Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles has claimed soldiers are not being nourished properly at the various army bases across the country. Beckles said this is a matter of national security as she called for answers on the condition of soldiers.

She was speaking to the media at the Arima Public Library (Nalis) on September 17 during an International Literacy Day event for primary school students.

Beckles urged the government to pay attention to the situation of the troops amid heightened tensions between US and Venezuela which TT has become embroiled in.
