INDEPENDENT?

It seems PNM and their cronies trying to redefine the word "INDEPENDENT"

Tell me if the following persons sound Independent to you?

Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT)
President Curtis Williams; Recipient of PNM Scholarship Slush funds
INDEPENDENT?
==========================

Trinidad and Tobago Publishers and Broadcasters Association (TTPBA)
President Darren Lee Sing, Son of PNM stalwart Louis Lee Sing
Spouse: former PNM senator and current PNM Alderman Laurel Lezama-Lee Sing,
Also recipient of over $500,000 if PNM Scholarship Slush funds
INDEPENDENT?
==============================

M.G. DALY & PARTNERS
Martin Daly
PARTNER: Sharon Clark-Rowley WIFE of Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley
INDEPENDENT?
=============================

EXPRESS
Asha Javeed, known to be VERY friendly with former Attorney General under the last PNM administration John Jeremie
INDEPENDENT?
=============================

Do you believe these persons are Independent and would express and Independent view towards the gov’t?
