Economist slams autonomy bill: An illusion to fool unwary Tobagonians

KINNESHA GEORGE-HARRY and COREY CONNELLY Economist Dr Vanus James has described the Draft Constitution Amendment Bill (Tobago Self Government Bill) as a constitutional illusion. James, a Progressive Democratic Patriots (PDP) supporter, said the draft bill, currently made public by Parliament s Joint Select Committee for consideration, does not allow Tobagonians the equality they desire. In a recent interview, James told Newsday the promises in the explanatory note, that Tobagonians will be able to make their own choices and manage their own affairs, are blocked by many specific provisions of the bill. He said, “Indeed, the proposed Constitution Amendment Bill is a kind of constitutional illusion designed to fool the unwary Tobagonian into seeing two things that are not really there – equality of status and self-determination.”
