PNM, UNC spar over COVID measures
But PNM Communication manager Laurel Lezama-Lee Sing immediately slammed Persad-Bissessar's criticisms over the Government's handling of the pandemic. “She is holding T&T hostage to the UNC's recount of election results, which has delayed the appointment of a new Government to even meet in Cabinet, yet she talks about a 'crisis'?'' Lezama-Lee Sing said.
Farrell urges UNC to end farcical recounts
In a brief letter to the Editor on Friday, Farrell observed that "Trinidad and Tobago is now experiencing a public health emergency given the exponential increase in COVID-19 cases." This, he said, "requires a functional Cabinet and Minister of Health to promulgate the changes in the regulations to bring the spread under control."
What PNM faces, UNC refuses to face...
CoP: 'My cockroach is different to your cockroach'
COMMISSIONER OF POLICE GARY GRIFFITH, in warning people against making racist, divisive, or possibly seditious remarks on social media, was careful to clarify his own remarks in calling criminal elements “cockroaches.”
Griffith: Tone down race talk
USING social media to threaten rape, murder or violence, or inciting such actions against a person through that medium, could get you arrested and charged.
Cops say racist comments could lead to charges
“A seditious intention is an intention to raise discontent or dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of Trinidad and Tobago,” Deputy Commissioner Jayson Forde said as he read from the Sedition Act during a press conference at Police Administration Building in Port-of-Spain.

Drawing the line against racism
The speed with which the bottom fell out of the market for Ramsaran's Dairy Products is the first major impact of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in Trinidad and Tobago. For years, the fight against racism has been left to individuals struggling to be heard in a void of indifference that included corporate Trinidad and Tobago. But the world has changed. Today, the globalisation of ideas and markets creates chain reactions with repercussions both unintended and unexpected.
Volney tells Kamla: 'Karma is coming'
In a post on his Facebook page, Volney expressed his disgust at statements by UNC St Joseph candidate Alhoy Hunt about the recount of votes in that seat.The former St Joseph MP said Hunt and his associates do not understand that a "recount is not an election petition but a ministerial or administrative event conducted by the EBC (Elections and Boundaries Commission) to confirm the count returned on election night when the polls were closed."
Panday: Kamla is the UNC's business
He also said neither the PNM nor the UNC want to undertake the constitutional reform that will make racial and ethnic voting a thing of the past, pointing out that both parties had constitutional majorities under Dr Eric Williams and Persad-Bissessar, but did not undertake any constitutional reform.
UNC: Unpaid Tunapuna workers frustrated with police, not party
The UNC said while the people arrived at the campaign office to be compensated for work accrued during the elections the process was interrupted and subsequently halted by police officers who raised objections based on the Public Health Ordinance regarding covid19.

“The penalty for engaging in that activity, if you are found guilty, is $50,000 or three years hard labour,” Forde said.
'Someone took my little girl'
THE Anti-Kidnapping Unit has intervened in the disappearance of a form five student of the Marabella South Secondary School. Princess Phillips, 18, had vanished days after she reported to her parents she was followed by a group of men in a car on her way home from classes.
