Kamla Persad-Bissessar -
NATIONAL Security Minister Stuart Young is being challenged by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar to say which law gives him the jurisdiction and power to deny or grant citizens the right to enter Trinidad and Tobago.
Persad-Bissessar said the Constitution is clear that a citizen who lands here cannot be denied the right to entry.
Yet, she said, some nationals have been stranded abroad for ten months since the border was closed due to the pandemic, while selected people have been given exemptions for themselves and their families to fly in and out.
Speaking on a virtual by-election campaign platform on Monday night, Persad-Bissessar clarified she was neither jealous nor envious that the Prime Minister’s daughter, the Attorney General’s son, MPs and ministers and their families were granted exemptions.
