PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says government is opposed to the existing structure of Cepep, URP and the National Reafforestation Programme as she claimed these programmes had made Trinidad and Tobago a nation of "grass-cutters" under the then PNM government.
At a budget consultation in her Siparia constituency on July 29, she said, "I am very much against the whole structuring of Cepep, the URP and the (National) Reafforestation (programme)."
She repeated claims made about corruption in Cepep and asked, "You really want gangs?"
