Former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley has responded publicly to remarks made by current Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, warning that proposed legislation could be harmful to law-abiding citizens.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Dr. Rowley wrote:

"If I had said anything nearly as offensive and arrogant as what Kamla recently said, everyone in this country would have known not to accept that from the Prime Minister. I am proud of that fact. It confirms to me that I was held to a higher standard and I am satisfied that I met those standards!"
