Trinidad and Tobago has one Government and that is the duly elected representative of the people.
Those are the words of Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, following news that Opposition leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar wrote to the Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, in relation to the Brent Thomas ‘abduction’ fiasco.
In a brief statement to his social media page, Rowley said: There is a role for the Opposition and a role and responsibility for the Government in managing the affairs of the state of Trinidad and Tobago.
He said the latest self-promotion of the Leader of the Opposition as an insertion into the business of the handling of the sensitive Brent Thomas matter between the Government of Barbados and the Royal Barbados Police Force and the Government of Trinidad and Tobago and the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service is a wholly unnecessary and out of place intrusion by the Leader of the Opposition.
Rowley said, the interest of the people of Trinidad and Tobago will always be better served and protected if the country has one Government at a time.
