Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and Energy Minister Stuart Young’s ten-year “collu­sion” with the Nicolas Maduro government will be recorded as the “worst bend-over” in energy sector history, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar said yesterday.

The former prime minister said that a Uni­ted National Congress (UNC) government “will not honour any agreement that this Government enters into regarding the Pointe-a-Pierre refinery, and we gua­rantee that the UNC will pursue investigations against everyone who participates in this theft of the refinery assets”.

Persad-Bissessar issued a release following Young’s post-Cabinet media conference, and further criticised the Maduro regime, descri­bing it as an “illegitimate, drug-­trafficking government”.
