FORMER prime minister Dr Keith Rowley sounded a warning against the incoming UNC government over the threat of eventual national bankruptcy and its likely tolerance of public corruption. He was addressing reporters at Balisier House, Port of Spain, on April 30, having earlier announced his resignation as PNM leader.

Rowley said he was "very disappointed" at last Monday's general election result where the PNM's tally dropped from 22 to 13 seats and it lost government to the UNC coalition of interests.

"We accept the will of the electorate," he said. Rowley decried as "a whole lot of hogwash", the UNC's claims of the government trying to steal the election, and lamented their criticism, of the Election and Boundaries Commission (EBC).
