PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has said that her country will not be “held to ransom” as she accused some Caribbean Community (Caricom) countries of siding with Venezuela over the ongoing security situation in the region.

“Caricom is proving to be unreliable partners in some regards. Some of our Caricom partners have chosen Venezuela over Trinidad and Tobago and that is something we need to remember,” Persad-Bissessar said, during a live interview on the Crime Watch programme with Ian Alleyne on Monday night.

she’s an unreliable drunk

@Slipfeeler

She is talking about MAM

she is running up against the wrong person

cos MAM would eat and spit her out

@sudden

It best that she does not mess with the Caribbean PM, for she doesn’t mince words.

@Chrissy

Have you seen her drunk?

Your senility is showing...😡

Sodden

The only thing you and Mam can do is eat more than Kamla at a buffet table at Chefette.

If one of your fat asses falls on her, she will be hospitalized.😠

@sgtdjones

Brother if you think what Kamla is doing is Leadership... Then I very sorry for you.

she has done nothing for TT except whine whinge waffle and waver

 Kamla Inherits a Country Running on Fumes

Kamla Persad-Bissessar hasn’t inherited a government; she’s inherited a crime scene. Less than five months of food reserves, a near-empty Heritage and Stabilization Fund, and a budget strangled by debt servicing paint a picture of a state teetering on financial collapse. Meanwhile, the machinery of governance is corroded: nine years without audited accounts, an auditor general denied access to key documents, and a string of politically connected contracts that bled millions from the treasury.

This isn’t merely mismanagement; it’s institutional decay. Under the previous PNM administration, Cabinet recusals and insider payouts became routine; a culture where conflict of interest was governance by default. Kamla’s task is not just to steady the books but to confront the rot that made this collapse inevitable.

Her response must be ruthless and transparent. Restoring credibility requires forensic audits, criminal referrals, and complete public disclosure; these are not optional. Her government will become just another chapter in the same pattern of corruption cloaked in campaign rhetoric if she insists on optics instead, inquiries with no results, and reform talk with no teeth.

An additional political caretaker is beyond Trinidad and Tobago's means. Instead of a reset button, the nation needs a reckoning. Now is Kamla's chance to either be remembered as the leader who kept this crisis alive or as the person who broke the system that caused it.

It's strange with your PNM underwear you didn't see such but her complaints. Don't feel sorry for me; my responses are factual.

Bang on! 😎

Bang on? ...

Which political Organisation has present and past Ministers before the courts on crminal charges?

Even their appointed speaker of the house is an ex-convict who spent 5 years in prison .. Lol

A group f thieves and convicts with a well-oiled propaganda machine, led by the likes of people llike Granite, BeatDball and STD

@BeatDball

Notice how they avoid refuting the facts that I post...obfuscation at its best.

@Chrissy

Why are you pissing in Kamla's pot? What compels you to stir such nastiness towards her?

FFS woman it is time to curb your toxic rhetoric. Your pattern of bigotry and racially charged disdain toward people of “Hindian” heritage, especially those from the Caribbean and Guyana, has been exposed time and again. The hostility you parade as opinion is nothing more than bigotry and prejudice in plain sight.

Your behavior is as transparent as it is disgraceful. Time to fcuking stop your nonsense.

"Karma" does have a way of catching up to your actions...

Imagine calling your family & friends ‘unreliable’, and running to pay obeisance to the Orange Slob.

What manner of Lady is this!

No neeed for surprise. She was one of the first to support the tangerine tyrant's "appointed" president Juan Guaidó in his first attempt at regime change.

She was also the one who, when assuming government in her previous term, did an about turn insofar as TnT recognizing the Caribbean court of justice because according to her, there were not enough Indian people on the bench !!

@Halliwell

You make comments without any factual proof. You will make a good painter with your broad brush.

Let’s not romanticize what’s really going on here. Caribbean leaders defending Madero aren’t doing it out of solidarity or moral conviction; they’re doing it because cheap oil and gas buy silence. It’s transactional diplomacy dressed up as principle. Thousands of Venezuelans living in Trinidad and Tobago could tell you stories that shatter that illusion in seconds. They didn’t flee paradise; they fled failure.

And Kamla—she’s not mincing words. She said that if Venezuela invades Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago will support the United States. That's a shot across the bow, not diplomacy. She’s calling out the hypocrisy of those parroting “the Caribbean is an area of peace” while their own backyards rot with corruption, drugs, and murder. What peace are we talking about, exactly?

Kamla’s critics may brand her position as obsequious, but her supporters see defiance. The truth, as usual, sits somewhere in between: a mix of strategy, frustration, and the desire to look decisive in an era when no one else wants to take a stand.

@sgtdjones yep; a lot of tap dancing whereas I like dancehall reggae! The fools will not stop! 😊

@sgtdjones

TTs Opposition and many West Indians on this MB would rather back a Spanish version of "Papa Doc"Duvallier,Maduro as we know is no different from him,hundreds of his Army are running away together with ordinary people,many are in Prisons all over Venezuela for talking about the state Venezuela is presently experiencing,Maduro has set up an equvalent of the"Ton Ton Macoutes" of Haiti,any citizen talk and Mr.Maduro find out what yuh say,goodbye prison or even death, that is how bad this Dictator is..

Anything Maduro does is illegal he is not the true and legal President of Venezuela,it is not to long when he walks away or is taken out,Hopefully the PNM leader Madam Beckles can go with him.

Do we really want a Papa Doc next door.
