Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has been “burning the midnight oil” to manage the State’s affairs out of her private residence in Phillipine, San Fernando.

Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Barry Padarath, who was seen yesterday entering Persad-Bissessar’s private home laden with files, said she has been severely handicapped by the lack of proper facilities at both the Prime Minister’s official residence and the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) at Whitehall.
