En­er­gy Min­is­ter Dr Roodal Mooni­lal has crit­i­cised com­ments by St Vin­cent and the Grenadines Prime Min­is­ter Dr Ralph Gon­salves, who likened Trinidad and To­ba­go’s cur­ren­cy to mo­nop­oly mon­ey.

Speak­ing at an en­er­gy sym­po­sium on Tues­day, Mooni­lal called the re­mark un­help­ful and ac­cused Gon­salves of re­main­ing silent when the for­mer gov­ern­ment mis­man­aged the econ­o­my.

"Maybe Prime Min­is­ter Gon­salves should have shared his wis­dom with his col­leagues who were re­spon­si­ble for the col­lapse of our econ­o­my and the short­age of for­eign ex­change," Mooni­lal said.
