Former prime minister and Port-of-Spain/St Ann’s West MP Stuart Young says he is considering legal action following the termination of hundreds of CEPEP contractors, which he says has led to the loss of jobs for thousands of citizens.
In a statement issued Saturday, Young described the move as “cruel, inhumane and wrong,” and said he had been contacted by many of those affected.
“To do this to families, including thousands of parents, is simply cruel,” he said. “I shall be reviewing this victimisation from a legal perspective to establish what action can be brought against CEPEP Ltd and the Government for these premature and cruel terminations.”
He accused the Government of vindictive behaviour and warned that it must not go unchallenged.
