COMING onstage to Bob Marley's song, War, Laventille West MP Kareem Marcelle promised that the government would now face "war" over its halting of Cepep contracts.

He said a PNM legal team would go to court on July 18 seeking an injunction to halt the firing of Cepep workers and termination of contractors' contracts, at a PNM rally at Beetham Community Centre, Port of Spain, on July 10, chaired by Port of Spain deputy mayor Abena Hartley.

Saying "Beetham Gardens raised me," Marcelle said he had many uncles, aunts, friends and neighbours who were Cepep workers, so he knew how the sudden mass loss of jobs felt.
