Political Scientist Dr Maukesh Basdeo says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s proposal to guarantee Tobago at least two seats in the Senate would require broad Parliamentary support.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar announced the proposal during Tuesday’s commissioning of the new East Terminal at the ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago.
Speaking on Trinidad and Tobago Today morning show, Dr Basdeo noted that approval from the Opposition and Independent Senators would be critical to securing the special majorities needed to enact the changes.
