Diego Martin West MP Dr Keith Rowley says he wants the Commission of Enquiry into UDeCOTT and the construction sector to fully examine the controversial Cleaver Heights housing project so that he could get his ’good name back from the Prime Minister.’

Rowley made the statement in the Parliament last evening as he said the ongoing Commission of Enquiry, which has expanded terms of reference to examine Cleaver Heights, must be validated to ’hopefully to save the PNM.’

’The PNM is on trial,’ Rowley said of the ruling.

He did so in a fiery contribution to the debate of the bill that will validate the Enquiry that was abruptly ended at 8.18 p.m. yesterday and will resume at 11 a.m. tomorrow.

In reference to the bill, Rowley said that as a witness in the Enquiry, he had ’an interest in the matter’ as he said it was a letter from his legal team that resulted in the discovery that the Commission was not being gazetted under the Act.

’I would like a round of applause from you because the one that wrote this letter was in my employ and it has saved the country millions of dollars,’ Rowley said, as the Opposition MPs applauded.

Rowley said that he wanted the Enquiry to be saved so that it could complete its work and examine in closer detail certain issues that fall under its expanded terms of reference such as the Cleaver Heights project and how the personal fax number of UDeCOTT executive chairman Calder Hart ended up on the rubber stamp of the contractor who first won the $368 million contract for the Ministry of Legal Affairs Building-CH Development.
