PNM Tobago council disappointed over autonomy bill proceedings.
While many had hoped that the Tobago Autonomy Bill would have passed the committee stage of parliament yesterday, that was not the case. The bills, aimed at granting the Tobago House of Assembly greater jurisdiction over its affairs, were rejected by the UNC due to concerns over proposed amendments. Minority Leader Kelvon Morris and PNM Senator Laurence Hislop both criticised the bill’s handling, with Morris emphasizing the missed potential for increased financial resources for Tobago.
