Rowley wants ‘transparent’ deal on CL Financial assets

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad - Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley yesterday warned Government against any “under the table” deals in any disposal of assets within the CL Financial portfolio.
“Such disposal should be done openly and transparently, getting the best price on the open market,” he said. “It must stand full public scrutiny,” he declared.
“We are aware that there are initiatives in place to cherrypick certain assets and such interests are prepared to pander to the Government so that the Government would initiate one of its outrageous decisions which would result in the loss of public assets,” he claimed. “I refer specifically to the Angostura shares,” he added.
