Roodal Moonilal is blaming the former People's national Movement (PNM) administration for the fall in Trinidad & Tobago's position in the index of the Transparency International.
Trinidad and Tobago has been ranked at 91 out of 183 on 2011 TI Corruption Perception Index. The index was complied based on data available to TI in 2009.
"We have also studied the perception index and can establish a direct link between this Government's work in uncovering and revealing many issues revolving around serious allegations of corruption by the former administration," Moonilal said on friday.
He named some of these contentious issues such as the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDeCOTT), the Clico and Hindu Credit Union matter, eTeck, Petrotrin, the sale of BWIA slots, University of Trinidad and Tobago (UTT), scholarship fund inequity and the purchase of three multi-million Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV's).
"This Government continues to unearth and unravel many issues causing great concern to us, and many times these issues will be fully ventilated in the public domain- and once such issues are mainstreamed, it becomes an issue of public perception- regardless of which administration would have been the perpetrators," said Moonilal.
He said the People's Partnership Government has been working to clean up the corruption, noting that the recommendations of the Uff Commission are being implemented.
