The Tobago Chamber of Industry & Commerce has urged Prime Minister Stuart Young to forge a constructive relationship with the Tobago House of Assembly (THA).

Curtis Williams, the chamber’s president, emphasized the importance of integrity and commitment to national unity in Young’s governance. He underscored the necessity for Young’s administration to engage closely with the THA to address the unique needs of Tobago, ensuring that its development aligns with Trinidad’s progress.
Williams highlighted that Tobago deserves equitable development, improved infrastructure, and more decision-making autonomy. He urged the Prime Minister to focus on meaningful engagement with Tobagonians and push for policies that encourage sustainable economic growth for both islands. This call for collaboration comes ahead of the announcement of the general elections, slated for April 28, made by the Office of the Prime Minister.
The Tobago Chamber of Industry & Commerce has called on Prime Minister Stuart Young to establish a strong partnership with the THA to ensure Tobago’s needs are met. The chamber emphasizes equitable development and greater autonomy for Tobago, urging the Prime Minister to engage with local stakeholders. These efforts are deemed essential for sustainable growth in both Tobago and Trinidad, especially as the upcoming elections approach.
