PNM Tobago Council political leader Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis has called on Government to stop its intimidation tactics in the Parliament towards staff members.

Cudjoe-Lewis made the call on Thursday during a news conference held at the Tobago Council Office in Scarborough. She was responding to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s claim in Parliament last week Monday that she and several other members of the PNM, including former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley and Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles, were on a Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission (T&TEC) “protected list” of individuals whose electricity supply could not be disconnected.

“The Media Association of Trinidad and Tobago (MATT) had to write to the Prime Minister to ask her why she not coming and talk to the people and that is what the Prime Minister want to take the Parliamentary time to do?” she said.
