Political Leader of the Patriotic Front, Mickela Panday, has criticised comments made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar ahead of today’s Senate debate on the Zones of Special Operations (ZOSO) legislation, describing the approach as arrogant and dismissive of the State’s responsibility to citizens.
In a Facebook post, Panday wrote, “This is not leadership. It is arrogance,” adding that, “No Prime Minister has the right to tell citizens, accept our laws or fend for yourselves against criminals.”
Yesterday, it was reported that Persad-Bissessar said she would not be surprised if Independent Senators vote against the ZOSO legislation when it comes before the Senate today. The bill was passed in the House of Representatives last Friday without opposition support and now requires the backing of at least four of the nine Independent Senators to secure passage in the Upper House.
