KAMLA's OFFICIAL VEHICLE STOLEN BY ARMED GANG...NIECE ROBBED.... Dangerous
THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION
MEDIA STATEMENT
The official vehicle of the Prime Ministerial candidate of the People’s Partnership and Opposition Leader, Kamla Persad Bissessar was hijacked in the vicinity of the Tunapuna Hindu School at approximately 2:30 p.m. this afternoon.. The vehicle, described as a midnight blue Prado bearing the licence plate PCJ 3 in which Mrs Persad Bissessar’s niece, Lisa Harry, was travelling along with her driver was intercepted by an armed gang driving a silver Almera with the licence plate PCH 8663. The gang robbed Miss Harry and the driver before throwing them out of the vehicle.
It was fortunate that Mrs. Persad Bissessar was not in the official vehicle at the time. The People’s Partnership Leader described the incident as traumatic and typical of what occurs across the country every single day. The matter main gain greater importance because it happened to be the official vehicle of the Political Leader but these experiences are what has unfortunately become the sad state of affairs in the nation where noone, not even Ms. Persad Bissessar can take their personal safety and that of their family for granted.
The flippant manner in which the Political Leader of the People’s National Movement and Prime Minister Patrick Manning dealt with the nation’s crime by describing it as collateral damage and his updating of that position when he reacted to the threat on Ms. Persad Bissessar’s life as a hoax, underscores the root of the problem where the leader of the country displays such scant regard for what has become a national crisis. Ms. Persad Bissessar said she does not wish to personalize the incident since it is no different from what her fellow citizens have to endure.
New security measures will be taken to address the renewed threats to the Prime Ministerial candidate of the People’s Partnership.
