Prime Minister Keith Rowley expressed shock that criminal conduct is no longer seen by some people as debarring them from being politicians. Speaking during a television interview on Thursday, Dr. Rowley addressed the crime rate and said he remains prepared to work with the Opposition and other stakeholders to find ways to curb crime.
He shared that since the PNM returned to office, the UNC refuses to cooperate with them to find bipartisan solutions to crime.

Rowley also said no government can be efficiently run on the basis of “rampant populism.”
“It has gotten to the point where certain politicians see the country’s success as the government’s success, especially if they are in power”.
He said he never envisioned himself in the political arena with people “for whom criminal conduct is not a disqualifier.” He recalled when he first entered politics in 1987 as an opposition senator.
