PNM defends Rowley visit to Gordon’s home

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – The People’s National Movement (PNM) yesterday defended leader Dr Keith Rowley for meeting with Integrity Commission chairman Kenneth Gordon just days before he piloted a motion of no confidence against the Prime Minister and the government last month.
In a statement yesterday, the party argued that Rowley’s meeting at Gordon’s home was no different from the Prime Minister holding official meetings at her private residence.
They said the aide-memoire by Gordon detailed the meeting with Rowley and the circumstances of the meeting sufficiently, adding that Rowley had acted “appropriately and commendably” for seeking a meeting to “ascertain the status of the investigations undertaken by the Integrity Commission”.
