Laventille West Member of Parliament, Kareem Marcelle, has expressed concern over the forthcoming debate on the Zones of Special Operation (ZOSO) Bill. The controversial bill proposes the establishment of Special Zones in high crime areas, granting police and security forces the power to search, seize, and arrest without a warrant, and enforce curfews up to 72 hours. Marcelle is particularly worried about the potential misuse of such powers, arguing that they need to be balanced against constitutional protections and citizens’ rights. The proposed bill has garnered mixed public opinion; supporters believe it could effectively tackle crime hotspots without resorting to nationwide emergencies, while critics fear an erosion of constitutional safeguards and a disproportionate impact on specific communities.
