For­mer na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty min­is­ter Mar­vin Gon­za­les is call­ing on Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der to be trans­par­ent with the pub­lic and re­veal any ad­di­tion­al ev­i­dence in the po­lice chase and killing of Joshua Sama­roo if it ex­ists.

Re­spond­ing to Min­is­ter Alexan­der’s sug­ges­tion on Wednes­day that there may be ad­di­tion­al in­for­ma­tion the pub­lic isn’t privy to, Gon­za­les said noth­ing is stop­ping the min­is­ter from re­veal­ing the ev­i­dence, nor does he think it will af­fect the po­lice in­ves­ti­ga­tion.

Speak­ing dur­ing a Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment me­dia brief­ing at the Of­fice of the Op­po­si­tion in Port-of-Spain yes­ter­day, Gon­za­les said, “If you have in­for­ma­tion that paints a dif­fer­ent pic­ture, then show it. It will not un­der­mine the ev­i­dence. It will not un­der­mine the ad­min­is­tra­tion of jus­tice. It will not un­der­mine the in­tegri­ty of the in­ves­ti­ga­tion. You are play­ing smart with fool­ish­ness and you need to stop it.”
