GEORGETOWN, Guyana - Following upon revelations emanating from the United States, casting a shadow over the career of Mr Jack Warner, popular politician, heavyweight Minister and close advisor to the Trinidad Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, that forced his resignation not only from his ministry but also from his chairmanship of the ruling People’s Partnership coalition, Trinidad & Tobago seems engulfed with yet another suddenly arising political contention.
This time, the occurrence has been spurred by Leader of the Opposition Keith Rowley, who has claimed, under the privilege of speaking in Parliament, to have received a series of e-mails apparently dispatched by the Prime Minister, her National Security Adviser, former army captain and subsequently political functionary, Gary Griffith, and Attorney General Anand Ramlogan purporting to undermine the integrity of the judiciary and the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
