Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has written to Opposition Leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, "aimed at exploring the options available to us, as Parliamentarians, to address the matter of the safety and security of the population."
In the letter dated September 16, Dr Rowley requested, in writing, the Opposition Leader's proposals for bipartisan discussions between the Government and the Opposition.
"The Government is also prepared to share with you its own ideas, programs and policies for inclusion in these discussions," the Prime Minister wrote.
Rowley said after the Opposition's proposals are made, both parties can move to establish teams comprising four (4) members each, from both the Government and the Opposition, to discuss the initiatives proposed.
The letter stated, "These teams will be guided by a crafted agenda formed from our joint submissions which I anticipate we could have in hand within the coming fortnight."
