PM baffled over probe collapse
Published: 8 Sep 2009
Prime Minister Patrick Manning is promising a probe into the collapse of the Uff Commission of Enquiry into the Construction Sector.
This follows failure of the Government to publish in the Gazette notification of the inquiry.
Manning was questioned on the development after yesterday’s presentation of the 2009/2010 budget by Finance Minister Karen Tesheira in the House of Representatives. The commission, which was due to resume hearings in the Winsure Building on Richmond Street, Port-of-Spain, yesterday, has been suspended because of the omission.
Manning expressed serious concerns about the development.
“I have ordered an investigation into the matter, and I would like to understand how this thing has come about. “I just don’t understand it, and that’s what I am awaiting.” Meanwhile, Government did not heed a call by Diego Martin West MP, Dr Keith Rowley, to table and approve a Validation Bill in Parliament yesterday to save the work of the commission. Rowley made the call on Sunday.
You would have though being
You would have though being baffled would be second nature to him by now!!

There must be a lot of money to waste in that oil rich country.

People are wondering Mr
People are wondering Mr Prime Minister if this stoppage of the probe wasn't orchestrated from very high up in the administration.People are wondering why is the Prime Minister still defending Mr Hart after all the evidence that has reached the Public Domain.People are wondering why the DPP and the Police Commissioner would not move to find out if Mr Hart has any thing to answer.The facts are - a company was awarded a multimillion dollar contract.It was alleged that the directors were linked to Mr Hart.This is a simple case for the DPP and the Commmissioner.Why are they not moving? . Many do not want to admit that we have a dictatorship in Trinidad and Tobago

yes, Yes, YES!
We want a Commission of Enquiry to probe why the Commission of Enquiry failed. Give the lawyers a chance to earn dey retirement money!!

The Great Pretender:- Please
The Great Pretender:-
Please Mr. Manning don't underestimate the intelligence of our people. Mr. Manning is the Government and the Government is Mr. Manning. So who are you going to investigate: Where will this investigation start and where will it end?
You say you 'don't understand it'. Well how do you thing we, the innocent citizens feel about this entire screw-up.
Dr. Rowley put forward a reasonable suggestion, why did you not take him up on this ... it might have saved the Inquiry from collapse. You have spent us dry, and the time and money invested so far in this Inquiry is not loose change on the floor Mr. Emperor.
...playing dead to catch
...playing dead to catch corbeaux......
Tell us who will be getting
Tell us who will be getting a salary increase or diplomatic posting for orchestrating this "mess up" at this critical time of the Uff Commission?
Loyal soldiers of Mr Big are all hard at work I guess.
Manning baffled????...yea
Manning baffled????...yea right and my name is Queen Elizabeth
Hope to see you at the next
Hope to see you at the next Summit Ms Elizabeth...
What I would like to know
What I would like to know is...
This follows failure of the Government to publish in the Gazette notification of the inquiry.
Why should non-'notification' of the inquiry in the Gazette cause the enquiry to collapse? It is not as if any interested parties would failed to know about about the enquiry (other than Rip Van Winkle) as it was announced and reported on in other media forms.
Is anyone going to be held accountable for this, if this is a vital part of proceedings? (rhetorical question)
La Diva
Manning you are the cause
Manning you are the cause for the collapse and the cause for the crime and all the criminals in the government, but then Manning is the biggest criminal in the government.
Don’t worry people your PNM brain child manning will be the cause for the collapse of Trinidad and Tobago, but then he full he pocket and hook up the boys and girls, so let’s see the public be baffled when it happens, and your children have to deal with it.

What really going on in this
What really going on in this place, Trinidad??
Manning stop pissing on the
Manning stop pissing on the citizen's back and tell them it's raining.
As we are it, why don't we
As we are it, why don't we extend the terms of the Commission of Enquiry to look into what it is that Hart has on Manning. Btw, has the AG come up with any valid suggestion how to save the COE? Or is he still busy working on the remit to advise Hazel whether the Chaguanas Boriugh could accept Jack's money to pay their workers? Much ado about nothing, as Shakespeare would have written. Manning missed his calling, he would make Paul Keens-Douglas look like an amateur!
Manning don't understand how
Manning don't understand how this could happen. I don't understand how black people could still vote for the PNM especially the dotish ones in Laventille and Morvant. Eric Williams more than 40 years ago use to tie an ugly scarf around his neck and go up on the hill and talk down to the fools while they passing him with pipe borne water on their heads. Williams dead and buried and they still toting water. Yet the fools continue to vote PNM. They like it so. Black folks says the other party was more corrupt. Yet the PNM had more years in power to be corrupt. The other party might have been more openly corrupt but at least they were competent. They all corrupt and if you accept that premise then you must ask yourself this question. Do you prefer a corrupt and incompetent government or a corrupt and competent one. In the end it still comes down to race in Trinidad and Tobago. We like it so.
