Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says her husband, Dr Gregory Bissessar, accompanied her on an official trip to China in 2014.
She also said she wanted to tell Independent Liberal Party (ILP) leader Jack Warner to go to France in response to an allegation of her losing money and other matters while on that China visit. However, she said she realised he could not leave hic country because of his legal struggles.
She made the comments during a UNC meeting at the St Helena Hindu Primary School last night, in response to allegations Warner made during an ILP meeting this week.
Warner had said he wanted to know who was in a hotel room close to the PM in China.
But last night Persad-Bissessar told her supporters, “One side of the gruesome twosome is talking about China and France. Well you really want to know who went with me to China? Do you really want to know? Dr Gregory Bissessar, he accompanied me to China on a state visit.”
She also said Warner was asking questions about her trip to France and she wished she could tell him to go to France.
“But the poor man, he can’t go nowhere, he cannot got to any country in the world,” she said, referring to Warner’s bail bond which keeps him in the country.
Former deputy ILP leader Anna Deonarine also appeared on the platform, saying she left Warner’s party because he failed to honour a promise he made to her in 2013.
Deonarine said Warner had promised to return to the UNC/PP after he was re-elected in the July 29 Chaguanas West by-election. She said, however, that he did not and instead now seemed to be in an alliance with the People’s National Movement.
“I assisted the man who pulled off what can easily be described as the greatest political con job against you the members of the United National Congress and the Partnership.”
