The Senate has heard arguments for and against the planned shutdown of the Petrotrin Refinery. On Tuesday, Senate Vice President, Nigel De Freitas, granted a Motion by Opposition Senator, Gerald Ramdeen, to have the Upper House debate the shutdown. Mr. Ramdeen's Motion argued that Government's decision to close the Petrotrin Refinery failed to provide a plan on how this decision will be implemented, and he also questioned how the Government intended to counter the adverse consequences of this decision. In direct response, Energy Minister Franklin Khan painted a picture of a refinery struggling with efficiency.
