With 3 weeks to go till Election Day there are more questions from the Opposition on what is the process used to determine who is granted exemptions.

Kamla Persad Bissessar is insisting, government must find ways of bringing home those stuck in foreign countries.

Mrs. Bissessar is still not pleased with the method being used by the government to repatriate nationals, affected by the COVID-triggered border closures.

The government of Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley have confirmed thousands have already been brought back, and there are others to come.

She said the government’s way so far is hurting families and dousing hopes.

At the unveiling of the UNC’s candidates for August 10^th, which was aired last Saturday, Mrs. Persad Bissessar also suggested a program, which she believes, would help people who are yet to return to work because of COVID measures.

It is called a ‘wage subsidy’. 

She said her team is putting the pieces together before she is able to give more information on the ‘wage subsidy’.
