Two months after saying Caricom is not a reliable partner to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has ripped into the regional organisation again, labelling it dysfunctional.
In a loaded statement issued yesterday afternoon, Persad-Bissessar tore into Caricom saying, “Caricom is not a reliable partner at this time. The fact is that beneath the thin mask of unity, there are many widening fissures that, if left unaddressed, will lead to its implosion.
“The organisation is deteriorating rapidly due to poor management, lax accountability, factional divisions, destabilising policies, private conflicts between regional leaders and political parties and the inappropriate meddling in the domestic politics of member states. That’s the plain truth.”
