Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is calling on masqueraders to refrain from doing anything to embarrass or humiliate themselves or their loved ones while enjoying the Carnival revelry. Her comment came amidst calls by Archbishop Jason Gordon for the Government to regulate the festivities.
Guardian Media asked the Prime Minister yesterday to weigh in on the controversy surrounding the distribution of adult toys by mas band Tribe in their goodie bags to female masqueraders this Carnival.
On Sunday, the Roman Catholic Archbishop, in his homily, condemned the move. He said if Carnival continues to slip into this type of “hedonism,” the Government should step in and regulate, particularly Carnival Monday and Tuesday, if mas bands fail to do so.
