Leader of Government Business, Barry Padarath, has issued a response to comments made by Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles Robinson following the Prime Minister’s address at the 50th Meeting of the Caricom Heads of Government Conference.
Padarath said the remarks from the Opposition Leader did not reflect principled critique. He said the Government stands by statements made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar at the conference.
Padarath cited national crime statistics, stating that 627 murders were recorded in one year and that there was a 42 per cent decline in murders in 2025. He said the figures are supported by official data and reflect policy measures implemented by the administration.
