Political Scientist Professor Hamid Ghany says the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) needs to resolve its issues and begin taking action as the people of the region have had enough talk.

As Caribbean leaders gather for the 51st Heads of Government Meeting in St Lucia, Professor Ghany noted that the meeting is taking place amidst controversy.

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is in attendance at the summit, had indicated that Trinidad and Tobago will not recognise Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett when her term concludes in August.
