Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says the national budget delivered yesterday is one for the people, stressing that the $1 reduction in super gasoline will ease the burden on citizens and small businesses.

Referencing Black Stalin’s song “We Can Make It If We Try”, she said, “We tried today to touch every sector and everyone for a better quality of life.”

The Prime Minister was speaking at a news conference at the Parliament rotunda following the presentation of the 2026 national budget by Finance Minister Davendranath Tancoo.
