PNM chairman Marvin Gonzales described the government as a “UNC tornado” and dubbed the ruling party “Calamity Jane” while commenting on recent developments involving Housing Minister David Lee. Gonzales said Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has "no wiggle room" to manoeuvre and urged her to remove Lee.

While he affirmed, “everyone is innocent until proven guilty,” he argued Lee, though entitled to retain his seat as MP, should not continue as a minister while criminal charges are outstanding.

“Calamity Jane is leading the people, calamity after calamity, tornado after tornado, instability after instability,” Gonzales said.
