Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley said Sunday his People's National Movement (PNM) will hold meetings across the country to inform party members of critical issues in the country, among them the CLICO controversy.
The party has already held meetings in La Brea, San Fernando and Arima and will head to Tacarigua Monday night; it goes to Tobago over the weekend.
Rowley told supporters Sunday they must learn the facts behind the CLICO bailout. He said he not suprised that the government could face legal action in the Clico affair.

"The way Dookeran, Mary King and Watson behaving, it's as though what the Cabinet say is law. It is not so, Government must abide by the law," Rowley said.
"You can't just get up and decide politically I am the boss. People today are more and more prepared to exercise their rights."
He said people must also hear why the government scrapped the contract for the billion dollar Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs).
"This Government has taken up a position where it tears up contracts of the previous government, they tear up the smelter contract, they tear up the CLICO contract and they tear up the OPV contract.
"Nobody seems to know when the OPV contract was cancelled. Subhas Panday told the press he does not know anything about this. We know Gary Griffith wanted the contracts cancelled and Sandy said he wanted them, so what's going on? Government has not said a word so far," he said.
So far government has not made an official announcement on the boats. Media stories on the cancellation of the order have been based on international reports on the matter, citing the suppliers, BAE.
