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.
