T&TEC Polo Controversy and National Pride | Trinidad and Tobago News

Former Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales sparked controversy after criticizing T&TEC’s decision to have staff wear yellow polo shirts for an Employee Appreciation Day—just days before Independence Day. He accused management of political bias and urged employees to honor national pride by wearing the national colors, claiming the move was disrespectful to tradition. However, internal memos reveal the event is part of T&TEC’s 80th anniversary celebrations, with commemorative shirts meant to recognize staff contributions—not replace patriotic attire. Officials remain silent as the debate continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
