As Dr Keith Rowley prepares to pass the prime ministerial baton to Energy and Energy Industries Minister Stuart Young, who will take on the reins of leadership starting tomorrow, political opponents weigh in on his nearly ten years of governing the country.
Despite the constant political pressure and criticism he faced, both Winston Dookeran, former political leader of the Congress of the People (COP), and Gary Griffith, leader of the National Transformation Alliance (NTA), have applauded Dr Rowley’s contributions to the country.
Dookeran told Guardian Media that, unlike his predecessors, Dr Rowley is the first prime minister who will leave office on his own terms, feeling that he has completed his job, rather than being voted out. Since the death of Dr Eric Williams, every other prime minister of T&T has stepped down after losing an election.
