Ramnarine: Appointment of energy minister critical to economy
Former Energy Minister Kevin Ramnarine -
FORMER energy minister Kevin Ramnarine said it is critical for the Prime Minister to name a new Minister of Energy over the next two days, as Trinidad and Tobago is still an oil and gas-dependent economy.
He said the shortfall in revenue and the fact that the two most important state enterprises. – Trinidad Petroleum Holding Co Ltd and the National Gas Company (NGC) – report to this ministry underscore its importance.
The perspective was shared by economist Dr Roger Hosein, who, along with Ramnarine, was commenting on the importance of filling this key ministry following the sudden death of Energy Minister Franklin Khan on Saturday.
