Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley slams Opposition promises to restart Petrotrin if elected to office.

Dr. Rowley says such a plan is doomed and it would be a dark day in the country if that happens.

Leader of the United National Congress, Kamla Persad Bissessar and her chief whip in the last parliament, David Lee have repeatedly said their government would reopen the refinery.

Yesterday at the Petrotrin land distribution ceremony, at the Palo Seco Government Primary School Dr. Rowley said Mrs. Persad Bissessar’s promise is not responsible.

The government is promising land for terminated Petrotrin workers.

The Prime Minister said one thousand lots of land would be given to the former employees who currently don’t own land or a home.

He said phase 2 would be made available for the rest of the former workers.
