Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles has criticised Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, accusing her of “abdication of responsibility” in the wake of a violent weekend that has shaken Trinidad and Tobago.
In a statement yesterday, Beckles said the Prime Minister attempted to “downplay and distance herself from the Government’s poor handling of a national crime crisis,” raising concerns about her leadership at a time of national grief.
“The Prime Minister has failed to recognise the hurt and pain of the nation, showing a lack of love, empathy, compassion, care and understanding in the wake of a bloody weekend,” Beckles said.
