MARVIN Gonzales, Arouca/Lopinot MP, says the government risks wrecking the Public Service if it goes ahead with its plans to eliminate contract employment, as promised by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar at a Penal event on August 27.

The opposition chief whip alleged that Persad-Bissessar did not understand certain aspects of the Public Service, in his text to Newsday on August 28.

Gonzales said, "The honourable Prime Minister is being misled on a very important matter of governance in Trinidad and Tobago that will have serious consequences on the lives and livelihood of thousand of our citizens."
