Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has crit­i­cised Prime Min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley’s Gov­ern­ment for fail­ing to take the nec­es­sary ac­tions to pre­vent the re­cent roll­out of new visa re­quire­ments for the trav­el to the Unit­ed King­dom.

The Unit­ed King­dom yes­ter­day an­nounced that Trinida­di­ans seek­ing to trav­el that coun­try will now re­quired visas.

“Row­ley and his Gov­ern­ment have be­trayed, be­lit­tled and bro­ken our cit­i­zens with their decade of fail­ure which has now led to these mea­sures. For years, we warned Row­ley about his as­so­ci­a­tions with drug traf­fick­ing gov­ern­ments and his fail­ure to deal with our na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty,” Per­sad-Bisses­sar told Guardian Me­dia.
