PORT OF SPAIN – The Trinidad and Tobago government has filed a lawsuit against the broker for Super-Fast Galicia Intercontinental Shipping alleging that it broke a contract to provide services on the sea bridge between the two islands.
Minister in the Office of the Attorney General, Stuart Young, told Parliament Friday that the Keith Rowley government would be seeking damages as a result of the decision to pull the vessel.
“I want them to tell the population again, how the Galicia was procured, who is it that procured the Galicia who was paid for procurement of the Galicia,” Young told legislators, adding that Attorney General Faris Al Rawai, who filed the law suit earlier this week, has indicated that there is further action to come out of the Galicia transactions.
Last April, the owners of the Galicia withdrew its service on the sea bridge which it had operated since 2014.
Young told Parliament that the government had discovered a “secret room” at a state-agency where people employed by the former administration were working on laptops overtime to “backfill” documentation.
