Condemnation continues to mount against United National Congress (UNC) PRO Dr Kirk Meighoo, over his claims that Dr Eric Williams was not Trinidad and Tobago’s first prime minister.
Meighoo made the claim during the nation’s 63rd Independence anniversary over the weekend, saying Barbadian Sir Grantley Adams was, in fact, the person who actually T&T’s first prime minister. He claimed Williams was merely the premier of T&T within the West Indies Federation and that the People’s National Movement’s claims that he was the father of the nation were a myth to make him out to be the beacon of Caribbean unity.
However, analysts and politicians from across the political spectrum denounced his remarks.
