Who owned those guns?

The spin that was put on the story of the children of Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi and the automatic guns was mesmerising.

My main concern was the ownership of the very fancy high-powered guns in the hands of the children.

The board of inquiry’s report stated that “the Attorney General’s children were not allowed to have high-powered weapons belonging to the Defence Force in the presence of the Attorney General and members of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force.” Most interesting. So did the Al-Rawi children walk with their own guns to the range? Or did the guns belong to the army and the children were using them while not in the presence of the AG and members of the Defence Force? Did not an officer, in October 2016, clearly state that the children were allowed, by the Defence Force, to hold the guns? He said then that the children were curious and the protocols followed were those for a career guidance session.

So why the big “pappyshow” now? People are only seeking to cover their behinds.

It was also totally reprehensible that someone on the range took the pictures of the children and sent them to a member of the Opposition.
