However he wondered if the action to sue four former directors of the Ken Julien led board of Evolving Tecknologies and Enterprise Development Company Ltd (eTecK) was fair.

The opposition leader suggested that the move by Attorney General Anand Ramlogan is an attempt to undermine the authority of the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Roger Gaspard.
"What concerns me is the development where a political zealot in the form of the Attorney General who has appointed himself chief investigator and chief prosecutor in this country. It brings into question the role of the Integrity Commission and the role of the DPP," Rowley told the Trinidad Express.
He said it appears that Ramlogan is using civil constitution procedures to prosecute persons of his choice.
He also accused the AG of double standards by suing members of a former PNM board for making a bad investment decision while exonerating the current NP board over a tenders issue for a $40 million fuel transportation contract.

"I am not sure that this is the role of the Attorney General. I do not know that the Attorney General is supposed to be any investigator or any prosecutor, we have arrangements in place for investigations for prosecutions and for violations of the integrity requirements," Rowley told the paper.
"I am not in any way speaking in defence of any one...I do not trust the Attorney General of Trinidad and Tobago, I think he's a political zealot whose judgment is governed by politics more than anything else that he does so I will await the development and outcome of these matters," the opposition leader added.

Would the Integrity Commission act against white coat gangsterism?
"There are Trinbagonian Cuba-Trained Doctors who have graduated from Cuban Universities recognised by the Accreditation Council of Trinidad and Tobago before UWI was recognised. These Trinbagonian doctors speak English, Spanish and "Trini", served 1 year internships in both Cuba and in T&T, were graded "A" on the job, and were accepted for House Officer Doctor positions by Regional Health Authorities. Yet these
Trinbagonian Cuba-Trained Doctors are experiencing hardships, due to harsh, oppressive, and discriminatory denial of access to work by the Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago.
These Cuban-trained Trinbagonian Doctors are being robbed of their jobs, and the people of T&T are being robbed of their free services in public hospitals. Why does the Minister of Health condone this gangsterism?

Would the Integrity Commission act against white coat racketeering?
The MBTT is blocking Cuban doctors and Cuban-trained Trinbagonian doctors from work, to maintain the shortage of doctors in T&T public hospitals, so as to funnel patients into private hospitals, where they
can be bled of their money. Isn't that racketeering? The Minister of Health knows that she can have the urgently needed 275 doctors, 2,517 nurses and 161 pharmacists, in public hospitals on short notice
from Cuba, yet she is supporting the MBTT racket, and parroting the lie (that Cuban doctors do not speak English) started by private hospital individuals.
Is the tail wagging the dog? Is the Minister of Health slave to a gang of racketeers?
