Former Minister of Culture Randall Mitchell has joined the national debate over the cancellation of this year’s Independence Day parade, urging the Government to provide a clear and transparent explanation to citizens.
The Kamla Persad-Bissessar-led Government recently announced that the annual parade would not take place on August 31, citing safety concerns. The decision has since sparked mixed reactions, with questions raised about its implications for national celebrations.
Mitchell, in a statement, said the parade is far more than a ritual and serves as a vital reminder of the country’s history and identity.
