THE Government’s handling of Covid-19 is sewing the seeds of civil unrest.
This is the view Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar in a statement on Saturday.
She said, “Rowley must realise that as we continue to lose lives on a daily basis, as business and livelihoods are destroyed and worse, as innocent elderly citizens may have been infected at that sham of a rollout, the seeds of civil unrest are being planted and watered.
“Hundreds of thousands of people are without work, unable to provide food for their families, unable to pay bills, or unable to pay their rents. A virus of poverty is also sweeping our nation with no plan in place to resuscitate our economy. Rowley must accept help from stakeholders and make changes to his failed team. We cannot have a 1990 repeat.”
Referring to Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley’s press conference on Saturday, she said he admitted that he was lying and misleading the country, for months now.
She said Dr Rowley was now forced to openly admit that:
(1) We do not have enough vaccines;
(2) That we are not sure when we are getting more vaccines; and
(3) That we must live with this sad reality.
She said Dr Rowley presented no plan, admitted to a big lie about vaccines and presented no hope to our citizens.
Persad-Bissessar said, “Most dangerously, he clearly is not going to make any real changes that are necessary to save lives. He is keeping the same failed medical team now turned propaganda team of Deyalsingh, Parasram, Abdool Richards, Hinds and Trotman.
“These people have been in charge for over 15 months and led us into this disaster of over 600 deaths. Continuing with them in charge is deadly, and amounts to premeditated, state-sanctioned murder.”
She said Dr Rowley’s incompetence has officially made him delusional.
Persad-Bissessar said, “Everything he said last week he came back and debunked today. He compares us to Haiti, the poorest country in the western hemisphere! Does he say we have the best vaccination process in CARICOM or the world? Madness is defined by the inability to recognise reality; this is clearly his permanent state of being right now.”
