PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Express- Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley is calling for the removal of Senior Superintendent Surajdeen Persad as a director of the National Intelligence Agency (NIA).
"It is quite unacceptable that a police officer could have behaved in the way that he did, with respect to what has been exposed in the public domain—where he was listing persons within the security agency whom he believed were supporters of a political party," Rowley said in a telephone interview yesterday.
"It is also quite unacceptable that he should find himself personally advanced, as a result of his own conduct, to lead an agency where he has taken political positions on matters of intelligence gathering.
