Was Op­po­si­tion Sen­a­tor Faris Al Rawi tru­ly act­ing in the pub­lic in­ter­est when he re­cent­ly re­ferred two con­tro­ver­sial re­ports on the TT Po­lice Ser­vice and the Po­lice Com­plaints Au­thor­i­ty in Par­lia­ment?If you ask him and his die-hard Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment sup­port­ers they would def­i­nite­ly agree in the af­fir­ma­tive but, from my read­ing of this sce­nario, I am yet to be con­vinced about the rea­son/s why he act­ed as he did.

And per­haps the main is­sue here in this sor­did episode lies in the fact that a ma­jor se­cu­ri­ty breach has been com­mit­ted by per­sons known or un­known; be­cause those who were re­spon­si­ble for its "leak­ing" know who they are, and gov­ern­ment of­fi­cials, in­clud­ing the Prime Min­is­ter we are told, were to­tal­ly ig­no­rant about the con­tents of both doc­u­ments.

And this is what both­ers me tremen­dous­ly for it ap­pears that like the con­tro­ver­sy stirred up by the e-mail scan­dal of re­cent vin­tage, I can­not see in what way both cas­es served to ben­e­fit the growth of T&T, be it eco­nom­ic, so­cial or what­ev­er, ex­cept of course seek­ing to score po­lit­i­cal points no mat­ter how minute that may be.Sen­a­tor Al Rawi gave two ex­pla­na­tions on how the re­ports came in­to his pos­ses­sion and I wish on be­half of all right-think­ing peo­ple he would make up his mind on this score once and for all.
