Rowley loses credibility
Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley, during his motion of no confidence last year against the People’s Partnership Government and the Prime Minister, disclosed the contents of 31 “e-mails” purporting to be exchanges between Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan, Minister of Local Government Surujrattan Rambachan and then National Security Adviser to the Prime Minister Gary Griffith.
The e-mails described a situation where these high office holders were engaged in efforts to undermine the judiciary, the DPP and the media.
During the same period, the opposition leader met with the chairman of the integrity commission Mr Ken Gordon supposedly to discuss these emails.
Immense pressure was then placed on Mr Gordon to resign because of the manner in which the meeting took place.
This matter was so sensationalised to the public that had the government officials been proven guilty by information released by google, then we all would have voted against this government in the next general elections. The reason being that the majority of people who would decide the next general election all use and understand how e-mails work.
This situation makes the opposition leader lose all credibility.
