Beloved
Faris Al-Rawi was in a fighting mood last Monday. He was not afraid to outline the depths to which we, as a people, had descended. Calling on the Opposition to support the Evidence Amendment Bill to deal with the “monsters” who had committed a heinous act against Andrea Bharatt, he declared: “Today, we have an opportunity… to stop monsters.”
Ascending to rhetorical heights, he chastised citizens who were trying to salvage a sliver of their humanity by speaking out against an inhuman strain that had arisen in our society:
“The crocodile tears on a pavement after a tragedy do not help people of T&T….[who] wrestle on a daily basis with monsters…who savage our children, our elderly, our loved ones. Today our country is engaged in a reactionary, though periodical, cycle of coming out of our traditional caves and making a cry and plea for a better society.”
Tancoo: NLCB operating like ‘runaway horse’
Public Accounts Committee chairman Davendranath Tancoo. -
Davendranath Tancoo, chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), says the NLCB (National Lotteries Control Board) is operating like a “runaway horse with no audit and accountability,” despite spending billions in recent years.
He was speaking at a virtual PAC meeting on Wednesday morning.
He said he “unfortunately” needed to reiterate certain issues as they are yet to be rectified.
They include an outstanding audited financial statement that was supposed to be sent to the auditor general since 2013.
In December 2019, he said, the NLCB was reminded of this and said it would be dealt with soon. But it still has not been sent.
