As Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley prepares to leave office, his final acts are under intense public scrutiny. From major infrastructure projects to legislative decisions, his administration is marking the “practical completion” of key initiatives across various sectors.
On Monday, Rowley commissioned the Port-of-Spain General Hospital’s Central Block—a 540-bed facility built at a cost $1.3 billion. This is one of two major projects he pledged to complete before stepping down, with the new ANR Robinson International Airport terminal set to be his final act on Saturday, just one day before his resignation takes effect.
During the commissioning of Lisa Morris-Julian Boulevard on February 26, Rowley outlined his last days in office, intertwining the late D’Abadie/O’Meara MP’s legacy with his own. Acknowledging the ongoing demands of governance, he admitted: “Planning and executing national projects is like a conveyor belt that is loaded and operating because as fast as you take off what comes to you at the end of the belt, another one appears.”
