The Opposition leader, Kamla Persad Bissessar has rightfully taken a strong position against any attempt to make this happen. So has other public voices and civil groups. The unfortunate reality is that the government only needs a simple majority – which the PNM has – to pass this very questionable bill. However there is some hope to stymie this in the case that it does get past the parliament. The way the system works is that the President, Paula Mae-Weekes, doesn't have to sign any bill that comes on her desk. She is another check, one of the few, on a government that appears to be pushing through legislation that would allow them free reign with no transparency on their actions.
