Is Kamla Covering Corruption???



Despite damning evidence to the contrary, PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar said recently that not enough information has been obtained to condemn Sasha Mohammed for allegedly issuing a threatening email to Express editor-in-chief Omatie Lyder and reporter Anna Ramdass.

On June 17, police issued Mohammed a warning after a probe uncovered that the e-mail originated from her home computer.

Lady PM – how can you allow this to happen under your nose?

Better still, Kamla defended the ever-more-disgraceful Jack Warner with the same logic saying, "People are asking what is the difference with Mary King and Sasha Mohammed and Jack Warner. The difference is with Mary King that information was within our reach, we could find it, it was in our jurisdiction and we got statements and got the evidence but with respect to Warner and Mohammed it is not in reach of our knowledge.”

It would seem to me that local police evidence is within the PM’s reach, would it not?

The FIFA ethics committee found “comprehensive, convincing and overwhelming evidence” that Jack initiated and arranged a special meeting of the CFU member associations for Mr. Bin Hammam where he handed each of the member associations an envelope containing 40,000 dollars.

Do you not trust an international governing body, Lady PM? Are you unable to use your seat of power to investigate FIFA’s allegations here in TT? Does the international community and integrity mean anything to you?

Breathe deep, people. We at Cartel Watch have smelled this before. It’s the stench of corruption that shadows Jack, Sasha and based on her recent response, perhaps even Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

Jack Say It Ain't So



Earlier today, Jack Warner, prominent businessman, self-proclaimed statesman of Trinidad and Tobago, and current Minister of Public Works, resigned in disgrace as FIFA Vice President after weeks of formal investigations, promises of transparency and global speculation. This is a story the Cartel Watch team has been following for years.

Could all these times you have been denying corruption be more lies.

With such allegations of corruption swirling around bribes, ticket sales, and vote buying, does this mean your involvement in the Prime Minister’s election wasn’t on the up and up? Were you involved bribery and corruption in current Trinidad politics as Minister? As a party leader? Was there vote buying last year during our good Prime Minister Kamla’s election? Was any of this corrupt FIFA money used for election purposes?

Cartel Watch demands a suspension of your credentials in Parliament, as the Minister of Public Works and in all your current political involvement. We also are eager for an immediate investigation by the DPP into these new allegations?
