Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les has dis­missed claims by Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar that the for­mer Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) ad­min­is­tra­tion failed to sup­port the Spir­i­tu­al/Shouter Bap­tist com­mu­ni­ty, de­clar­ing that “talk is cheap.”

Speak­ing at the PNM’s Spir­i­tu­al Shouter Bap­tist Lib­er­a­tion cel­e­bra­tion at the par­ty’s con­stituen­cy of­fice in Point Fortin on Sat­ur­day, Beck­les said there has been State sup­port for the faith through bud­getary al­lo­ca­tions and land grants.
