Lawd...these people actually believe that everyone in this country is an imbecile

Yes!!! Probe with a two pronged probe and probe all his croonies, probe them untill they need help to walk, probe them untill they can see and hear clearly. Is anyone irreplaceable? If so then that's an insult to our educated citizens. It's insulting!!!If every last director in public office have to go then so be it, let all of them sit up straight and do their jobs honestly in fear of being probed also. Spare the probe and spoil the director/chairman. Gie them probe!!!!
But A A, no probe for the christians on the heights? Looks like the prober needs probeing too!!!
Lets just hope that after all the probeing that somebody goes to jail to be further probed and that our treasuary is replenished.

YUH IS A DAMN BLASTED LIAR!!! Yuh claiming that allyuh opened up an investigation last September and the PM was aware...but yet the PM and Colm (the) Imbersil strongly defended this man in Parliment a few weeks ago!! Does that make sense, yuh could come up with ah better lie than that!! Prove me wrong and bring everything out in the open..the mark done buss...print what you have in the papers for all to see!! Allyuh only trying to do damage control for dem blind PNM supporters, but if dey blind ah only hope dem eh def because the sounds they hearing is the PNM crumbling all aroung them!!!! And you opened up an investigation, but yet yuh have no idea what charges should be laid...stroke of genius aren't you? You also questioning the authenticity of the documents, here's a clue Mr Genius, ask the man why he RESIGNED AND RUN???? Need I say more??????

This is just a cover up for people to think that the great JJ was actually doing something constructive since he was brought back.

williams>> I refuse to make comments as to where are all these investigations would take us!! NO WHERE!!!! From the AG to the DPP--NADA,ZILCH!!PUFF!-- this corruption is inherent with the pnm thieves!!This is just a smokescreen & it would soon be under the rug!! Dik forde et al takes us for fools--Pathos has everything well oiled!! Remember what I said about that lying thief--Win David--she was going to be transferred & promoted--it came to pass my fellow contributors on this forum!!I was maligned by all except for OZZY who also saw the cover up by these thieves!!--she's now CEO POS City Corporation!!She did a Hollywood job on the population all contrived by Pathos to give him time to holler for 53 minutes like a RABID DOG!!!!We must however keep up the vigilance until Elections while the Unity/Amalgamation process takes place!!Speculation on this is now a mute point!!We hope that it pans out for the good of the Nation!!!

Some alternative and interesting articles please Guardian - this is getting BORING now. Yuh go lose some ah yuh 'support' just like dem T&T political parties yuh know!

Did Jeremiah launch this "investigation" while he was still "High Commissioner" in London? How could he launch an investigation while the UFF Commission was going on? What is the use of the COE?.

I don’t blame Hart for resigning. The man is a technocrat, not a politician. If I were in his shoes I would’ve resigned too because the opposition has turned technical and engineering matters into a political war, and UDeCOTT was the chosen battlefield.

Gaz you are right. Where are the pro PNM bloggers?,
CAPS Mikey where are you, cat get yr tongue now, 2 Left turned up with one line only.

Yes Gaz, someone told CH to skip the scene and DPP should ask the US authorities to keep tabs on CH. But TRinidad is much better off if he stays in Ft LAuderdale fighting alligators than in Trinidad,

Come on Trinidad public rise up and put a democratic challenge to this govt, we need them out now. we need a fresh govt but scared that with the civil service as is, UNC will go wrong, Need a changeout of civil servants in top positions also.

Let me see if I get this right? Investigations started in September but when center for performing arts opened weeks later, Manning praised Hart publicly? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Good morning fellow bloggers. If we are to assume that the DPP was being kept abreast of the findings of the forensic audit as is required by auditing standards and the DPP was convinced that the audit evidence would constitute criminal charges why did the DPP not move to seize his passport and by extension has the DPP contacted the US and Canadian authorities to monitor the movements of Caulder Hart and his wife?
Instead the DPP quietly confides in Patos who inturn immediately informes Hart to ketch the next flight out.
That would also incriminate Patos in aiding and abbetting a suspect or potential criminal to escape.

By the way where are our pro PNM bloggers, it looks like someone throw some epsomsalts (fellow blogger ) in their wound.
Thank you

All ah we chupid!

We put up with all ah dis crap knowing that bobol was going on.

Our leaders failed us - religious, political, business and legal. You can add a name or names to each area above.

Can you imagine the erection of a church - a once holy place - having to be abandoned?
Can you imagine so many politicians with actual and perceived corrupt hands in a country as small as T&T?
Can you imagine a business which affects the entire Caribbean being allowed to go belly-up without legal intervention on the part of the greedy businessmen?

All ah we chupid! We allowed "all ah we tief" regimes to govern our day to day lives.

We have not come too far not to be able to turn back...individually and collectively. We have to turn back to moral, civil and spiritual values that will push us forward without being led astray by verbosity and egotistical and myopic people who offer themselves as leaders.

God help us! I refer here to the God within each one of us especially those who are seen as being "they too bright!"

I have one question for all you blowhards.

Have any of you all ever investigated anything at all?

I don't want to get into being PNM or UNC or Indian or African thing, but as a fair minded Trinidadian, I am wondering why the investigations involving CJ Sat Sharma (who I think is guilty by association with a crook-Panday) and the corruption case against Basdeo Panday (whose credability/values/morals are the lowest of Human), were made so public to cause humilation, but Calder Hart (PM best Friend) was being investigated in Secret so as not to cause embarrasment to Hart and his best friend Manning. Minister Dick-Ford and the other Govermnent Minister (including PM) should all be investigated ..because isn't this called "aiding and abetting a criminal offence". Mr. Police Commissioner?

I really haven't read much about the AG recently regarding all this issue but this is no surprise due to the fact that the Prime Minister had replaced him as his advisor with the Reverent Juliana Pena (this also done in secrecy - thats the new government strategy now)

TriniDH

I have been reading your comments for quite a while now and am really impressed by most of them (except for those who use this as a platform to attack others instead of discussing ideas and issues). Congratulations on looking out for our collective national interest!

I only would like to add: How does the AG order a criminal investigation without so much as a hint of it to the Acting DPP back in September?

As for the church, dat is another story that time alone will tell!

Keep up your good work and I hope that some of you run for elections...I would vote for you!

Jeremie, I am going to be up in your "AR

you mean these people still have the brazen face to come up with something like this?

Who is Mr. Jeremie trying to fool? This is called damage control. I am so ashamed of this gov't that I do not want them to represent me in anything!! They should all resign fortwith and never offer themselves for office again. They are all self-righteous self-seekers and I predict that from Fadda, Karen, Colm, Big C, Cashew....they would all be annihilated at the next general election. In fact, I boldly predict that PNM will lose in Laventille at the next eneral election.

i am confused ??? ......

wasn't a certain govt minister in constant defence of calder hart ? ... it seems that she didn't even know that this criminal investigation was being conducted under her nose .... right in her OWN ministry ? ..... lindquist must have been requesting all kinda information from her ministry ... didn't she even ask him what he was doing ?

i remember last year, that same minister was extremely happy to announce ... lindquist was down here to investigate the cleaver heights project ... i know some bloggers would remember that ... that same project where dr. rowley .... "mis-calculated" $10M .... why hasn't john jeremie told the public what lindquist was REALLY doing here in september ? ... is he conveniently omitting the fact the linquidst was investigating cleaver heights in september ... to find information to "nail" dr. rowley and emile elias ? ....

why would the govt lead an investigation on someone that they have defended all the way ? ... and vociferously "supported" up to even yesterday !!.. a person that sits on the front row in the pnm convention .... a person that is said to be the great "builder" of our vision 2020 .... it seems illogical that the govt would have been investigating "ITSELF" of wrong doing to prove its "OWN CORRUPTION" ... it just don't make sense .... except for a govt with "SUICIDAL TENDENCIES" .. and therefore, i am confused ....

what does make sense however .... is maybe linquidst was given a "side project" ... apart from "nailing" rowley ... to get the evidence to PROVE CALDER HART WAS INNOCENT !!!! .... to gather evidence that everything was above board ... that no improper financial dealings were conducted ... to tell the population that their "MAIN MAN WAS SQUEAKY CLEAN" .... and they have the evidence to prove it !!! ... that makes more sense to me !!... it would be interesting to have read the lindquist report ..... i would not be schocked to have read that the report "EXONERATED CALDER HART" ... maybe, this was the real intention of the govt !!! ... but now, we will never know! ... as the report may now be sanitized ... to promote the GOVT's CURRENT POSITION .... to make calder hart the scapegoat to take the fall ... in order to protect the godfather .... who really ordered the "code red" ... !!!

"TRUTH ! TRUTH ! .... YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !!! "..
- a few good men

now you have something to think about ... hmmmmmmmmm

ozzy !!!!!

when integrity dpp order an investigation into hart, ag jeremie was saying, aie boy, doh touch dat, i have the investigation already, wink wink.
if gaspard dont proceed, that special ag probe not seeing the light of day.
on sunway, so on what basis did they get to work in tt, visa wise,
mr ag?

Mr. Jeremie ought to have begun this news conference with "Once upon a time". To claim that an "investigation" commenced in September 2009 is to suggest that the people of Trinidad and Tobago are a collective bunch of brain-dead morons. I fear that there may be a few.

He is asking us to believe that the investigative strategy adopted by the "imaginary detectives" hinged around allowing the contracts payments and work (involving millions of tax payers dollars)to continue while he waits on forensic evidence that could have been determined by a sixth form accounts student.

He is also asking us to believe that Hart's involvement in the "lighthouse of the lighting light" or whatever the name of that 30 million dollar church is in Guanapo, run by Mr. Manning's spiritual adviser was allowed to continue despite the "investigation". I guess she didn't "see" that coming.

People of Trinidad and Tobago I beseech you to take off your UNC and PNM indian black chinese Syrian and dougla hats and for a minute.....just a minute understand that the greatest piece political theatre is being played and we all have a front row seats.

There is not,however, going to be a happy ending.

We have been told by our illustrious Attorney General that, if any form of impropriety is unearthed, we are going to recoup all the monies that Mr. Hart has absconded and he will bring him back from wherever he resides. Having heard this, the name Johnny O'Halloran comes to mind.

So there we have it a secret investigation, a promise to plug the procedural loophole which the AG alluded to yesterday, suggesting that there were no procedures in place. Therefore this would make Mr. Hart ethically culpable but not criminally. But to have a tendering process involving contracts valued at millions of dollars and no conflict of interest clause indicates that the entire board and the government is not competent enough to manage a market stall.

So as we continue to sip the KOOL-AID remember fool me once...shame on you..... fool me twice.....more stadiums, performing arts centers, churches, flags, murders and STILL .....no water.
