ENERGY Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal said yesterday he is “shocked” that the former People’s National Movement (PNM) government made no effort to collaborate with countries within Caricom on energy cooperation.

The minister said in the coming days, he intends to make official communication with the government of Grenada regarding mutual collaboration in gas exploration.

Moonilal and Minister in the Ministry of Energy, La Brea MP Ernesto Kesar yesterday officially had their first day at work at the Energy Ministry, at the International Waterfront Complex, Port of Spain.
