A heated row over the state of emergency (SoE) resulted in a near
physical confrontation between Cabinet colleagues—Minister of National
Security Brigadier John Sandy and Sports Minister Anil Roberts. The
heated confrontation is alleged to have occurred during last Thursday’s
Cabinet meeting. Sunday Guardian understands that Prime Minister Kamla
Persad-Bissessar was forced to intervene in an attempt to quell the
rowdy dispute. Reliable sources told Sunday Guardian that the exchange
of words between the ministers broke out after Roberts blamed Sandy and
the security forces for the failure of the state of emergency, saying
that Sandy should have taken charge of the security forces.
