TRINIDAD & TOBAGO, August 25, 2003: Addressing the final leg of a nine-day religious drama festival entitled “Krishna Leela” yesterday, Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Patrick Manning, said one of the major reasons why he attended the function was that he “fully recognized that the Prime Minister of this country is not just the Prime Minister of his political party, or of those who elected him, but Prime Minister of all the people of Trinidad and Tobago.” “Notwithstanding our diversity of religion or diversity of culture and any other diversity, my main concern is to ensure T&T moves forward as one country, one people.” Receiving repeated cheers from the hundreds gathered at the Comets Recreation Ground on Pierre Road, yesterday afternoon, Manning said he chose to surprise the people by accepting the invitation to the community festival.
