Fixin T&T has been granted leave to file for judicial review against the Port Authority of T&T (PATT) for failing to provide the watch group with information on the sea bridge fiasco requested under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Yesterday, Justice David Harris, presiding in the San Fernando High Court granted leave and adjourned the matter for hearing on November 30.
In a release issued yesterday, Fixin T&T’s Kirk Waithe stated that he applied for the information on July 21, 2017.
He said, “This information contains matters of urgent public interest and national importance—the ongoing Trinidad and Tobago sea bridge fiasco. It involves the questionable procurement practices of the PATT regarding contracts awarded to Bridgemans Services Group for the provision of two vessels—the Ocean Flower 11 and the Cabo Star.”
Waithe said there was no PATT representative in court. Waithe was represented by attorney Navindra Ramnanan.
