AMONG the topics discussed at the government’s first Cabinet meeting was the establishment of an e-Cabinet platform, repeal of the TT Revenue Authority Act, and the establishment of a committee to make recommendations about a “stand your ground” law for Trinidad and Tobago.

In a release on May 8, issued during the Cabinet meeting held at the Red House, Port of Spain, the Office of the Prime Minister said several decisions were taken during the meeting.

It said the first was an amendment to the Children’s Fund Act, 2010, Chapter 29:01. This amendment would expand the categories of applicants that could qualify for a grant. It would also include a mechanism to enable the Health Minister to review a decision by the board of the Children’s Life Fund Authority to reject an application for a grant under the act.
