A high-profile political controversy in Trinidad and Tobago took a swift turn this week, when opposition Member of Parliament Camille Robinson-Regis issued a public apology to Shankar Bidaisee, chair of the country’s Urban Development Corporation (UDeCOTT), over incorrect statements she made during a Thursday press briefing. The apology came on the heels of a public warning from Bidaisee that legal action would be launched if Robinson-Regis did not retract and apologize for her remarks linking him to two controversial housing development contracts, a threat that was first reported in the *Sunday Express*.
