Kamla Persad-Bissessar: “They will help us to improve our surveillance and the intelligence of the radars for the narco-traffickers in our waters…”

Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says there has been abuse of the issuance of diplomatic passports.

This is nothing new with the PNM. They’ve been campaigning with race-grifting for decades. It’s gotten worse and more overt under this Penny-led PNM.

This is not a downgrade or any indication of wrong-doing by anyone who is being affected. It is simply corrective action being taken.

Bearers of diplomatic passports are required to return them to the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs when their overseas posting concludes, they retire, or they leave the qualifying political office.
