Young warns of energy sector collapse; blames Govt for Proman job losses

For­mer En­er­gy Min­is­ter and Port-o- Spain North/St Ann’s West MP Stu­art Young is ac­cus­ing the Gov­ern­ment of pre­sid­ing over the col­lapse of Trinidad and To­ba­go’s en­er­gy sec­tor amid mount­ing un­cer­tain­ty over ma­jor in­dus­tri­al op­er­a­tions and job loss­es at Pro­man.

In a Face­book video on Sat­ur­day, Young blamed the Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar ad­min­is­tra­tion and the Na­tion­al Gas Com­pa­ny’s (NGC) lead­er­ship for what he de­scribed as a fail­ure to ne­go­ti­ate crit­i­cal com­mer­cial terms, warn­ing that the con­se­quences are be­ing felt by work­ers, busi­ness­es and the wider econ­o­my.

“Kam­la’s kak­istoc­ra­cy strikes again. They are de­stroy­ing our en­er­gy sec­tor and the econ­o­my of Trinidad and To­ba­go,” Young charged.
