PM: Stay home if you can’t behave in public

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has issued a sharp rebuke to citizens following what she described as irresponsible behaviour captured in a video circulating over the Independence weekend, saying Trinidad and Tobago cannot continue to tolerate lawlessness in public spaces.

In a statement yesterday, Persad-Bissessar said the conduct on display stood in stark contrast to the values of the majority of the population.

“Trinidad and Tobago, the irresponsible behaviour seen in the video clip occurred over the Independence weekend. The majority of citizens are decent, law-abiding people who should not have to live in a lawless dump because of criminals and belligerent individuals.”
