Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar says Republic Day celebrations will continue.
Speaking in the House of Representatives on Friday, she dismissed claims that the activities had been cancelled. Her statement follows a post circulating on social media indicating that all activities were called off.
“There is some news circulating that the Republic Day Awards function has been cancelled. I have no knowledge of that. We met in Cabinet up to yesterday. We are fully committed, and we will be proceeding with the Republic Day Awards function.”
