The Post-Cabinet Media Briefing was held at 1:30pm this afternoon (Wednesday 2nd September 2020) but did not include Prime Minister Keith Rowley. The Media Briefing provided the public with updates on several important issues in Trinidad and Tobago. Below are the key points discussed today: - Energy and Energy Industries Minister, Franklin Khan, said the Government continues to work assiduously to bring solutions to ensure the survival of the Point Lisas Industrial Estate. He noted the country continues to do reasonably well despite the challenges being faced in the COVID-19 global Pandemic. - Minister Khan said reports that the Point Lisas Industrial Estate is under threat is a "misnomer." He acknowledged that there are challenges as certain Plants at the Point Lisas Industrial Estate have been idle but said they are "the least efficient ones." Government expects to see the restarting of these Plants in the near future when there is an upturn in energy prices. At least three (3) Plants at Point Lisas are up and running. Minister Khan maintained that the Government continues to meet with all the key players in the energy industry. - National Security Minister, Stuart Young, commented on a Newspaper Editorial on the deportation of illegal immigrants. He assured that the repatriation of Venezuelans is being done in complete accordance to the law of T&T. He also reminded that during the registration exercise for Venezuelan Nationals last year, it was stated that those who commit criminal acts in T&T would have their Registration Card revoked, and they would be repatriated. - Minister Young also commented on some positive news with regard to the new Passport delivery system by the Immigration Division with people no longer required to come in to collect their Passport. The turnaround time for Passports is now five (5) to ten (10) days, and renewals are still going on. - Commenting on the return of $22 Million in cash which was seized from a house in La Horquetta yesterday (Tuesday 22nd September 2020), Minister Young said the matter continues to be investigated by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) and urged citizens to be wary of partaking in pyramid schemes.
