THA picong for Kamla in House

by

Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) MP Colm Im­bert ap­peared to make Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar see slight­ly red yes­ter­day, when he ac­cused her of wear­ing the PNM's sig­na­ture colour while leav­ing To­ba­go yes­ter­day. "To­tal­ly false!" Per­sad-Bisses­sar re­tort­ed when Im­bert re­peat­ed the ac­cu­sa­tion twice in Par­lia­ment yes­ter­day.

Peo­ple's Part­ner­ship MP Roodal Mooni­lal al­so said Im­bert was in­cor­rect. Speak­ing dur­ing de­bate on a fi­nance bill, Im­bert teased the Gov­ern­ment with the PNM's To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly vic­to­ry sweep. He said his "spies" had told him the PM was wear­ing red when she was leav­ing the Co­co Reef ho­tel in To­ba­go yes­ter­day to re­turn to Trinidad.

PNM MPs in Par­lia­ment were all in some form of cel­e­bra­to­ry red yes­ter­day. When Per­sad-Bisses­sar, dressed in dark green, en­tered at 2 pm, PNM whip Mar­lene Mc­Don­ald glee­ful­ly gave her a thumbs-up, sig­nalling plea­sure at the PNM's vic­to­ry. Im­bert, claim­ing the PM was wear­ing red ear­li­er, said she had since changed. When Per­sad-Bisses­sar loud­ly cor­rect­ed him, Im­bert re­tort­ed, "Yeah, and all you win ten seats too."

Im­bert said the Gov­ern­ment might have re­quired some form of group ther­a­py af­ter Mon­day's de­feat, while those on the PNM's side would have pre­ferred to be el­swhere cel­e­brat­ing. He added: "It was wet­ting af­ter wet­ting. That was a lick­ing, boy! Some so bazodee with licks, the D'Abadie MP (Anil Roberts) and Pointe-a-Pierre MP are wear­ing ties that are al­most red to­day."

Im­bert said he was in To­ba­go for the elec­tion and had seen a Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty he­li­copter wait­ing to fer­ry peo­ple back and forth to cam­paign meet­ings. Say­ing the he­li­copters were not taxis, Im­bert said To­bag­o­ni­ans were against such things and the elec­tion was a to­tal re­jec­tion of the Gov­ern­ment's eco­nom­ic poli­cies.
