Jack to sue Panday over radio comments
Published: 13 Aug 2009
Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner is taking Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday to court for what Warner claimed yesterday was slander. The action by Warner is the latest salvo between the estranged MP and Panday, the UNC’s political leader.
The matter involved comments reportedly made by Panday in a radio interview which involved the $309,000 which Warner gave to the Chaguanas Regional Corporation. Warner has retained British counsel Allan Newman to represent him and has forwarded a copy of the tape to his lawyer via Fedex yesterday. “How could his colleagues Kamla Persad- Bissessar, Tim Gopeesingh and Wade Mark allow him (Panday) to behave this way?” Warner asked in a telephone interview. Warner said his aim was to assist the retrenched workers of the borough. “Minister of Local Government Hazel Manning is correct to look at the situation,” he said.
“They are creative and I know they will come up with something. “What I wanted was to make it possible to put food on the tables of those people. I am the granter of that cheque and Panday is going to pay for tarnishing my image locally and internationally. He is going to have a long hot summer.” Local Government Minister Manning has sought the advice of the Attorney General on whether Warner can pay the wages of 54 workers of the Chaguanas Borough Corporation.

Character Assassination - Legality
Mr. Warner you and you alone must make decisions to protect yourself. If the claims made by Mr. Panday falls outside acceptable behaviour, and has caused you unnecessary harm, and you believe that legal steps must be taken, then go ahead. Mr. Panday's behavious has been reckless and is continuing to deteriorate as time goes by. Sorry, Mr. Warner, but Kamla, Mark or Tim are not responsible for Mr. Panday's behaviour. He is an adult and they are not his guardians. However, it is no secret that they have supported his reckless behaviour, even though intelligence would tell them that he is 'loosing his marbles'. Mr. Warner, you are in a position to assist your constituents, and you step forward, and we thank you for that. However, there are procedures on the books that must be followed and if your generousity is outside these guidelines, then appropriate decisions will have to be made. We need more people in this country to step up and assist others when they are in need. Mr. Panday knows that he is now a thing of the past, but he is out of control, same as our P.M., but hold on to 'positions of power', even while it is destroying them, those around them and the country. At this rate we will have to wait for them to 'self-destruct', as it seems that no one can convince them to step aside in the interest of the people and this country and their own sanity.
Eh eh , back to court for
Eh eh , back to court for Panday .
“How could his colleagues Kamla Persad- Bissessar, Tim Gopeesingh and Wade Mark allow him (Panday) to behave this way?” Warner asked .
They are Panday's minions and they cannot prevent him from putting his feet in his mouth . Senator Wade Mark had promised to go after Mayor Navas and RamJackWin , therefore , Panday has their full support . Panday went to Chaguanas West to put the constituents against Jack , he met with the displaced workers in Deputy mayor , Orlando Nagessar's office and told them , among other things , that the UNC was not in power . He also called on the PNM government to provide the money to pay the workers , a request which was not granted , eventhough , recently at a public meeting in Chaguanas , PM Manning and his minions said that Chaguanas was now PNM . In the end , Jack Warner provided the money to pay the workers and as they say , the rest is history - but in Panday's case , it's off to court , again ; this time being sued by Jack .

Good for you Jack!! it's
Good for you Jack!! it's about time someone holds this
"loose cannon" accountable.
Jack please stop fighting
Jack please stop fighting Panday and the UNC members and rather take out your frustation on Manning and the PNM. The people will support you however, fighting the wrong people makes you really look like a PNM agent. Maybe Panday is right after all, you act like
a PNM agent.
PERSAD , Austin 'Jack'
PERSAD , Austin 'Jack' Warner is a Vice-president of FIFA and the President of CONCACAF , he is also in-charge of the Youth World Cup . Thousands of young people and adults , all over the world holds Jack Warner in high esteem . What the Bass said pertaining to Mr.Warner and his money was laced with malice and I would like to opine that his intention was to bring Jack Warner into disrepute among right thinking people . Persad , this matter has nothing to do with whether Jack is a PNM agent or not - rather , it has to do with whether Jack's good reputation (character) is being assassinated or not .
"Good name in man and woman is the immediate jewel of their soul . He who steals my purse, steals trash , it was mine , it's his ; and has been slave to thousands . But he who filches from me my good name , takes that , which not enriches him - but makes me poor , indeed" . William Shakespeare .

Not only "loose cannon".
Not only "loose cannon". Panday is the "Ultimate NEEMAKARAN!" (UN) For many years Jack's money was good and clean enough for for him, Oma and the girls. Now the chief of all Neemakarans biting the hand that fed him. What an ungrateful man!
