UPDATE:

OROPOUCHE East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal yesterday accused the Prime Minister of governing by stealth in his midnight appointment of Stuart Young to the National Security Ministry hot seat.

He added that the reshuffle was a clear signal that Dr Rowley had lost faith in Edmund Dillon as National Security Minister and it was further indication that the “failed” Keith Rowley regime continues to unravel.

“The fact that the reshuffle took place in the dead of a Sunday night and via social media, shows that no government minister can afford to sleep well at nights and that the prime minister is governing by stealth. “The prime minister’s decision to summon Minister Young to further ministerial duties is a strong indication that he has no viable options. Of vital note too, is that after three years and a parade of ministerial failures, Laventille East/Morvant representative Adrian Leonce has not been given a Cabinet position,” Moonilal said.

He added that Young’s appointment raises dark concerns about whether he would now seek to act on his previous threats to political opponents. Moonilal said Young was also assuming the portfolio after his “questionable role” in the scandal involving the underaged children of Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi who were photographed posing with high-powered weapons at a confined military site.

Moonilal said the “midnight Cabinet reshuffle will provide no comfort to an overwhelmed national community.”
