PM vows to uproot PNM’s ‘swine culture’

One day af­ter threat­en­ing to fire “lazy” pub­lic sec­tor work­ers, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar has vowed to up­root what she de­scribes as a “swine cul­ture” en­trenched in Trinidad and To­ba­go by the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM).

This comes with a stern warn­ing that wel­fare schemes, cor­rupt em­ploy­ment pro­grammes and non-per­form­ing state agen­cies and em­ploy­ees will con­tin­ue to face cuts un­der her Gov­ern­ment.

In a strong­ly word­ed so­cial me­dia post yes­ter­day, Per­sad-Bisses­sar ac­cused the PNM of fos­ter­ing a cul­ture of lazi­ness, law­less­ness, dis­hon­esty and de­pen­den­cy, which she claimed had un­der­mined the coun­try’s work­ing and mid­dle class­es.
