Madam Speaker

I am authorised by the Cabinet to make this statement on behalf of the Office of the Prime Minister on the establishment of an independent expert committee to investigate the cause of, and national response to, the nationwide power outage on Wednesday February 16, 2022

Contrary to statements made in the public domain by persons who should know better, over the last twelve (12) years, there have been a number of major electricity power outages in Trinidad and Tobago.
