Forensic expert Bob Lindquist is back
Posted: Friday, January 4, 2002

Manning said Lindquist will continue his probe into InnCogen, the desalination plant and the $1.6 billion airport terminal. These were controversial projects carried out under the UNC administration.

Lindquist arrived in the country last night, and would meet today with Attorney General Glenda Morean to iron out his terms and conditions.

Morean said later it was not difficult to persuade Lindquist to come back to T&T. She said he started the job, stopped and now wanted to complete it. "He is ready, willing and able," she said.

Responding to reports that the UNC political leader Basdeo Panday was convening his own "Cabinet" meeting yesterday, Manning said Panday was having difficulty facing reality.

"Poor Mr Panday," he said. "I feel sorry for him. Some people have difficulty adjusting to new arrangements."

Manning described Panday's "Cabinet" as "a dangerous course of action," but said he did not want to impute improper motives to him.

He said the PNM would not be deterred by "anybody bent on destruction or trying to stymie the actions of the government."

Responding to Mr Panday's rejection of the post of Opposition Leader, Manning said, "then the President has the option of asking someone else."
