Imbert hails Gordon as ‘rising star’

In the Parliament yesterday, Diego Martin North/East MP Colm Imbert interrupted his contribution to announce that Gordon had won.

Gordon lives in Imbert’s constituency. “He won again?” asked Imbert when Port-of-Spain North/West MP Patricia McIntosh showed him a message she received on his phone. “He is a rising star. Make him an alderman,” Imbert said.

He added that if Gordon ran this time at the Olympics, he could win a silver medal and Sports Minister Anil Roberts agreed.

Earlier in the debate, Imbert criticised former Local Government Minister Dr Suruj Rambachan for failing to respond to a request made by him to have a retaining wall near Gordon’s home repaired. “The boy came and won a gold (medal). Nothing happened. I checked this morning. Nothing happened. You should be ashamed of yourselves,” Imbert said.
