Gonzales calls for criminal probe

Opposition MP Marvin Gonzales has called for a criminal investigation into former Telecommunications Services of Trinidad and Tobago (TSTT) chief executive officer Keino Cox and anyone else implicated in alleged corruption at the State-controlled company.

Gonzales also called for the removal of TSTT director Randy Ramtahal pending an investigation into his alleged involvement in a $49 million sole-select contract awarded to Hummingbird Holdings Ltd.

Speaking in the House of Representatives yesterday as he piloted a private motion on the governance of State enterprises and State-controlled institutions, Gonzales cited findings from what he described as an independent investigation into TSTT, which he said would “shock” the country.
