Trinidad & Tobago: Arresting developments

Categories: Caribbean, Trinidad & Tobago

Christopher Yee Mon scoffs [1] at the claim by Trinidad & Tobago's Opposition leader Basdeo Panday that members of his own party were treated more harshly when warrants were obtained for their arrest than members of the ruling PNM. Mr. Panday, who was slapped with a corruption charge in 2005, made these statements in the wake of the charging of Trinidad & Tobago's Minister of Energy [2] with “corruptly receiving” TT$75,000 (approx. US$12,000).
