Click to view full size

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday criticised the Independent Senate bench after all nine Independent senators voted against the Special Operations Bill.

She said her Government would no longer accept amendments from them on future legislation.

Persad-Bissessar said the Independent senators had effectively “relegated” themselves to irrelevance in Parliament and accused them of siding with criminals by opposing the legislation.
