Seeking to correct what it said were major failings on the part of the previous administration, government yesterday launched a two-year Plan of Action to combat Trafficking in Persons (TIP) even as President David Granger underscored the importance of enforcing the laws to ensure that traffickers are successfully prosecuted and the vulnerable protected.
