Although mystery continues to surround the origin of alleged death threats issued to Defence Minister Wayne Sturge, at least two of his Cabinet colleagues have assured that this is not affecting his ability to perform his duties. This, despite his non-appearance in the last week.
Sidestepping questions from reporters as they emerged separately following a visit to the Port-of-Spain Magistrates’ Court on St Vincent Street yesterday, Justice Minister Devesh Maharaj and Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander urged the media to get answers from Sturge himself, on when and what threats had been made, the medium used to issue the threats, what security agency he reported it to and if increased security measures had been put in place for him and his family.
Both men also declined to confirm if they had increased their personal security, as well as that of close family members. While Maharaj indicated it’s being considered, Alexander declined to address the issue.
