OPPOSITION members Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly and former culture minister Randall Mitchell strongly criticised Culture Minister Michelle Benjamin for a July 27 press release which addressed comments made by the Emancipation Support Committee of Trinidad and Tobago’s (ESCTT) executive director Zakiya Uzoma-Wadada about funding and its operations.

The Michelle Benjamin-led ministry said, in its release, that the committee had arrived at a crossroads in its existence.

Shortly after that release, the ministry posted pics of her and Uzoma-Wadada at the recently opened Lidj Yasu Omowale Emancipation Village with the caption ­– We Stand United.
