The United National Congress (UNC) choice to side with Allen Chastanet, the opposition leader of St. Lucia, has prompted a response from Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley.
In his first installment of Conversations with the Prime Minister for 2024, Dr. Rowley took a direct shot at Trinidad and Tobago’s crime problem. He stated that although the President did not receive a response to his request that the Parliamentary bench from all parties convene on the issue, the Opposition appeared to have turned their focus elsewhere.

At the Opposition’s anti-crime Town Hall in Sangre Grande, Chastanet made an appearance and commended UNC political leader Kamla Persad Bissessar for her strategy of taking on the administration. For the opposition leaders to be more powerful in their regions, he also urged them to band together.
Recalling Chastanet’s problems with maintaining power in his nation, Dr. Rowley promised that his administration would take all necessary steps to lower crime in Trinidad and Tobago.
