    PERSAD-BISSESSAR...tabled Bill for debate which, among other provisions, restricts term limits for a prime minister and parliamentarians.

    TRINIDAD and Tobago's House of Representatives tomorrow begins debate on a unique Bill for constitutional changes in parliamentary representation which gives new meaning to multiparty electoral democracy.

    That's the assurance given last Monday by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, a former attorney general of the twin-island republic, when she tabled a pace-setting Constitutional (Amendment) Bill 2014 that, among other provisions, restricts term limits for a prime minister as well as parliamentarians.

    Additionally, her signature piece of legislation would also give -- for the first time in the history of parliamentary democracy in the entire English-speaking Caribbean -- the right of voters in any defined constituency to recall parliamentary representatives outside scheduled national elections.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    "restricts term limits for a prime minister and parliamentarians." is a good thing! Too many tired politicians who are leaches on taxpayers.

      Don't be fooled by a Trojan horse. There are other reasons for this according to current discussions.
