ruption, graft and nepotism
had dogged the fiveyear
term of then prime
minister Kamla Persad-
Bisssessar, a development
she and other party
big wigs have acknowledged
through apologies
as the campaign heats
up in the oil and gas-rich
twin island republic with
Tobago.
In the current case
involving Ramlogan and
Ramdeen, the state is
contending that more
than US $200 million
in fees for legal briefs
as part of an elaborate
scheme by the AG’s office
and close associates to
cream off millions from
the state by overpaying
for services. Both Ramlogan
and Ramdeen have
vehemently denied the
charges but authorities
say they have more
than enough proof after
painstakingly investigating
the alleged scheme
in recent years. Trinidad
has a population of 1.3
million and is rich in
oil and gas. Successive
administrations have
been plagued by a culture
of either corruption
by officials or squandermania
of public funds.
The state says it did
not get value for money
and boast that Vincent
Nelson, a British attorney
of Jamaican heritage
who was retained
by the UNC on several
cases, has already
turned whistleblower /
main state witness and
will unload all he knows
when the trial starts in
the coming weeks. He
is being provided with
blanket security to
ensure he testifies and
will be allowed to leave
the island until officials
are ready for him.
Widespread and credible
allegations of corruption
have been cited as
the main reason why the
UNC lost the elections to
the Afro-supported People’s
National Movement.
(PNM). The PNM has
been taking stick from
the populace for some
political mistakes and
inabilities including difficulty
controlling a spiraling
murder rate that
has so far seen nearly 160
deaths so far this year but
polls are already showing
that it has received
a political bump up from
the arrests of two men
who are widely regarded
as incredibly arrogant
and cocky.
Investigators say
there is evidence that
the higher than usual
fees for legal briefs were
deliberately made to
leave enough money to
be divided up by those
involved. Current Attorney
General Faris Al
Rawi said investigators
and prosecutors will go
all the way. He is confident
of convictions
even as calls are being
made for Ramlogan to
be booted from the party
hierarchy. Ramdeen has
already quit as a UNC
opposition senator.
“Due process is
required and people
will have their say
in the respective forum
they must,” Al-Rawi told
Guardian Media. The
office of the AG has discharged
its duty on a host
of corruption matters
with alacrity and serious
complexity. We’ve provided
all that we must to the
police. What we did, is
that we did our jobs. We
did the respective investigative
aspects within
the boundaries we have.
We referred whatever
we had to refer in many
matter not just current
matters. We’ve referred
these products to the
respective authorities. I
expect those authorities
will be acting with the
same degree of anxious
alacrity that government
acts,” he said.
And in an interesting
development when the
two appeared in court
on Monday, Attorney
Pamela Elder asked the
court to deal with the
cases quickly as star witness
Nelson is stricken
with prostate cancer and
could die anytime soon.

Anand Ramlogan.
