ALMOST a month after he warned the nation to “expect six months of terror, torture, lies, frivolity and persecution” under the UNC government, Opposition Senator Faris Al-Rawi is now predicting mass firings of Cepep and URP workers.

Speaking at Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles’ first press conference at the Office of the Opposition Leader on Charles Street, Port of Spain on June 3, Al-Rawi – the former San Fernando West MP – vowed to strongly oppose any defaming of public officials, many whom he claimed have adopted a fearful silence since the UNC took office after the April 28 general election.

Al-Rawi claimed that under the UNC government, public servants are afraid to speak.
