Ot­to Car­ring­ton

For the first time since his res­ig­na­tion as prime min­is­ter, Dr Kei­th Row­ley has bro­ken his si­lence—ad­dress­ing the na­tion not as head of gov­ern­ment, but as po­lit­i­cal leader of the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM).

In a fiery re­turn to the stage at a po­lit­i­cal meet­ing at the Croisee, San Juan, Dr Row­ley de­fend­ed his ad­min­is­tra­tion’s strate­gic ef­forts in the en­er­gy sec­tor, ac­cus­ing the op­po­si­tion Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) of sab­o­tag­ing key na­tion­al de­vel­op­ment projects for po­lit­i­cal gain.
