Of the 15 Guyanese denied entry to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) on Monday, one admitted to being involved in a passport fraud; eight were victims of an employment scam; and the others had previously overstayed on the island or their passports were tampered with, Trinidad Information Minister Neil Parsanal said yesterday.
Pasrsanal is in Guyana for a Commonwealth Parliamen-tary Association (CPA) seminar for members of parliament and the media and granted reporters a brief interview on the issue yesterday. He apologized on behalf of the government of T&T, noting that the action taken by his country’s immigration officers might have been demeaning to the Guyanese.
