Kamla: No disrespect, no invasion of Tobago

Trinidad will not invade Tobago. This was the statement made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar during her address at the launch of the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) election campaign last evening at Tamarind Square, Scarborough. Persad-Bissessar said so in response to critics of the TOP who said a victory for the TOP would lead to the PP taking over Tobago.

“Have no fear of your Government,” the PM added. She said: “Nobody could control Ashworth Jack.” Earlier, she said her Government was not disrespecting Tobago. She said the TOP was a critical part of the PP Government and Jack had been consulted on all policy matters. The PM said the PP Government, including the TOP, named the airport in Crown Point in honour of Tobago’s Arthur NR Robinson, former president and prime minister. She said the Government bought new aircraft to be used on the local air bridge.  She asked: “Where is the disrespect?”
