistance of Maharaj, who led the charge as attorney general against notorious drug lord Dole Chadee and eight of his cohorts resulting in them being hanged for murder in 1999, Rowley hopes to create a system which ensures the fiveyear timeline set out in the case of Pratt and Morgan are met so those who commit murders are ultimately punished.

President of the trade union, Nirvan Maharaj said in a press release yesterday, “It is truly good to see individuals in this country who, regardless of personal political points of view or differences in the issue of governance can come together, united under the banner of Trinidad and Tobago in the interest of our nation.” Maharaj called for a “one day extra ordinary sitting of Parliament” where the Government and Opposition can discuss solutions to the troubling crime situation as a “united national front” instead of opposing parties.

“I wish to reiterate that when the country is in crisis, the Opposition must not oppose for opposing sake or to satisfy their personal whims and fancies; and the Government must also not impose for imposing sake.”
