Cu­mu­to/Man­zanil­la Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment Dr Rai Rag­bir says while he has had no dis­cus­sions with the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) about se­cur­ing a po­si­tion with­in the par­ty, he re­mains open to serv­ing the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go in any ca­pac­i­ty, re­gard­less of po­lit­i­cal af­fil­i­a­tion.

“I have to talk to God and my fam­i­ly. I am fam­i­ly-ori­ent­ed and God-fear­ing,” Rag­bir shared.

Ques­tioned by re­porters af­ter he de­liv­ered re­marks fol­low­ing the sod-turn­ing cer­e­mo­ny for the Gua­napo/North Oropouche Wa­ter Treat­ment Plant, which would boost the wa­ter sup­ply to his con­stituents, Rag­bir was asked about his po­lit­i­cal fu­ture af­ter he bowed out of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress’ screen­ing process for the seat he now holds.
