Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said on Sunday the coalition that she heads is strong and there is no need for concern.
Persad-Bissessar is leader of the United National congress (UNC), the principal partner in the coalition, which comprises the Congress of the People (COP), the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ), the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) and the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC).
She spoke with reporters at the Larry Gomes Stadium in Arima on day two of her annual children's toy drive. She handed out 8,000 toys in San Fernando on Saturday and said she expected that 10,000 kids would get theirs at Arima.
The UNC leader was responding to comments made earlier by COP leader Prakash Ramadhar who called for a meeting of the five People's Partnership leaders before the end of the year.

Ramadhar said it is critical that such a meeting be convened urgently to discuss the government's performance and deal with issues of concern to supports and the national community.
