Patriotic Front leader Mickela Panday is again criticising the United National Congress (UNC) Government’s approach to crime, arguing that repeated States of Emergency do not amount to a national security plan.
In a media statement, Panday said that crime was a central issue in the 2025 general election campaign, during which time the population was promised a comprehensive anti-crime strategy. She argued that the current administration, led by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, has had sufficient time across multiple terms in and out of office to develop and implement a clear plan.
She pointed out that the Government previously held office from 2010 to 2015, spent nearly a decade in Opposition, and has now returned to power for a year, giving it what she described as almost 16 years to study the crime situation, consult experts and deliver solutions.
