Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar SC has commended members of her party who have stood steadfast through what she calls years of pressure and hostility.
Addressing UNC membership during the party’s christmas fundraiser on Saturday Mrs Persad Bissessar also thanked those who did not walk away from the party during their time in opposition.
She said even for her, as she reflects from the position of Prime Minister, she can recall the most difficult times leading up to today.
She said they endured because they had a vision and a mission to build a better nation. The Prime minister said this loyalty and faith is what guides her on how to lead and serve. She noted that the last seven months has seen delivery at an unprecedented pace. Despite this she had a stern message for her MPs, Senators and Ministers that there was a lot of work to be done in the new year.
