OPPOSITION chief whip Marvin Gonzales asked whether Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has a pecuniary interest in the sale of panic buttons, as he reacted to her call for home-owners to install the emergency devices in their houses as an anti-crime measure.

The Arouca/Lopinot MP spoke to Newsday on August 15, after Persad-Bissessar had recommended the installation of panic buttons and CCTV cameras as she spoke to listeners at a stand-your-ground consultation in her Siparia constituency.

He asked if the PM was associated with an unnamed firearms dealer.
