PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is not in the business of selling panic buttons, she made clear to Newsday via WhatsApp on August 15.

"DEFINITELY Not!!!!" was the PM's response when asked about the opposition asking if she has any pecuniary interest in the sale of panic buttons and firearms by way of being linked to private retailers and firearm dealers respectively.

It all began at a recent UNC consultation on the government's proposed stand your ground laws hosted by Persad-Bissessar in her Siparia constituency.
