Chief Secretary to meet with Prime Minister

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar will meet with THA Chief Secretary Orville London shortly to discuss a number of issues whose resolution could contribute to the promotion of harmony in the affairs of Trinidad and Tobago.

Chief Secretary Orville London

Following the January 21st THA election in which the People's National Movement won all 12 seats, London wrote Persad-Bissessar on January 29th requesting an urgent meeting to discuss at least three issues. These were a review of the process for the granting of internal self government to Tobago, a review of the relationship between Ministers of Government and Secretaries in the Tobago House of Assembly and funding for housing programmes in Tobago.

In her response dated January 31st Persad-Bissessar requested that his office liaise with her office to arrange a mutually convenient date and time for the meeting.

This will be the first official meeting between the two in almost a year. Section 31 of the THA Act says that the Prime Minister and the Chief Secretary shall hold regular discussions with a view to formulating administrative and legislative mechanisms for the promotion of harmony in the affairs of Trinidad and Tobago.

"Ashworth Jack is a PP Muppet"

Ashworth Jack, Leader of the
Tobago Organisation of the People

"Ashworth Jack will stop at nothing to lead the THA. His ego is much bigger than his house, village and Tobago. He has no track record of achievement. Being anti-THA is not a solution. Mr. London and his team have definitely moved Tobago forward. We need to have Tobago leadership for the THA. Ashworth Jack likes being a muppet. Ashworth is assuming he is going to be leader of THA. Let us keep Ashworth as a muppet. Vote to keep Ashworth as a muppet. PP go through him under the bus when he lose. Then PP looking for another muppet. Ashworth Jack not good for us on Tobago"

This was a response to an article carried by the Tobago News last week, where Tracy Davidson-Celestine put a severe tongue lashing on political leader of the TOP, Ashworth Jack.  In more ways than one, I believe that the person who goes by the name "Vote" may be right in some aspects, and grossly mistaken on the other hand   What do you think?
