Abdulah criticises PM’s Caricom summit absence

Political Leader of the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ), David Abdulah, has expressed disappointment over Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s decision not to attend the Caricom Heads of Government meeting in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Speaking during a Zoom press conference on 6 July, Abdulah voiced concern not only over Persad-Bissessar’s absence but also the country’s economic challenges and what he described as a misplaced political focus.

He stressed the need for long-term structural reforms over symbolic leadership changes and advocated for greater regional co-operation, economic diversification, and local empowerment.
