Mo­ments af­ter 32 mem­bers of her gov­ern­ment were sworn in at Pres­i­dent’s House—and with most of her Cab­i­net seat­ed be­hind her—Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar an­nounced that her first pri­or­i­ty would be to dis­man­tle the Trinidad and To­ba­go Rev­enue Au­thor­i­ty (TTRA).

Af­ter de­clar­ing that it is time for “boots on the ground” and for her gov­ern­ment to “get to work”, Per­sad-Bisses­sar then an­nounced, “We have to re­form a lot of pieces of leg­is­la­tion, and the ar­eas of pri­or­i­ty will be one, to re­peal the Trinidad and To­ba­go Rev­enue Au­thor­i­ty Act,” she said to cheers from the crowd.
