FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEOffice of the President Explains Constitutional Role Amid Scandalous Social Media ClaimsPort-of-Spain Trinidad and TobagoApril 25, 2026The Office of the President notes with grave concern a publication being circulated on social media which makes reckless and wholly improper insinuations against the Office of the President.The Office of the President rejects any attempt to portray either the Office of the President or Her Excellency as the author, architect, or wrongdoer in respect of any transaction involving the State. In the constitutional order of Trinidad and Tobago, the President performs functions in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the Republic, including, where applicable, on the advice of Cabinet or a Minister acting under Cabinet authority pursuant to section 80 (1) of the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago.The language used in the publication is an affront, not only to the dignity of the highest office in the land, but to the standards of decency, responsibility and respect upon which any democratic society must depend. The suggestion that the Office of the President has been “prostituted” in relation to any financial arrangement is to be condemned in the strongest possible terms. It is a scandalous and degrading slur. It is especially repugnant that the article names the current holder of the Office of President.Trinidad and Tobago cannot preserve public trust if its most solemn institutions are treated as targets for insult, innuendo and viral defamation. Robust scrutiny is part of democracy. Scurrilous attacks are not. They corrode respect for lawful authority, weaken public confidence and injure the democratic fabric of the Republic.The Office of the President will issue any further statement as the facts require. ...
