The Prime Minister has dismissed as ‘bacchanal,’ allegations that he interfered in the appointment of a Commissioner of Police.
Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has repeatedly called on the Prime Minister to say if he was the public official who stepped in, and met with the President on August 12th to derail the process.
But speaking during a vaccination drive in his Diego Martin West constituency on Saturday, Rowley said while he was a frequent visitor to President’s House he was not getting involved in that “bacchanal story.”
“I, unlike the last prime minister, I carry out my duty under the constitution. And that duty involves the oath of office I took and one of the things I’m required to do is to keep the President informed on the state of affairs in TT. So all the mischief-makers and the unmaskers and whoever else, they’re on their own with that. I keep the President informed, I keep the Cabinet informed, and I do my duty without fear or favour, malice or ill-will.”
