Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Eli Zakour has said the demerit point system continues to remain in effect as the policy will have to get a negative resolution in parliament.

He made the statement while responding to questions from the media at the American Chamber of Commerce (AmchamTT) annual general meeting on June 13.

When asked whether the demerit point system was put on hold, he said: “No. As minister, under section 88D (1) (of the motor vehicles and road traffic amendment act) by order I can remove the demerit points which require a negative resolution of parliament.”
