UDeCOTT board fired<\/figcaption><\/figure>Udecott board fired<\/a>

\nCherry: Sacking of Udecott board reckless and unfair<\/a>
\nAt least one member of the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (Udecott) board says it appears to be a political act to replace all board members except for chairman Jearlean John. Anthony Cherry yesterday described the announcement by Attorney General John Jeremie to change the remaining four Udecott board members as “reckless” and “unfair.”<\/p>\n

‘…Minister must go too’<\/a>
\nTHE Uff report has revealed nothing new and held no surprises, says president of the Joint Consultative Council (JCC) Winston Riley.<\/p>\n

PM has a case to answer too<\/a>
\nIt may not have been ‘the Calder Hart inquiry’, as the Works and Transport Minister once protested too much in Parliament, but the former UDeCOTT executive chairman emerges as the unquestionable superhero in the drama of public-sector misbehaviour unfolded by the Uff report. <\/p>\n

Kamla: Too little, too late<\/a>
\nPRIME Minister Patrick Manning should resign and call a general election immediately due to Government’s refusal to act on allegations against the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDeCOTT), its former executive chairman Calder Hart and the company’s board based on evidence long in the public domain, advised Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. <\/p>\n

Rowley said probes were done by forensic accountants Gerry McCaffrey, Robert Lindquist, the Uff Commission of Enquiry and all came to the same conclusion thing – that no money was stolen. <\/p>\n

Uff: Chinese not better than locals<\/a>
