In a Facebook post, Rowley sharply criticised Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, accusing her Government of being “spiteful, vindictive and incompetent in the extreme.” The former prime minister also responded to a previous remark by Persad-Bissessar in which she referred to him as an “Oreo.” Questioning recent comments by the Prime Minister about awaiting developments in “foreign jurisdictions,” Rowley said the Government had spent a month making allegations but had failed to lay criminal charges. “The government must end the state of emergency NOW!” Rowley wrote.
