Trinidad and Tobago has raised concerns over the re-election of Caricom Secretary General Dr Carla Barnett, saying it was excluded from the decision-making process.
Foreign and Caricom Affairs Minister Sean Sobers told Guardian Media that while the Government has no personal issue with Dr Barnett, it is dissatisfied with the process used at the 50th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government held from February 24 to 27.
The Government has formally written to the Caricom chairman and the Prime Minister of St Kitts and Nevis, Terrance Drew, outlining its objections to the manner in which the reappointment of Carla Barnett was handled.
In correspondence dated March 25, Sobers said T&T was neither included in discussions nor allowed to participate in deliberations surrounding the Secretary-General’s second term.
