Kamla knocks Hinds’ “Kill them dead” remark

The Opposition leader continued, “Given the crime situation, given the insecurity, you have a Minister of Government with this hate talk promoting violence from a PNM platform.” She called on Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley to distance himself from Hinds’ statements.

She further asked the Commissioner of Police to provide protection for her supporters and placed them all on “high alert.” “Security alert to all UNC supporters...all UNC candidates, be on high alert because you have Minister Hinds telling people to kill you dead. Shocking!” Later in her speech, the former Prime Minister responded to Rowley’s assertion that the Housing Development Corporation contracts which she claimed were given to Energy Minister Franklin Khan’s wife and Finance Minister Colm Imbert’s wife, were actually given by her People’s Partnership government.

“Those two contracts I spoke about were never given out by the Partnership (administration) they were given out by the PNM. For people who spend five years crying all over the country saying that my government only gave contracts to friends and family, they rushing, they hurry now to say my government gave their ministers’ wives contracts.”
