Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) Chair­man Mar­vin Gon­za­les is rais­ing se­ri­ous con­cern over what he de­scribes as an im­bal­anced eth­nic and racial com­po­si­tion among new­ly ap­point­ed state boards un­der the UNC-led gov­ern­ment.

“When I look at it, I won­der if we're liv­ing in Bangladesh or Del­hi,” Gon­za­les de­clared at an Op­po­si­tion news brief­ing at the Of­fice of the Op­po­si­tion Leader on Charles Street, Port of Spain.

He ar­gued that boards made up pre­dom­i­nant­ly of mem­bers from one race would nev­er have been ap­proved by for­mer Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley.
