The Tobago Assembly Legislature, Scarborough. PHOTO BY JEFF K MAYERS - Economist Anslem Richards believes the Tobago Island Administration Bill being reviewed by the Joint Select Committee (JSC) before its debate in Parliament, defeats the purpose of Tobago autonomy. He believes solely Tobago should debate and shape the bill before making it law. Richards said the Tobago Self-Government Bill and the Tobago Island Administration Bill are designed to frustrate the island’s decades-long fight for self-government. The bills are meant to give the island greater autonomy in managing its affairs. The Joint Select Committee (JSC), which reviewed both pieces of legislation, recently held three public consultations to gauge feedback, two in Tobago and one in Trinidad.
