1 min read

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, Dec. 30, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago’s Acting Attorney General Stuart Young says a public state of emergency (SoE) was declared due to the threat to national security posed by reprisal killings and the use of high-powered weapons.

Speaking during a press breifing on Monday shortly after Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley declared a State of Emergency, Young sought to assure the nation that the country’s economy would not be impacted as there would be no curfew and business would continue.
