Lead Editor – Politics[email protected]The slow issuance of passport booklets is continuing as immigration officials attempt to stretch Trinidad and Tobago’s remaining stock until a new shipment is expected in September. Information obtained by Guardian Media indicates that officials remain under pressure to carefully manage the dwindling inventory, with the existing supply now understood to be at a critically low level. As a result, passport applications continue to be processed at a slower pace as authorities ration the available stock while awaiting additional supplies. The objective, sources said, is to ensure sufficient passport booklets remain available until fresh supplies arrive in September. However, the ministry did not disclose how many passport booklets remained in stock.
