NEWLY elected PNM chair Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly has called on Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar to account for her absence from the public over the last few days and told citizens to be concerned.

In a post to her Facebook page, the former education minister and St Ann's East MP recalled former prime minister Dr Keith Rowley giving a public account of his health condition when asked.

"The health and fitness for office of a Prime Minister is a public matter; not private. With no sight of the Honourable PM since her swearing in, all citizens should be concerned. Whenever Dr Rowley sought medical attention, there were calls for him to account to the public about his fitness to lead, and he complied. We demand the same of the Honourable Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
