In an evening of glitz and glamour, the United National Congress (UNC) hosted its annual Christmas fundraiser on Saturday evening, marking its first since returning to Government. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar used the occasion to caution officials about a heavier workload in the year ahead.
Opening her nine-minute address at the Dennis Ramdhan Complex in Couva to Government officials and party supporters all decked off in ballgowns and black-tie attire, Persad-Bissessar thanked supporters who stood by the party during a decade in opposition. Pointing out that her administration has been in office for just over seven months, she acknowledged that bureaucracy had slowed the delivery of some campaign promises.
But she urged patience, signalling that more intensive work lies ahead as the Government seeks to accelerate its agenda.
