Speaking during a virtual political campaign meeting on Thursday, the former prime minister told supporters, āI am not a perfect person. Like the rest of us, I have good days and I have bad days. I face the same stresses and aches that any normal person goes through on a daily basis.
āWe are humans but I do care for and love all of you. To those who may have been hurt by any decision I have made, I apologise. It is never my intention to cause pain. I have learnt from the mistakes of the past and that is why I have rebuilt our party over the past five years.ā

Persad-Bissessar also spoke about the PNMās Covid-19 response plan saying that if the Government had properly dealt with the issue from beginning, there would not be the rise in the number of cases as have been reported recently.
On Thursday, Trinidad and Tobago reported more than 200 cases of the virus.

āWe know they have failed to manage the Covid, because we are seeing more cases coming up,ā she said.
She also questioned where the new cases were arising from if Trinidad and Tobago borders remained closed saying the UNCās nine-point plan to fight the virus would be more effective.

Outlining the partyās plans for progress should they get back into Government, Persad-Bissessar focused on job creation, economic stability and environmental measures that includes the discontinued use of plastic straws. Her plans were solid and not āfly by nightā as suggested by the Peopleās National Movement (PNM), she said.
The PNMās plans were actually ācut and pasteā from the UNCās she added.
And Persad-Bissessar emphasised that should be become the next Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, no-one would lose their jobs due to party alliance or ethnic background.

Talking about job security, Persad-Bissessar said citizens of this country have never lost so many jobs as under the present PNM administration andĀ that her plan to create 5000 jobs especially for university graduates was sustainable and financially feasible. This plan she intends to roll out from October 2020.
