Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine has pledged to push back against any heavy-hand­ed en­force­ment by li­cens­ing of­fi­cers, warn­ing that To­bag­o­ni­ans must not be un­fair­ly tar­get­ed.

The To­ba­go Peo­ple’s Par­ty (TPP) leader al­so has dis­missed claims that li­cens­ing of­fi­cers are wait­ing un­til af­ter the Jan­u­ary 12 To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly (THA) elec­tions to be­gin is­su­ing the re­cent­ly dou­bled traf­fic fines.

Au­gus­tine broke his si­lence on the is­sue at a TPP pub­lic meet­ing at the Calder Hall Play­ing Field, in the elec­toral dis­trict of Scar­bor­ough/Mt Grace, on Thurs­day night.
