Drayton action no different from Manning's
Much is being made of the new Chairman of CNMG,former independent Senator Helen Drayton. Drayton has been defended by all the north centric validating elite as being the best thing since slice bread .She is being seen as a shining star to grace state boards.
The truth is that appointments to state boards are political acts where the Government of the day will appoint persons to carry out the policy of the administration. Boards do not formulate policies which are not in keeping with the general direction of the Government.
The PNM manifesto has been approved as official policy of the Government. This means that Helen Drayton will be overseeing the PNM policy on media and cannot and will not be permitted pursue an 'independent 'policy. So much for those preaching another starry eyed view of this great Independent Helen of Troy
Perhaps the great defenders of Independent Helen may wish to say whether the actions of telephoning CEO of CNMG,ken Ali to enquire about a live press conference was in any way different to former Prime Minister Patrick Manning invading a radio station to complain about programming! Is Helen that naïve to believe that the population would believe that she made just a polite enquiry?
What has the media association has to say as to this not so veiled interference in programming by an 'Independent 'Chairman?

No New Contracts *
Finance Minister clamps down on jobs, services agreements in State companies

Finance Minister Colm Imbert
THE approval of all new Government contracts is to cease with immediate effect, Finance Minister Colm Imbert has said.
This instruction is being blamed for dozens of employees at the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands and Fisheries being sent home and not having their employment contracts renewed, the Express has learned.
However, Imbert said yesterday his directive pertained to new contracts and that the renewal of contracts, including those for employment, would depend on the approval of the line minister.

PNM OUT OF TIME
By JADA LOUTOO
Friday, October 2 2015
NOTICES of the six successful People’s National Movement (PNM) members of Parliament against the election petitions were filed out of time. One day after the notices were filed in the Registry of the appellate court at the Hall of Justice, Port-of- Spain, lawyers representing the ruling party filed an additional application, asking the courts for an extension of time.
The mistake was made as the PNM’s attorneys were of the opinion that they had 14 days in which to appeal the petitions.
However, it was later realised that the Civil Proceedings Rules of the Supreme Court only gave seven days for the filing of a procedural appeal. The seven days would have expired on September 28.
The six notices of appeal were filed one day later.
The PNM parliamentarians are asking that the time be extended to October 2. They are also asking that the hearing of the application for the extension be expedited due to the urgent nature of the proceedings. The PNM parliamentarians — Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi (San Fernando West); Maxie Cuffie (La Horquetta/Talparo); Glenda Jennings-Smith (Toco/Sangre Grande); Esmond Forde (Tunapuna); Terrence Deyalsingh (St Joseph) and Dr Lovell Francis (Moruga/Tableland) — who each won their respective seats in six disputed marginal constituencies, say the judge erred in law when she granted leave to the Opposition party, “in the absence of any evidence that anyone joined the lines to vote after 6 pm and was allowed to vote, and/or the number of such persons, such as to suggest that the result of the election might have been materially affected by the alleged unlawful extension of polling hours to 7 pm.” The appellate court is also being asked to set aside the leave granted by Justice Dean-Armorer and have the petitions dismissed.
The application for extension filed yesterday gave details as to what occurred, resulting in the late filing of the appeals. According to the application, the petitions were served on the PNM MPs between September 23 and 28, however since the granting of leave by Dean-Armorer was made on September 18, the last day for the filing of the procedural appeal under the CPR was September 28.
The application pointed out, however, that the Election Proceedings Rules gave 14 days but since the appeals lodged on Wednesday could be considered procedural in nature, the application for the extension was being made out of an abundance of caution.
According to the reasons set out in the application for the additional time, a notice of appeal had been prepared on September 28 and presented to the Registry of the Court of Appeal, before the closing time of 4 pm.
The appeal was not accepted because the personal addresses of the six PNM MPs and their defeated colleagues from the UNC were not set out in the notice.
By the time, the necessary information had been received and the additions to the notices made, the filing clerk at the registry indicated that the six successful PNM MPs had 42 days in which to file their appeal.
She also indicated to the law clerk for Elena Araujo, one of the PNM’s attorneys, that he could return the next day, before she closed the filing counter.
The application for the extension maintained that the failure to file within seven days was not intentional.
It also noted that the appellants had been served with the order of Dean-Armorer mere days before the seven day deadline was due to expire and that an attempted had been made to file on time but was not accepted by the Registry.
Pointing out that the explanation given for the one-day-late filing was a good one, the lawyers also noted that their request for additional time was done promptly and would not prejudice the UNC, since there was already the appeal filed by the Elections and Boundaries Commission, pending before the courts.
“It is both in the interest of the administration of justice as well as in the general public interest to permit the appellant to challenge the order of Madam Justice Dean-Armorer, as the appeal raises matters which concern how challenges to due election of Members of Parliament are to be permitted,” the notice of application for the extension stated.
On Monday, the EBC filed 12 grounds of appeal also contending that the judge was wrong to grant leave to the Opposition to question the validity of the six successfully elected members of Parliament. The UNC lost the election with 18 seats to the PNM’s 23 seats and is claiming that the EBC’s rules and the Constitution gave the EBC only the power to adjourn an election in instances of public violence and not the power to extend the traditional voting hours of 6 am to 6 pm. No date has been set for the hearing of the appeals.
