THE EDITOR: Once again I must extend congratulations to Prime Minister Rowley for recognising and rewarding excellence in performance. Just recently Richie Sookhai was chosen as a senator and last week he was made a minister in the Ministry of Works.
Everyone knows that this is a very prestigious promotion and working in this ministry is both demanding and taxing.
He will work under another distinguished Indo-senator, Rohan Sinanan.
With the deplorable state of roads, driving has become a game of "dodge the potholes." In fact, every driver in Trinidad now has a special skill set - the ability to react to erupting potholes with cat-like reflexes.
I can only hope that with an extra minister in this ministry we will see a renewed and aggressive road-repair programme like never before.
Sookhai has proven himself in the private sector with distinction and I look forward to his impact in the Ministry or Works.
I am always quick to criticise Dr Rowley on the many missteps in dealing with the Indo-Trinidadian community, in particular. I again must admit to being impressed as he continues to recruit young and vibrant Indians for top-level jobs within his Government.
Serve well, Richie Sookhai, and well done, Rowley.
