Diego West motion on PM for General Council
Published: 11 Mar 2010
A no confidence motion against Prime Minister Patrick Manning now being formulated by PNM’s Diego Martin West constituency is expected to be taken to PNM’s General Council in two weeks, it has been confirmed. The motion was discussed at Monday’s meeting of the executive of Diego Martin West which is represented by former minister Keith Rowley. Jane Simon, elections officer of the executive, said: “We had a meeting and we discussed some relevant issues pertaining to the Government as party in Government would do and a motion was raised but these are internal things that should go through the process in the party before it reaches outside.” She declined details. Robert Cezair, who said he was authorised to speak for PNM’s Diego Martin West unit, said: “ I don’t know anything about any motion.”
Cezair added: “ Our meeting was closed and I’m not at liberty to disclose constituency business publicly. What transpired on Monday was normal constituency business. “We discussed current issues in the party. There was no decision to do anything. I don’t know anything about this motion talk.” A couple members of PNM’s Diego Martin West executive yesterday disassociated themselves from the motion yesterday. But another Diego Martin west executive official said the motion was to be dealt with internally before it is taken to PNM’s General Council. The next General Council meeting is on the afternoon of March 20. This would be preceded by another in PNM’s series of mobilisation conferences at Cascadia Hotel.
PNM’s other big event this month is its March 27 conference at Chaguaramas Convention Centre to mark the 100th birth anniversary of PNM founder Dr Eric Williams. PNM public relations officer Jerry Narace said yesterday he had not seen any motion. PNM chairman Conrad Enill did not reply to calls. Meanwhile, PNM Diego Martin Central chairman Dr Joe Laquis said his constituency was “not going to do things to please people who have personal vendettas.” Laquis added: “We’ll wait for the results of the Uff Commission on Udecott and other issues and if former Udecott head Calder Hart is vindicated, I may well ask my constituency to pass a motion calling for his reinstatement as Udecott head.”
Laquis said if Hart was implicated in anything, “then the DPP and acting Police Commissioner will do their job.” Laquis, who had headed the Laquetel communications outfit, had said last year that the Laquetel Building had been sold to someone who eventually sold it to Udecott. Laquis has maintained silence on the identity of the buyer who later sold it to Udecott. Laquis, who said he was friends with Hart, added yesterday: “Not good, good friends, but friends and I also know thousands of people.” He added: “PNM is 54 years old and we’ve been through worse situations than this. We’ll wait for the Uff Report which must show what has taken place...”
Play that role girl!!
Play that role girl!! -
Well said Kamla!
Too bad I don't believe you.
Only the most gullible setta idiots will fall for that.
What are the odds... days after a UNC meeting at the St. Michael's Parish Hall in Diego Martin comes the word that Diego Martin West constituency supporting a motion of no-confidence against the leader of the party... Keith Rowley's constituency. How come there is no news from Rowley on his position? Is it because no such position exists? A couple things you need to remember Kamla before trying to start that "tide"... In 50-something years, regardless of what kind of serious pressing issues, even rank corruption pre 1986, the PNM has never gone outside to discuss constituency plans. Senior members of the constituency have no clue about any such reports, yet you do! It is a well known fact, what happens in the PNM stays in the PNM. You are attempting to make the PNM resemble the UNC. In 40 years, Panday, together with your help couldn't do it, who is you? No one would accept that Kamla. The PNM is NOT like the UNC, you should know that by now. You are being grossly misled by the tide that swept you into your own exalted position. UNC culture has been known well before the advent of the UNC, going back to the ULF all the way to the DLP. Kuchur and infighting are not hallmarks of the PNM. Doh try dat nuh Kamla, come better, you possess degrees an ting... doh start talking only for idiots to take you seriously, the rest of us want to listen!! You taking up where Bas left off?
It's quite interesting that
It's quite interesting that so far this board remains empty and its 9.05 AM.I tells me that the sycophants are unable to digest this piece of action,because of the conjectural nature of their discourse.
I said on Sunday that the PNM would remove Patrick Manning.Was I wrong? No one in the PNM wants the party to go back into opposition,so that they will do whatever necessary to remain a force to be reconed with.
Apart from all the PR and excessive media bias,basically it is what the UNC is trying to do,get back into government and stay there.If Dr.Rowley is made leader,Kamla & Jack does not stand a chance.In the comming weeks,expect to see some more moves.In the past few weeks,the pendulum has swung too far.If Rowley is succesful his movements would be swift and deadly....,akin to throwing a lion in among a bunch of hyenas.
I hope that the PNM conduct
I hope that the PNM conduct themselves with the dignity that we are all used to and will not take part in the vulgar outpouring of venom spite and hate that we are used to in Trinbago.Let us not have the usual I will get there at any cost mentality.
Of course all the resentment against the Prime Minister will cloud the issue of wether this country has been cheated by the Hart or not.( It will also teach him teh art of who to support) Can we please have the UFF report. I read in one paper last week that Uff was just waiting to board the plane immediately the judgement was passed.
