PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Dr Keith Rowley says he will resign from office on March 16.

He was speaking during a ceremony on Wednesday morning to rename the D’Abadie/O’Meara Road the Lisa Morris-Julian Boulevard.

As prime minister, I too am ending my tenure of public service — thankfully, not sadly — but with a certain amount of satisfaction that I have been able to have colleagues around me and been given the responsibility to chart a course of development for this country for a period of time,” he said.

He stated that many people in public life do not believe or forget that service in public life is for a period — no matter how good or important they are.

As I conclude a number of assignments in these weeks, I do so with some satisfaction that my presence among my colleagues and the national community would have contributed to national development and that I would have done something good with you and for you,” he said.

He noted that, just like in a household, the national budgetary process is never sufficient to accomplish everything that is desired, especially when multiple projects need to be undertaken simultaneously.
