So it was refreshing this week to see two former government ministers crossing political divides in order to serve the national interest. Karen Nunez-Tesheira, who was appointed this country’s first female finance minister in a PNM cabinet, on Monday lobbied the government to reverse its position on procurement laws during a UNC webinar. On the same day, Dr Emmanuel Hosein, a health minister in the 1986-1990 NAR government, appeared at the crease to bat for the covid19 vaccine at the Ministry of Health’s virtual press briefing alongside the PNM’s Terrence Deyalsingh. ....
