Minister Padarath Calls Out PNM’s ‘Trickery’ Over Workers’ Issues

In a fiery statement directed at the previous administration, Minister of Public Utilities Barry Shiva Padarath took aim at former Minister Marvin Gonzales, accusing him of deceitful practices. Padarath’s remarks came following a visit to WASA, where he addressed concerns over workers’ issues and government spending under the People’s National Movement (PNM).

Padarath criticized Gonzales for advising public workers to curb their expenses, labeling this advice as ‘trickery.’ He argued that while workers are encouraged to tighten their belts, substantial government funds are allegedly directed towards certain projects. Padarath highlighted what he describes as a major discrepancy between public spending and worker welfare, emphasizing the fraud being perpetrated on the people of Trinidad and Tobago.

The Minister vowed to address the unresolved grievances left by the previous administration, expressing a commitment to resolving workers’ issues. His comments underscore the political tensions surrounding public service and economic management in Trinidad and Tobago.

Padarath’s statement reflects growing frustration over the handling of public funds and worker rights, framing it as an issue of government accountability. With economic challenges looming, this debate over spending priorities and public welfare is set to continue as a significant political discourse in the nation.
