OPPOSITION Leader and PNM political leader Pennelope Beckles has slammed Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for reducing Trinidad and Tobago's national security to political theatre. Beckles said the population deserves the truth about the installation of a US military radar system at the ANR Robinson International Airport in Tobago and related matters where US-TT national security collaboration is involved.

In a video statement, Beckles said, "The security of the people of TT must always rise above politics."

She added all citizens want crime to be confronted decisively and TT's borders protected effectively.
