Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has issued a stern warning to the University of the West Indies (UWI) administration to not interfere with plans to open a law school at the university’s South campus in Debe.

The campus began being built under the UNC-led People's Partnership coalition government in the 2010-2015 period and was completed in 2019, but never opened.

On May 20, Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal toured the campus, which falls within his constituency, and expressed disappointment over its state of disrepair.
