UPDATE: Watch the live stream of the Post-Cabinet Media Briefing right here. The Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) announced a short while ago that Prime Minister Keith Rowley will host the Post-Cabinet Media Briefing at 1:00 PM this afternoon (Wednesday 27th March, 2024) at Whitehall in Port-of-Spain.
No further details were provided by the OPM. The Prime Minister is expected to spend the Easter long weekend in Tobago. From there, he is expected to leave on Tuesday (2nd April, 2024) to vacation in Ireland for approximately twelve (12) days. This is a developing story - refresh this page for updates. According to the Trinidad and Tobago Meteorological Service (TTMS), there is a well formed high pressure cell across the North Atlantic, and ridging is expected to continue to be the dominant feature over the Windward Islands and Trinidad and Tobago, during this outlook period. A frontal system passing to the North of the Lesser Antilles is expected to influence the synoptic wind-field across Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands by causing it to be reduced in speed, and thereby reducing the ventilation across the Southern Islands. Without any major cloud coverage, a relatively dryer atmosphere, and reduced ventilation, there is likely to be higher concentrations of sunshine reaching the surface and a relative increase in maximum temperatures during the daytime.
Mostly fair and sunny conditions are expected across Trinidad and Tobago for this outlook period, except for a few brief showers at times, when there are intermittent patches of moisture advection interacting with the local topography. On the synoptic scale, no major precipitation causing event or significant rainfall accumulation is predicted for Trinidad and Tobago and the Windward Islands. A passing frontal system to the North is expected to influence a relative increase in moisture convergence over the Leeward Islands and to some extent, the Northern Windward Islands. The Met Office notes that from Friday (29th March 2024), there is likely to be an increase in the sea swell periods, so persons should be on the lookout for energetic near-shore waves, at times. Saharan dust concentration in the atmosphere is expected to be mostly mild during this outlook period. Bush and brush fires, together with the possibility for landfill and forest fires, will likely contribute to the reduction in air quality at times. Sensitive persons are still advised to continue to take the necessary precautions. Please continue to pay attention to the latest forecasts, alerts, and information issued by the TTMS.

According to T&TEC, the works will be conducted along Ariapita Avenue and Colville Street from Thursday (28th March, 2024) at 6:00 PM to Monday (1st April, 2024) at Midnight. T&TEC said this is to upgrade the existing underground infrastructure. Please note the following:
Drivers are advised to find alternative routes as necessary or follow the guidance of the Police Officers on duty. The Commission regrets the inconvenience which may be caused by this traffic interruption. Please be guided accordingly. In response to concerns about a disturbance at the Port-of-Spain Prison, Commissioner of Prisons (Ag.), Mr. Deopersad Ramoutar, stated that on Tuesday (26th March, 2024), at around 10:15 AM, a situation developed at the Port-of-Spain Prison between an Officer and an irate inmate.
According to a Media Release on Tuesday, the Prison Service said it was reported that the “inmate refused to obey lawful instructions to return to his cell. He became violent and uncontrollable. The Officer attempted to have the inmate manage his emotions and return to the cell. However, the Officer was assaulted. The Officer had no choice but to defend himself, and other inmates in the vicinity chose this incident to rally around, causing a fracas.” The Prison Service added, “After several attempts by Officers responding to the situation to execute their duties in a professional manner, the use of a level of force became necessary and was utilized. All inmates were returned to their cells and the situation was brought under control. The fracas resulted with both Officers and inmates being injured. Medical attention was rendered at the prison infirmary to some of the individuals involved, and others were conveyed to receive medical attention externally. No life-threatening injuries have been recorded.” The Media Release concluded by saying, “Commissioner Ramoutar has launched an investigation into the matter and also engaged members of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service. Additionally, he wishes to assure members of the public that the incident has been quelled and normal operations have resumed at the Port-of-Spain Prison. He also indicated that situations like these are all in a day’s work for the Prisons Officers who are at times, undervalued and unappreciated. He has given his commitment to have dialogue with all parties and to achieve an amicable resolution.” More on this as it becomes available.
