Tobago East MP David Thomas has declared that Tobago’s parliamentary representatives are fully behind the Government’s extension of the State of Emergency (SoE), describing themselves as part of the administration and arguing that emergency powers remain necessary to bring crime under control.
Contributing to debate on the motion to extend the SoE for a further three months, Thomas rejected suggestions from Opposition MPs that Tobago’s representatives should oppose the measure, insisting that both Tobago MPs support the Government’s approach to tackling crime.
“I speak on behalf of my constituency and all of Tobago, including my colleague. We support the SOE,” Thomas told Parliament.
