Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) deputy political leader Dr Faith BYisrael says while she supports the use of pepper spray as a mechanism to protect vulnerable women, the issues surrounding violence requires a holistic approach.
Attorney General Faris Al Rawi speaking on a PNM platform in Belmont last week said the National Security Council had approved the use of pepper spray and other non-lethal devices.
Al Rawi said he has already drafted law, on the direction of the Prime Minister and National Security Minister Stuart Young, who sought advice from experts on implementing the policy. On Friday, the Prime Minister said in Parliament the Cabinet would consider the AG’s proposed regulations but noted the use of pepper spray would require a permit.
