Xavier Edwardz -
Young conscious musician/artist Xavier Edwardz has said criticism of the Tobago "autonomy" bills must not be dismissed as anti-PNM rhetoric.
Edwardz spoke to Newsday on Wednesday after Parliament debated the Constitutional Amendment (Internal Self-Government) Bill and Tobago Island Government Bill.
The Prime Minister, in his contribution on Tuesday, said the United National Congress (UNC) and certain Tobagonians were opposing the legislation because they felt they were “doing the PNM something.”
He addressed the positions of named detractors of the bill and questioned whether they were qualified to speak for Tobago.
Dr Rowley said former chief secretary Hochoy Charles had served Tobago well in the past but questioned his relevance today,
