OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar will cut the security assigned to public officials if they continue to fail to improve public security, announcing her plans for a future UNC government, at a UNC anti-crime town hall meeting at Chaguanas on April 3.

"There have been about 5000 murders under this government in ten years. The slaughter continues despite being in a state of emergency (SOE).
