PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Saturday warned criminals that she will not hesitate to impose another State of Emergency (SoE) if criminal activity resumes.

She made the comment on Facebook as the SoE implemented in July comes to an end. More than a hundred suspects who were detained under the SoE regulations and not charged have been released.

Persad-Bissessar said, “Your UNC government and the security services are prepared for the end of the SOE. I never cared about the tired, outdated woke, race baiting, and bigoted propaganda and I still don’t. If anyone wants to mash up the place and burn down the country, go ahead, that’s your democratic choice.

“However, anyone wanting to do this should understand by now that I am willing to do what it takes to keep decent, law-abiding citizens safe, so be certain that I will meet you head-on. Those who commit brutality against law-abiding citizens will be met with brutality from me that’s a promise.”

She said with the assistance of the United Stated and the leadership of Police Commissioner Allister Guevarro, there was a reduction in murders last year.

Persad-Bissessar said, “It’s a reality that the combination of American assistance to secure our borders, the competent leadership of COP Allister Guevarro, and the incarceration of the persons detained under the SOE using PDO’s, all contributed to 257 less murders in 2025 compared to 2024.”

She again linked the Opposition PNM to the local drug mafia.

Persad-Bissessar said, “The PNM and the local drug mafia financiers erroneously believe that the higher the number of citizens who are murdered, raped, robbed, and terrorized, the higher would their chances be of getting back into government. They appear very angry that 257 citizens are alive today, who would have been murdered if the 2024 homicide trend had continued.

“The local drug mafia financiers’ money laundering business fronts cannot survive without their PNM stooges manipulating economic, national security, and financial policies and institutions.”

She said, “The PNM government of the last ten years operated as a narco government and enabled the murder, rape, and terrorizing of our citizens because PNM policies were crafted in paedophile lodges, restaurant backrooms, and yachts down the islands to benefit the local drug mafia financiers.

“Your UNC government is committed to brutally destroying the local drug mafia and the violent gangs that they finance. The narco influence in government affairs and policy ended with the removal of the PNM on April 28th 2025 (general elections).”
