Three days after she made a request for a meeting with  Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley the Opposition Leader is reporting that meeting will be held at noon on Friday.

They will both meet at the Office of the Prime Minister, Red House.

The Opposition Leader requested the meeting- for bipartisan talks- in a letter dated March 16th. On that day at a Post Cabinet News briefing Dr Rowley said he did not see the benefits of bipartisan talks with Mrs Persad- Bissessar.

“By letter dated March 17, 2020, the Permanent Secretary to the Prime Minister, Mr Maurice Suite indicated that he was directed by the Prime Minister to advise me that he has set the date for this meeting for Friday,” Mrs Bissessar said in a news release on Thursday morning.

“Mr Suite also stated that the Prime Minister has also agreed with my proposed suggestion of a three-member Opposition delegation in attendance at said meeting.

 “The Opposition intends to raise several key issues and concerns that are deeply affecting citizens of Trinidad and Tobago during this very trying economic, social and medical period,” she said.

  “The Opposition UNC will duly inform the population as to the outcome of this meeting,” Mrs Bissessar promised.
