Trinidad and Tobago made history this week when it replaced one female head of state with the next in a well-organized ceremony in Port of Spain, the capital, on Monday.
Christine Carla Kangaloo took the oath of office as the oil- and gas-rich republic’s seventh ceremonial president, replacing fellow attorney and retired judge Paula Mae Weekes, who had opted not to serve a second term for personal reasons.
Kangaloo pointedly referred to such political misgivings from the opposition and other sections in society by noting that “as your president, I will fight to the end to make the office work better for all of us, especially those who might not yet wish to work with me.” Kangaloo said there should be no such reasons for fear and suspicion, and vowed “to fight to the end to make the office work better for all of us.”
