Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has in­ten­si­fied her call for trans­paren­cy from the Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (Cari­com), rais­ing fresh ques­tions about the process that led to the reap­point­ment of Sec­re­tary-Gen­er­al Dr Car­la Bar­nett.

In a Face­book post yes­ter­day, the Prime Min­is­ter chal­lenged doc­u­ments re­leased by Cari­com hours ear­li­er, ac­cus­ing the re­gion­al body of fail­ing to ad­e­quate­ly ex­plain key as­pects of the Feb­ru­ary meet­ing at which the de­ci­sion was tak­en.

At the cen­tre of the dis­pute is a Heads of Gov­ern­ment re­treat held dur­ing the Cari­com Con­fer­ence in St Kitts and Nevis, where Dr Bar­nett’s reap­point­ment was agreed.
