Opposition PNM members are standing united against the UNC government’s campaign promise to remove the demerit point system. Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles said any amendments to the law must be done with consultation.
Her stance follows pointed warnings from Opposition MP Marvin Gonzales and Opposition Senator and former attorney general Faris Al-Rawi, who both criticised the government’s plan as reckless and dangerous. They were speaking at a media conference at the Office of the Leader of the Opposition at Charles Street.
Gonzales, a former Minister of Public Utilities and National Security, said the system—introduced under the PNM—serves as a critical tool to deter reckless driving and save lives.
