One month in­to the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) gov­ern­ment’s term, po­lit­i­cal sci­en­tist Dr In­di­ra Ram­per­sad and for­mer PNM fi­nance min­is­ter Karen Nunez-Tesheira have praised Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar for her ‘no-non­sense’ lead­er­ship style in her sec­ond stint in of­fice.

Speak­ing on CNC3’s The Morn­ing Brew on Tues­day, Dr Ram­per­sad said there is a stark dif­fer­ence be­tween Per­sad-Bisses­sar now and dur­ing her 2010-2015 tenure.

“She’s laid her rules down, both for her par­ty and for the na­tion, in a way of what to ex­pect…She's very strong. Of course, she's old­er, but now she seems much stronger,” Dr Ram­per­sad said.
