Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC has accused the People’s National Movement of hypocrisy following criticism of her announcement to establish 30 joint army/police posts across the country over the next four months.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Prime Minister said it was clear from the PNM’s objection that it does not care about the safety of law-abiding citizens or the security of the nation.
She argued that the planned joint army-police posts are intended to strengthen security and provide greater protection for residents, particularly in communities affected by crime.
