As the Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley announces his early retirement from politics, the Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar does not hold back in expressing her views on his leadership. The decision to step down before the end of his term is deemed by Persad-Bissessar as a clear sign of failure in effectively leading the nation.
In a swift response to Rowley’s announcement, Persad-Bissessar urges him to do the “honourable thing” and call for general elections. She points out that despite the apparent celebration of Rowley’s departure from politics, there are pressing issues that still need attention.
Key points raised by Persad-Bissessar:
- The accusations of brutalizing businesses and impoverishing citizens
- Allowing a violent crime crisis to persist
- Destroying independent institutions in the country
Moreover, she questions the Prime Minister’s timing in declaring a State of Emergency, labeling it as a failed political gimmick. The chaotic state of the government is highlighted by Persad-Bissessar, who accuses Rowley of leaving the country in darkness with a legacy of failure, division, and despair.
Despite the bleak picture painted by Persad-Bissessar, she reassures that her party is equipped and prepared to bring about change. Plans are already in motion to tackle the prevailing issues and restore safety and security for the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago.
In conclusion, as the political landscape undergoes a transition with the Prime Minister’s impending departure, the message from the Opposition Leader remains clear – the need for decisive action and effective governance to steer the nation towards a brighter future.
