Ministers sue former colleague

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Local Government Minister Surij Rambachan has said he is taking legal action former national security minister Austin “Jack” Warner as the campaign winds down for Monday’s by-election in Trinidad and Tobago.
Rambachan said that Warner, who, according to the only published opinion poll here, is leading in the Changuanas West constituency, has been motivated by “personal spite and or ill will” in his attacks on him.
The Local Government and Works Minister contends that Warner, who had resigned his parliamentary seat in April occasioning the July 29 by-election, is blaming him for his removal from the Cabinet of Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar, who is heading a three-member coalition administration.
