ENERGY MINISTER Dr Roodal Moonilal has described as “shocking and a shameful abuse of power “ a court’s finding against the refusal by the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries to release a confidential report on the death of Massy Energy pipefitter Allanlane Ramkissoon, who died in a fire at the NiQuan gas-to-liquids plant in 2023.

In a statement on June 7, Moonilal also slammed his predecessor, former minister Stuart Young for the position taken by the ministry.

Moonilal said, “NiQuan was opened by Keith Rowley and Stuart Young with great public celebration and fanfare. It was celebrated as a PNM milestone achievement in the energy sector.
