While for­mer po­lice com­mis­sion­er Gary Grif­fith is op­ti­mistic about the per­for­mance of Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der and De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturge, he ques­tions the split in re­spon­si­bil­i­ties be­tween the two min­istries and the pro­posed Stand Your Ground leg­is­la­tion.

Speak­ing on CNC3’s The Morn­ing Brew on Tues­day, Grif­fith said he be­lieves in the lead­er­ship po­ten­tial of the new­ly ap­point­ed min­is­ters, adding that he doubts they could per­form worse than their pre­de­ces­sor.

“The on­ly way you could go is up. I think the worst min­is­ter in any min­istry in the his­to­ry of Trinidad and To­ba­go was Fitzger­ald Hinds,” Grif­fith said.
