Kamla: PM locks out the vulnerable Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Courtesy the Office of TT Parliament OPPOSITION Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Monday accused the Prime Minister of locking out the vulnerable people in TT, with the latest covid19 restrictions announced at a news conference at the Diplomatic Centre in St Ann's. In a statement, Persad-Bissessar said, "The Opposition supports measures to protect the health and wellbeing of citizens, but we cannot support hundreds of thousands being left without the ability to take care of their families." She claimed that while Government has found money to pay millions of dollars in rent to the families of Cabinet ministers and finance contracts of the families of other senior ministers, "they do not have a single dollar to help the taxpayers of this nation during their time of need."
