Leroy Parris and David Thompson: partners in raping Bajan policy holders
Former Minister of Finance, Winston Dookeran, has often shied away from controversy in his long political career. But in an explosive affidavit in response to a lawsuit against the Government’s handling of the Clico affair, brought by his former Cabinet colleague, Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, Dookeran makes some astonishing revelations, including:
• It may take a further $21 billion to resolve the Clico issue;
• Why Clico’s assets could not have been sold in 2009 and 2010
From Dookeran’s affidavit…
“CL Financial is the parent company of the Group. The Group includes companies operating in banking and financial services, manufacturing, trading, retail and distribution, general and life insurance, medical services, forestry and agriculture, real estate development, energy and petrochemicals, marine services and also in the media and communications sectors. It was the largest privately held conglomerate in Trinidad and Tobago and one of the largest in the Caribbean. In early 2009, the group owned or controlled over 30 companies and numerous additional subsidiaries under many of those companies, located in the Caribbean, the USA, Europe and the Middle East.
From the information which came to me on assumption of office, it was evident that the group pursued an objective of international expansion…
These acquisitions were largely funded by intra-Group lending, a significant amount of which came from Clico.”

How do certain people do this crap and yet they get away with it. These people should be in Prison.
I take my hat off to Dame Eugenia Charles, the only Politician with guts.
DLP are lucky that Thompson died. His corruption with Leroy Parris would have killed their chances for election after the Clico collapse. As it is the DLP will have a difficult time getting reelected but it would have been impossible with Thompson still the PM.
