Trinidad and Tobago's Newsday "“I do not have a drinking problem.”
With those words Siparia MP Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday dismissed speculation about her drinking habits which surfaced when political leader Basdeo Panday claimed she had a serious personal problem which made her unfit to lead the UNC.
Persad-Bissessar described the rumours as “total falsehood” and said she sees Panday’s strong suggestion that they were true as part of a smear campaign to derail her chances of being elected political leader. She is challenging Panday and Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj for the position.
“The propaganda, the lies, the half-truths and innuendos you are familiar with that phrase I’m sure. I deny the allegations that have been made but I want to go further to say they want to win so they are appearing to be using various strategies,” Persad-Bissessar told reporters at Rienzi Complex, Couva yesterday."
