OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has filed a no-confidence motion against Minister of National Security Stuart Young for denying citizens entry to TT during the ongoing covid19 pandemic.
Alleging poor management of migration and border control, she accused Young of failing to discharge his duty and of “a clear and present danger to the national security of Trinidad and Tobago,” in a statement on Wednesday.
Young in reply said he was unfazed by the motion and said Persad-Bissessar was simply trying to use him to seek political relevance.
