Many noticed when Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar was taking her oath of office at President's House on May 1, she broke from the tradition of swearing on a religious text, instead clasping a copy of the Constitution in her right hand.

The swearing-in was live streamed on television and social media and many commented on Persad-Bissessar's unusual choice.

In her first interview after being sworn-in, she explained she chose to take her oath on the Constitution to show that all people of TT are equal in the eyes of God.
