FORMER national security minister Gary Griffith says Tobago Chief Secretary Farley Augustine cannot be a member of the National Security Council (NSC) which is chaired by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
He made this comment in response to a call by Augustine that the THA chief secretary should be a member of the NSC, in relation to the installation of a US military radar at the Arthur NR International Airport at Crown Point last month. Augustine made this call during a Tobago People's Party (TPP) rally in Scarborough on December 1.
Griffith served as national security minister and national security adviser to the prime minister at different times during Persad-Bissessar's first administration (May 24, 2010- September 7, 2015). He is also a former captain in the TT Regiment and a former police commissioner.
