A five-hour meeting between Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and Tobago House of Assembly (THA) Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has drawn criticism from Minority Leader Kelvon Morris who claimed the session reflected close alignment between Augustine and the United National Congress (UNC). Morris said both parties “were joined at the hip.”
The meeting, which took place on Tuesday, included Leader of Government Business Barry Padarath and Leader of Assembly Business Zorisha Hackett. Topics discussed included Tobago’s autonomy and right to self-determination, the expansion of the THA’s legislative and regulatory authority, national security and border control, unresolved land title issues, Town and Country Planning concerns, and tourism development.
