En­er­gy Min­is­ter Dr Roodal Mooni­lal is ac­cus­ing for­mer prime min­is­ter Stu­art Young of at­tempt­ing to cre­ate “mis­chief” when he called on the Gov­ern­ment to fix what he de­scribed as a se­ri­ous over­sight in min­is­te­r­i­al as­sign­ments.

In a state­ment on his Face­book page yes­ter­day ti­tled Cau­tion for Trinidad and To­ba­go, Young ex­pressed alarm over the May 13, 2025, Gazette No­tice as­sign­ing re­spon­si­bil­i­ties to Cab­i­net min­is­ters. He said it failed to ac­knowl­edge three key State en­er­gy com­pa­nies: Trinidad Pe­tro­le­um Hold­ings Lim­it­ed (TPHL), Her­itage Pe­tro­le­um Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed, and Paria Fu­el Trad­ing Com­pa­ny Lim­it­ed.
