Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar will make her first official visit to Tobago from November 3, following an invitation from Chief Secretary Farley Augustine.
Official events begin with a special sitting of the Assembly Legislature from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Clerk of the Assembly Lincoln Nelson issued the notice for the sitting last week.
Persad-Bissessar and Attorney General John Jeremie will also meet with Augustine to discuss Tobago’s autonomy. Other Cabinet Ministers are expected to hold meetings with their respective line secretaries of the Tobago House of Assembly.
Accompanying the Prime Minister on the visit will be Attorney General John Jeremie, Jearlean John, Barry Padarath, Saddam Hosein, Davendranath Tancoo, Michael Dowlath, Roger Alexander, and Dominic Smith. Permanent Secretary to the Prime Minister and Head of the Public Service Natasha Barrow will also join the delegation.
In a statement, the Office of the Chief Secretary said it looked forward to welcoming the Prime Minister and her Cabinet members and to strengthening collaboration between the Central Government and the Tobago House of Assembly in advancing the island’s development agenda.
