(Trinidad Express) Opposi-tion Leader Dr Keith Rowley is calling on citizens not to be distracted by the “cat” comment controversy which he has labelled as a matter of “very little public interest.”
And he has not apologised for making the statement.
Speaking at a People’s National Movement (PNM) political meeting in Brazil, East Trinidad, on Tuesday night, Rowley made a statement which has provoked a firestorm from some sectors.
“She could jump high, she could jump low, she could drink this, she could drink that, she could bark at meh dog, I go ignore she cat,” Rowley said in reference to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Tuesday night.
Persad-Bissessar condemned Rowley’s comments and labelled them an attack on every woman in this country.
A number of leaders from women’s organisations across the country, including president of the National Muslim Women’s Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago Soraya Khan, have called on Rowley to apologise for his comments.
