Don’t confuse autonomy with self determination

“Do not confuse autonomy with self-determination!” This warning comes from Watson Duke, political leader of the Progressive Democratic Patriots. He pointed out that the Chief Secretary used “self-determination” and “autonomy” interchangeably in his televised address, a move Duke believes is incorrect. Speaking at a press conference at the PDP’s headquarters in Scarborough, Duke stressed the importance of the public understanding the distinction between the two concepts.
