Trinidad and Tobago's cocoa is the best in the world and it's because all our cocoa is in the sun.

“I have nothing to hide. If some people say forensic audit, then go ahead, because I have no cocoa in the sun, so I’m afraid of nothing.”

The man who dropped that bombshell was toeing the baleezay line: since, at the time, he was taking his cue from his line Minister, Emily Dick-Forde, who had earlier stoutly defended Calder Hart this way:

“Mr Hart’s resignation would have been a surprise, but it also would not have been, because I think if any of you as human beings would have been hounded and treated the way he has been, I think you all would understand. So, a resignation is part of normal governance, people move on, but I think in the circumstances, we in Trinidad and Tobago should be very ashamed of what has happened, a person, a human being has been treated very, very badly, by us.”

The Trinidad Newsday story whence the above were culled went on to state:

Annisette then admitted he had spoken to Hart on Sunday after Hart fled Trinidad. He declined to give details of their conversation, saying it was a personal call.

From their talk, did he expect Hart to return to Trinidad? Annisette said, “Yes, yes. He didn’t give a specific time, but he will be back.”

Court protocol demanded that pre-action protocol letters be served on Calder Hart...so they were.

Pure protocol demands Annisette and Dick-Forde be served pre-action protocol letters as well...so proceed, for Trinidad and Tobago's cocoa is the best in the world and it's because all our cocoa is under our brand of the sun.

I gone!
