Full statement by Kamla Persad-Bissessar:"One step closer to liberating Trinidad and Tobago. One step closer to government. That is how I see my assumption of the post of Opposition Leader this afternoon.
"Our party now speaks with one voice. We will chart a new way forward to deliver on the hopes and expectations of a citizenry desperate for a way out of the crisis which the Manning administration has led this nation into.
"I oppose the poverty, the fear, the squandering of our nation's resources, the ineptitide and corruption.
"I oppose the arrogance and self-glorification of the current leadership in the PNM; I oppose the lack of compassion and concern for the well being of citizens so many of whom are ironically supporters of the ruling party; I oppose the trampling of the rights of workers; I oppose the view that people will vote only along tribal and ethnic lines regardless of whether they are being properly represented or not.
"But my greatest opposition is to the sense that things cannot be changed. I pledge to the nation that Trinidad and Tobago will be returned to the peaceful, stable and progressive society it once was."
