Manning and Panday meet
Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday and Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Patrick Manning met yesterday.
The two men, who have been at loggerheads in recent years, have
decided “to work towards agreeing to a new constitution” during the
existing parliamentary term which ends in December 2012.
However, Manning and Panday were unable to agree on a key aspect of the
Opposition’s proposals during the hour-long talks on the issue.
The meeting was held at the Diplomatic Centre, St Ann’s. It was
Panday’s first visit to the Diplomatic Centre, which he has publicly
criticised as being too expensive.
