Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has strongly condemned an incident at the Eddie Hart Grounds in Tunapuna, where workers assigned to begin construction of a new police post were reportedly prevented from carrying out their duties by representatives of the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation.

In a statement on Thursday, the Prime Minister criticised the PNM-controlled Regional Corporation over the incident.

“The PNM sent their representatives with a member of the TPRC municipal police to threaten and chase workers who started construction. This is a most evil and vile act committed by the PNM party that has no problem with drug blocks in Tunapuna but is fighting against a police post.”
