The government says it is fulfilling its campaign promises by strengthening national security and advancing key crime-fighting legislation ahead of the next sitting of Parliament on January 16.

Minister of Land and Legal Affairs and Minister in the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries Saddam Hosein made the statements on January 14 while addressing the media at the United National Congress (UNC) headquarters in Chaguanas, alongside Attorney General John Jeremie.

Hosein said since the government took office on April 28, it has worked to ensure commitments made on the campaign trail were translated into clear, actionable public policy.
