COP chairman Joseph Toney presumably stunned reporters yesterday with news that he has discovered time travel.
Toney was recently handed a legal brief for the CLICO Commission of Enquiry by Finance Minister Larry Howai in what COP Leader Prakash Ramadhar described as a fair move. It only required the allegedly baseless sacking of the former legal team and a massive cost for taxpayers to pull it off.
However, Toney was at pains to stress that his boss was actually not Howai but former Finance Minister Karen Nunez-Tesheira although she was kicked out of Cabinet two years ago with the change in administration.
“I want to make the point I am representing the Ministry of Finance,” Toney told the Trinidad Express. “I am not representing the present Ministry of Finance I shall be representing the Ministry of Finance which was in office at the time in office of the Clico/HCU fiascoes. So it is not to say that I will be representing the government of the day.”
Mr Live Wire is glad that the COP chairman cleared that up although meetings with his boss, Nunez-Tesheira, on CLICO matter are likely to be awkward as she has no staff members present to whip up a cup of coffee.
Wired868 cannot confirm news that CLICO shareholders are happy with the State’s change of lawyers on one condition. They want Nunez-Tesheira to be the sole signatory on all of Toney’s cheques.

Mr. Live Wire is an avid news reader who translates media reports for persons who can handle the truth. And satire. Unlike Jack Nicholson, he rarely yells.
