Business chambers are calling for the proposed extension of the state of emergency (SoE) to be supported by evidence and facts demonstrating that it is producing tangible results.

Government will go to Parliament tomorrow to extend the SoE for a further three months.

In a media release yesterday, the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce (T&T Chamber) acknowledged the Government’s intention to request a three-month extension and recognised the need for decisive action to combat serious and organised criminal activity. However, it called for evidence to support the proposal.
