Media Release:

RE: ENVIRONMENTALIST DR. WAYNE KUBLALSINGH AND HIS HIGHWAY RE-ROUTE MOVEMENT AND THE DEBE TO MON DESIR SECTION OF THE POINT FORTIN HIGHWAY PROJECT.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is warning against the stance Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and her administration has taken regarding environmentalist Dr. Wayne Kublalsingh and his Highway Re-Route Movement and the Debe to Mon Desir section of the Point Fortin highway project. It is clear the Prime Minister and her administration have not been transparent and have shown gross inconsistencies considering their position taken on the smelter plant issue while in opposition.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is demanding that:

·         Works Minister Emmanuel George provides the minutes of the meeting with Kublalsingh's team earlier this year and the technical documents relating to the highway project.

·         An independent environmental impact assessment be done regarding the impact of the Debe to Mon Desir section of the Point Fortin highway project on the Siparia protected forest and the Oropouche Lagoon.

It is important to note that The The EMA's website has no details of certificates of environmental clearance (CECs) and environmental impact assessments (EIAs) granted for this project.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is reminding Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar and her administration of the many failed construction projects globally due to acts of God and acts of man. This project may also fail if the necessary steps are not taken to meet the demands of the Highway Re-Route Movement.
