Talking about polka, can we move on a bit to the shuffle... the Cabinet reshuffle?
Prime Minister it is clear that several members of the Cabinet have not made the transition from private to public business.
I had asked you early o'clock to bring them in school and teach them the process for decision making and knowing when to open their mouths. Prime Minister, the Attorney General Anand Ramlogan is the perfect example of how your selection has failed. Ramlogan comes from a profession that is mediocre at best and where a bad lawyer can look good. He made his name and a lot of money on the back of foolish decisions made by former Prime Minister Patrick Manning.
Madam Prime Minister, Manning cantered away leaving the law and due process in his sorry wake. Fortunately for us he didn't canter towards the winning pole in the May 24 elections.
Anand seized the opportunity and the attendant publicity. His column in the Guardian newspaper was a lot of rambling and very, very limited.
Next thing, he is there alongside you on May 26, exactly five months ago being sworn in as Attorney General because he won a few matters against the state.
He entered office and behaved as if he was still fighting everybody...he would put Manning in jail, start a public enquiry on everything, send Ish Galbaransingh and Steve Ferguson into the arms of US jurisprudence.
Madam Prime Minister, how did you ever allow Ramlogan to put both Mark Seepersad and Gerald Ramdeen on the team that will investigate five state companies? Just google those two names and you will see how often they appeared together. Do they belong to the same law firm?
And Madam Prime Minister where did you get the Minister of Health from? And why did you have to pull Nan Ramgoolam out of the ashes and make her Minister of Public Administration?
Public servants might be annoyed at the one percent over three years that the Chief Personnel Officer has offered them, but they are more annoyed by the little bulls you have running around their offices, trampling on everything.
I am glad at least that Anand has gone quiet these days. And Madam Prime Minister when you fire a whole bunch of them please don't say "Read my lips". Because we don't know what those lips will say when they announce the new bunch of misfits.
