Jack explains "kiss of death" statement

Jack Warner seized the opportunity Tuesday to explain a statement he made with respect to his relationship with PRime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

The Works Minister said on Monday he was when a Prime Minister embraces you "it is normally a kiss of death".

Speaking with reporters during a tour of several areas in the constituencies of Moruga/Tableland and Naparima, Warner explained what he meant.

"If the Prime Minister embraces you there are people who are envious and want to watch you bad eye...That's what I meant," he said. 

The minister added, "Anybody has to be careful because anytime a Prime Minister embraces you, people may tend to be envious and jealous and she might do that in good faith. I didn't mean much more than that. Don't put too much into that either. You guys read too much into some things that are said."
