Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar says the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al

Move­ment-run cor­po­ra­tions tried to frus­trate Gov­ern­ment's Clean Up

and Beau­ti­fy cam­paign by re­fus­ing to be part of the dri­ve. This, she said, is ev­i­dence that the PNM will seek to ham­per the progress of Gov­ern­ment's work should the op­po­si­tion par­ty cap­ture any cor­po­ra­tions in to­mor­row's Lo­cal Gov­ern­ment elec­tions.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar, speak­ing to sup­port­ers at Skin­ner's Park, San Fer­nan­do last evening, said when they en­gaged in the na­tion­wide cleanup cam­paign the PNM con­trolled Cor­po­ra­tions gave "re­sis­tance, re­sis­tance." She said while cit­i­zens heed­ed her call to clean their en­vi­ron­ment the Cor­po­ra­tions did not clean drains nor did they col­lect garbage. "They could not sep­a­rate par­ty," she said.

Per­sad-Bisses­sar called on sup­port­ers to com­plete the PP's vic­to­ry

by en­sur­ing that the PNM is "swept" by the "tor­na­do" of change. She said Ju­ly 26 is not about "win­ning cor­po­ra­tions but co-op­er­a­tion."

The Prime Min­is­ter said PNM leader Dr Kei­th Row­ley has noth­ing

to of­fer the na­tion and should be re­ject­ed at the polls. To­mor­row marks two months since the PP's vic­to­ry at the Gen­er­al Elec­tion polls.
