The People’s Partnership Government yesterday imposed the ultimate sanction on Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley for taking email transcripts to Parliament without waiting for authentication by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service or the Integrity Commission.
And the People’s Partnership, whose charge was led by Leader of Government Business Dr Roodal Moonilal and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, imposed its vengeance without waiting for authentication regarding the accuracy of those emails by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service or the Integrity Commission.

In the words of self-declared US asylum seeker, Nikki Minaj: Let that soak in, like seasoning.
“(The Parliament) is the domain where we must look at the evidence that has come to the fore, not to wait for the police.”
You might think that was a desperate statement from Rowley to justify his decision to circumvent a police investigation and take a stack of emails to Parliament. But you would be wrong.
That statement was made by Moonilal to justify his decision to circumvent a police investigation to suspend Rowley for circumventing a police investigation.
This is not a fete in here, as David Rudder once poignantly explained, this is madness.
Persad-Bissessar explained that, although the Parliament supported freedom of speech, that freedom ‘must be regulated and should have a foundation of evidence.’
You might be thinking that the Prime Minister was referring to Tobago East MP Vernella Alleyne-Toppin’s scripted and repulsive attack on Rowley, which was the headline act of Persad-Bissessar’s own no-confidence motion.
If you did, please try and keep up.
Yesterday, Moonilal slammed Rowley for supposedly desecrating Parliament with “unsubstantiated allegations” that spoke to high crimes and misbehaviour in public office by senior public officials.
Moonilal then hinted, without substantiation, that Rowley had put missiles and cocaine in the water tank of a former minister.
“If you lie, you must also say goodbye,” said Moonilal, in his best Reverend Al Sharpton prose.
Yet, it is Rowley alone who will have to take his leave. Clearly, there are no mirrors in Parliament.
As the People’s Partnership enters its last month, Persad-Bissessar and her touted “rat pack” are treating Parliament in the same manner that reckless youths treat a rental vehicle. And, of course, MPs don’t have to put up a security deposit when they take the wheel in Trinidad and Tobago.
On Sunday, an unnamed mechanic took a TT$1 million dollar Nissan GTR for a joyride and totally destroyed it in a crash. The “supercar” was a gift by businessman Imtiaz Edoo for his son, who has had to ‘make do’ with a Range Rover since the accident.
“He (the mechanic) said he knows he is responsible and that he messed up big time,” Edoo told the Trinidad Express. “I asked him to sign a disclosure stating that he is responsible and that he is willing to take full responsibility of trying to repay me something. He signed it without any apprehension… but as everything else, you could always find some way that you don’t have to pay…
“It was just a ridiculous situation… I won’t give him any other jobs again.”
Methinks a sizeable portion of the Trinidad and Tobago electorate knows exactly how Edoo feels. And we don’t even have a Range Rover as consolation.

I totally agree with you, people in glass houses should not throw stones. You left out the red house, it became totally dilapidated before it can be refurbished. I agree that the PP government had some missteps, but what the PNM have done is far worse, diehard PNM calling for election, who says it will be in their favor, I guess we will wait and watch
Omg, could not believe the list was so long. People have short memories, they are so quick to jump on the bandwagon to bring down this government, if this happens I hope they can take it
People??? Love country.

what about THA audits…2002 to 2006??
Justice delayed is justice denied.Well done Kamla.
Up to now I haven’t seen any justification of the opposition leader and his party concerning their actions yet…Most people studying what happened in the past that was already dealt with and moved on…Mr ROWLEY made a presentation in parliament against the ministers of a serious nature of concern without proper facts or proof. When there are questions imposed to him to justify his actions, he ran out of parliament. .The opposition is obligated to disagree but it is their duty to oppose respectfully. …This is a matter of concern to the public because it’s a serious one. ..How can a leader of our country fail to firmly stand his ground and deal with a matter he started. ..Total weakness. ..Then he wants to baffle the public with ABC excuses. The ppl are not stupid
Face looking like Rum self can’t wait to vote them out
Good read you should bring out a news paper or better yet try calypso
everyone of u people fooling yourselves no one, government or private would countinue to wait while having in their possession documents from no less a group than the u. s. justice dept. that these things don’t exist. note i did not refer to them as emails
The PP Gov’t has been taking full advantage of all the loopholes in Parliament and the Constitution while citizens remain dumb and dumbfounded. What helplessness !
Now wondering what %$%$ President allyuh talking about? He’s a frigging joke and just another eat ah food shithong. Look i cyah afford to raise meh blood pressure nah.
we have a President?
#PresManAgain
The only thing Lord Pussyfoot overseeing is Lady Pussyfoot tan belt!
He too busy enjoying he state housing and state housing allowance to be bothered with that right now Rhoda.
Has the President, the person with oversight of the Constitution, weighed in on Dr Rowley’s suspension yet?
yep ravi!
Yuh sure Vishwanath?
mon sept 14th folks!!
Isn’t she the same Prime Minister that never takes action against her Ministers until after the completion of a full investigation? Eg. Room 201 and Lifesport to name a couple.
Millions of dollars was spent to prove that Rowley was talking crap as usual. Members of parliament must be held responsible for what they say. He tried to destroy reputations and tarnish this country with random shit with no evidence. Influencing so many perceptions with rubbish. Rowley needs to have a sense of personal and social responsibility. Have so class and professionalism.
Call elections now
KAMLIAR IS ON A GUILT TRIP. IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE TRUTH COMES TO LIGHT. REMEMBER SHE SAID THAT THE TTPS FOUND NO BUG IN THE DPP’S OFFICE? HOWEVER,SHE DIDN’T TELL US THAT ANOTHER DEVICE WAS FOUND IN THE CONFERENCE ROOM. THIS WAS ONE OF THE REVELATIONS IN THE EMAILS,WHICH SHE SAID WERE FAKE. IT’S EASY TO FORGET A LIE,BUT THE TRUTH PREVAILS FOREVER. GREAT IS THE PNM AND WE SHALL PREVAIL.
The bible said DAT the wise will b lead by the fools whatever d party
How dat face looking flush so/ Ah wonda….
It looks like she made a deal with the man below
that’s moonilal!
Who say call election now.Me me me me.
I have said that many times this year, Debbie! I do not believe there will be an election. I propose if no date is set by the end of June 2015 that the Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago express voices of ‘NO CONFIDENCE in the government’. Have nightly meetings in Woodford Square, San Fernando and Scarborough to drive the message of no confidence home. But I hope that my feelings are wrong.
Debbie, girl im hoping you’re wrong inno
Give it up. They are NOT calling elections at all. Not now or not September. I’m placing a wager they will do all within their power not to hold another General Election in this Country. For all our sakes i hope i’m wrong. May God help us.
wait,time will tell…..
Remember what you sow u will reap
Kamliar is a damn dictator
One day one day Congo Tay
Its not kamla its the cabal
Kalmar is an adult she could make her own decision
She likes n enjoy what she is doing to Dr Keith Rowley. But one day one day when God get ready she got to move
People know your constitution and rules of the parliament. Parliament is the highest court in the land for the PM and ministers. Reason MPs or the PM could send whatever to the IC or the police for investigation when it is read in parliament. If it is still being investigated how could the PM, Moonilal, former AG et al investigate themselves. Go get educated people, go read the hanshard and the constitution. Dr. Rowley over and over keep asking for an investigation into the emails, he never ever accused anyone, but as my grandmother always said, a guilty conscience needs no accusal. If their hands are so clean why all the investigation by themselves let the appropriate authorities do their jobs and they should stop lying to the citizens. They have and are compromising the investigation and they know exactly what they are doing and set out to do. Every time the government say they are vindicated from the emails, the police and IC comes out and deny their claims and embarrass them, don’t they think it’s time to stop getting embarrass. If they are so clean they should be sitting back and laughing and not peeping around every corner to get a piece of paper to wave in the faces of the citizens.
well they might be writing their epitaph on their own tombstone,this is not going away just like that,and the ppp ,has abused parliament ,the best out come is to call elections and let the people decide
Kamla, yuh have no shame, dats why yuh could continue yuh disgusting display in Parliament, yuh hug up Jack when the country tell yuh he corrupt, yuh say lets move on when de nation realised dat yuh hired yuh liming pardner Reshmi Ramnarine to head the spy unit, the same clerk who was instrumental in feeding you information from the unit before you became Prime Minister, padded her resume to fool de nation, yuh gave a multi-million contract to yuh friend whose home you stayed at for eight weeks after your elevation to Prime Minister, yuh was forced to cancel it, yuh solicitor general write yuh a Confidential letter tellin yuh that some ting sinister was taking place in yuh Ag’s office and she feared for her safety, she was thrown under the bus by you with yuh response which was to give said letter to the AG, the person whom the solicitor general was fearful of, eventually yuh was forced to fire that snake if a AG, yuh fire Ramadharsingh yet yuh give him work in another Government department, send him to foreign land to represent while he still under a long running investigation, yuh coddle Anil Roberts after everybody asked for him to resign after he was seen on video rolling **** in room 201 in the company of foreign *****, you alone could not make him out, yuh is a completely corrupt woman, now yuh illegally expel Dr Keith Rowley from the Parliament in order to complete yuh dutty agenda, making sure that the evidence against yuh Finance Minister will not be heard in Parliament but as the good Doctor say” Yuh could run, We go run yuh down, yuh could hide, we go dig yuh out, yuh could cry, yuh go have to wipe yuh own tears “
@Ann Morris the same man the serial liar now hugging up the serial opportunist Jack Warner.Birds of a feather really do flock together.
Stupppppppppesssss……
What filth is this?
Well she should get the same treatment then
Clearly from the arguments above we know who voting for who and who dont give a damn about corruption, morality, decency or integrity.
Kendall Tull, here are your answers:
So Parliament is above the rule of law and can punish you for being guilty without the benefit of the Police and DPP? IN THE 10th PARLIAMENT? OBVIOUSLY, YES!
Is it proper for the Parliament to pronounce on a matter that is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the institutions charged with that responsibility? DITTO.
Did they reveal the evidence that purportedly prove that the emails were false for the benefit of the accused to review as is required in a court of law? EMPHATICALLY NO!
Any more questions or can we take the popular vote now and get rid of these crooks?
Ehy some poeple dont seem to understand why rowely was suspended.he had a lot to answer for which he failed to do.
False statements.emails etc
But everyone is entitled to say what they want.
Lol clearly you’ve been listening to a different parliament station
Every dog have their day. Even pothounds.
What they know about honesty??
Responsibility in parliament must be preserved otherwise, people who should know better will make comments that they know are wrong, will influence the laypeople and will change the course of history. Rowley was irresponsible when he made those comments… while he may have trusted his source… history will show that he was wrong to do so. Anyone can alter an e-mail and fabricate a new message and he may have been conned by one of his followers…. let us not fool ourselves… he should have known better
It all began with Granny Quilla, but of course, no one wanted to believe!
Thought i’d seen and heard it all from this government but like the party now start. They are so desperate it’s scary. One wonders who’s next. This is real madness.
Watch for a possible replacement in the PNM. Indian sword don’t break only bend….
Weird stuff.
The Google info shows no information was provided.
This headline got it all wrong, he was censured for the lies accusing the Prime Minister and other Ministers of a conspiracy to commit murder, anyone who can’t see how serious this was better take their heads out of the sand.
The pm kill dana.go check ur facts.and see why they fire rowely .and check how much billions the pnm wasted with motting to show for it
400 million and a lot of Dead Bodies Life Sport UNC, 60 million disappear and wired to banks in Guyana and Dubi UNC Government tried to hide it, 400million spent by the Ex Attorney General, 34million given to a man who did nothing UNC, 512 million secret Deal to Chinese Contractor……This Fascist PP Government has gone mad and its supporters are defending High Corruption. This is happening before our very Eyes and we are defending this? Betrayal to the Highest Order by this Fascist PP/UNC Government.

Kirk Rodriguez-Seijas I can see that English and reading is not one of your better subjects. Dr Rowley never ever accused anyone go to the Hanshard, when he read the emails all he asked for was an investigation into the emails. So everyone who asked for an investigation into a situation is guilty. Then we have a hell of a lot of guilty people in T&T, including the citizens of T&T who wants Dana Seetahal murder investigated. Why don’t the government await the IC and police results of their investigation, they know exactly what they are doing. compromising the investigation. So get your facts straight.
Pundit Mehindra Rambally Maharaj the PM and her cronies are all sitting in all the buildings the PNM built, including the Admin building in San Fernando that she has put an office into, having people laughing because first time in the history of the world a PM has an office in a hospital. All their children is taking in the free UWI education that the PNM decided to give and I can go on and on.
Pundit Mehindra Rambally Maharaj, if your head wasn’t so far up your a**hole you’d be able to see where those billions were spent.
Jacqueline Benjamin, maybe English and Reading is not one of my better subjects, but at least I am not blinded by the PNM propaganda that seems to be obscuring you thinking, not surprised because all the PNM supporters like yourself ever say is ” Ah born ah PNM, ah go dead ah PNM, PNM till ah dead ‘ without ever seeing the other side, ‘ Poor Dr. Rowley, Mr. Innocent ‘ way to go Madam Prime Minister.
You’ve just justified everyone’s claims as to how you surely cannot read with your totally irrelevant comments. Clearly the person clouded by party politics are you kirk since you don’t understand simple logic that a man seeking answers to an email is not accusing anyone of anything how much simpler can I say it and I’m sure you still wouldn’t understand that
Jacqueline Benjamin what in heaven and earth are you all trying to defend the fact that he did not leave it there in Parliament and went outside on a platform to repeat it again adding to the accusation that the government was spying on the DPP and also try to bribe him by offering him the position of judge on the bench while bugs were planted in his office.All of this this serial liar put out their in the public and still there is a defence. As far as I see you all care for Rowely more than he care you. His plan was to bring down the government and did not care one hoot about the safety of the journalist who the emails claim life was in danger.
Ok – the MS report shows some activity in 2013 but the Google data not showing anything.
