Is how many hats this man plan on wearing?? Given FIFA's abhorrence for the political machinery involving itself in football affairs, it's curious to see how this will play out...having a vice-president as an elected politician in his country. Nothing necessarily 'wrong' with it...but a curious situation all the same.
Ah see Supa and Jack warner taking over the alliance and ah like what the arse is this boi .

I think Jack having any kind of political power would have serious ramifications for TnT football...as a consequence what happens in the political arena vis-a-vis Jack, is very pertinent to the discussion of TnT football. This is why I say it still belongs here.

Nah I suspected..but never thought that he would do it. He have a much better chance of running bobol unhindered in FIFA...where people who in bobol is de only ones who could get him out. Government still require some degree of input that he might have less control over.

Actually Bourbon, they were discussing it on I95.5fm the other day. The question was asked "Why would Mr. Warner be trying so hard to ensure the UNC positions itself to get into government, since he already has "everything". Is it that he really cares for T&T and wants to see it move forward?"
I can't remember the exact percentage of who thought he had the country's best interests at heart vs. who didn't, but I remember a lot of people thought the former was the case.....go figure...

Warner to the rescue
...MP gives $309,000 to rehire retrenched Chaguanas workers
Camille Bethel cbethel@trinidadexpress.com
Tuesday, August 11th 2009
Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner has handed over $309,000 to the Chaguanas Borough Corporation to cover the salaries of the 54 contract workers who were sent home by the Borough last week.
At a media conference held at the Mayor's office in Chaguanas yesterday, Warner said Mayor Natasha Navas wrote him last week asking for assistance in dealing with the matter.
Warner said he "found the money" and delivered a cheque to the corporation that will allow the workers to be re-employed for two months-August 1 to September 30.
The workers-mostly single mothers with short term contracts-were last week told by the corporation that their contracts would not be renewed because of financial constraints at the corporation.
Mayor Navas and former mayor Suruj Rambachan have blamed each other for the retrenchment.
Navas declined to comment yesterday about the source of Warner's money.
In a press release yesterday, the UNC's political leader Basdeo Panday called on Warner to use $300,000 of the $30 million that Warner "admittedly received on behalf of the party prior to the last general elections" to pay the workers.
Asked where he got the money, Warner said, "Don't worry where the money came from, just where it is going."
He said as a private citizen he could not pay the workers directly and had to give the money to the corporation.
Deputy Mayor Orlando Nagessar said he was grateful for the money.
Nagessar said councillors were willing to give up some of their stipends to see how the workers could have benefitted.
He said Panday wrote to Prime Minister Patrick Manning asking for help, but there was no response
"Warner said he "found the money" and delivered a cheque"
hear nuh just when ya thought that Jack lower than ah snakes belly he does come wid even more incredible bullshit
dais where TTFF money gorn :devil:
good that the workers get their jobs back though
So my question is..
Given what you know about Jack and his corrupt ways.. If you know that he is the only person that would make huge strides in resolving our current crime situation and other issues facing our nation..
would you vote him in?
Everyone knows about Jack Warner's character.. the blatant thievery and the corruption.. the unscrupulous and sometimes caustic ways..
Jack has also shown himself as an extremely talented administrator with a capability of executing and getting things done.. He works harder than and gets more accomplished than anyone in our current government or opposition..
So my question is..
Given what you know about Jack and his corrupt ways.. If you know that he is the only person that would make huge strides in resolving our current crime situation and other issues facing our nation..

For me integrity is the most important quality a leader should have. A person who cannot be trusted is not suitable to govern, regardless of their other talents.

One can argue that none of our current leaders, or those in opposition have integrity or can be trusted..
What then??

Panday wants Jack to account for million$ first
Panday added, ’In the circumstances, I intend to approach the Speaker of the House with my request, that I be seated on the back-bench on the Opposition side of the House, until such time as Mr Warner is removed as Chief Whip, or until he accounts for the millions of party funds received by him, for which he has persistently refused to account.’
...............
Addressing the issue himself, Warner said, ’I am extremely disappointed that Mr Basdeo Panday should seek to dim the glory of our Political Leader in her finest hour. Mr. Panday is aware of the historical importance of today because it will be the first time a female will ever be appointed as the substantive Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives, and to seek to hog the limelight and detract from this moment is terribly sad.’ -Anna Ramdass

Funny how Panday now wants Warner to account for this money..

Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar is already seeing herself as the next Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, and Jack Warner is viewing himself as the country’s next Minister of National Security. Former attorney general and incumbent member for Tabaquite, Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, says further that Persad-Bissessar has already chosen her Cabinet, and some of the MPs who supported her for Opposition Leader are not in the line-up[/size].
Yea, always make the black man into a security guard :rotfl: Why not Finance or Sports minister?
I will go on record and say, that Jack Warner, being one of the few men with a track record of getting shit done.. i would like to see this happen.
Not finance though.. doh put him anywhere near that finance ministry.

Warner: T&T likes too much files and papers
Published: 13 Oct 2010
Minister of Works Jack Warner said yesterday T&T was a country which liked bureaucracy, hence the reason why things took so long to get done. His comment followed a tour of the Licensing Office in Princes Town. He visited that office three months ago and instructed that it be refurbished. On his return yesterday, Warner said he was unimpressed with the repairs undertaken by employees of the Works Ministry. “Three months later the carpets are still filthy, the walls need repainting, the trailer (used by the photographic department) is slipping.” He told reporters T&T was a country that liked bureaucracy. He said: “This is a country that likes to keep files and papers and documents and make notes and so on and at the end of the day nothing is done.”
Failing compliance, he said, if it means I have to do it myself, I will have to do it. And if this means somebody will find that there is misconduct in public office, then fine, so be it, but it cannot be right that you ask workers to work under these conditions, he added.
NPR do a program a while back on the same bureaucratic paper culture in India. I don't feel this is entirely the case here - Is a true statement, but I more feel jack tryin to set the stage for everything to be fast track so money could swiftly flow into he pocket and those of he supporters. So Jack implying that having a board make a decision on 47M is somehow a redundant waste? and we should trust his esteemed judgement? please eh jack!This from the man who always has files on someone!Nothing to debate there.

aaaaahhhh Jackie boy, dais the same thing Patrick did complain about dais why we did get UDECOTT and all dem Special Purpose companies......so stop talking and come up with solutions. From what ah hear yuh is ah man of action!! Shouldn't be too hard for you to sort right??true
In the meantime stop making statements like this.....
A paper trail is necessary at times, but as long as there is proper documentation then I have no issues with bureaucracy being reduced. But of course, Jack complaining about too much paperwork is like ah thief complaining about too much security, yuh have to parse he words carefully.Couldn't agree more Bakes...If you is the minister, why yuh have tuh come an say is not the right working conditions...he knew that a month before and did what? Nothing.... Although, in fairness to Jack, it looks like he really trying to wok hard to improve things. He just have to do more and talk less.... Then again, the media know he is a loud mouth and eventually he go say something to bite heself in the arse...that's what they really waiting on.
This article underscores what is one of my pet peeves with Warner... he likes to talk too much, and everything is in a grandstanding way. You get the feeling that he doesn't go a day without speaking into a microphone or tape recorder. Too much bureaucracy... okay, then FIX IT. Don't talk about it... fix it, the buck stops with you now. You don't need to go to the press to tell them that you in charge and yuh frustrated, and conditions unfair to workers and what not. I sure things not fine in other people's ministries but dem do go before the cameras to complain and make promises. It if that committed, then shut up and get it done.

allyuh eh hear he tell cabinet to choose between he and the caribbean airlines board?
This man needs a spokes person bad bad!
Amazing! Jack Warner said on TV this morning that 99% of the persons appointed by his government to State Boards do not have any history or experience in operating at that level. ???
Look him talking here. (http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/video/video.php?v=10150350234195311&subj=637266352)

"If I have erred for some reason, I would be the first to tell the Prime Minister 'I am sorry', apologise, and go and plant peas in Tobago. I have no problem with that. No office is too big ... for me to demit," Works and Transport Minister Jack Warner declared yesterday, as he addressed questions on the impasse between himself and the Caribbean Airlines board.
Warner said the country would lose the $10.8 million it paid down on the ATR deal if it does not go through. It would also affect the country's international reputation, he said.
"If we were to even go to court on it, we may have a serious matter to answer," he said during an interview on CNC3, adding that all this was not necessary.
Warner said his information from the experts indicated that the $1.2 billion ATR deal was still the best one. He said there was no room for further discussion with the George Nicholas III-led board.
"The board as presently composed, there is no room. And I will not allow myself to be further insulted by Mr Nicholas or Mr (Alan) Clovis," he said, adding that no board should be a runaway horse.
Asked what would be his position if the board does not step down, Warner said: "I would want the process to evolve. Let's see what happens. I am not trying to put any undue pressure on the Government or (Prime Minister) Mrs Persad-Bissessar. Let the process evolve."
Giving some background to the conflict between himself and the Caribbean Airline board, Warner said at meeting, which he held with the board, it was agreed that the ATR deal was the best one. He said the ministry team, Civil Aviation and CAL supported this deal. He said at the meeting, Alan Clovis, the Tobago representative on the board, was the one who raised the issue of the Bombardier aircraft, which was contrary to all the Tobago advice that he (Warner) had received. He said he told Clovis he could not talk about safety and airlines unless he had evidence.
"I said, 'Does anybody have anything else to add? Does anybody have anything new to say?' Nobody said anything. I said, 'Okay, if that is the case, it is now quarter to ten, I am going to Cabinet. That deal must close by tomorrow. Mr Brunton, (speaking) as the line minister, you are free to sign the deal,' which I could have said even before the board was appointed. This is quarter to ten. By 11 o'clock Mr Brunton was fired. And he was fired so that he wouldn't be able to sign the agreement (for the purchase of the ATRs."
He said Brunton was fired after he (Brunton) left that meeting and was on his way to Piarco.
"And I would say that in any court of law," Warner said.
Warner said when he told Brunton in the presence of board members that he could sign the deal, there was "not one dissenting voice. Mr Nicholas said not one single thing".
"So here am I in Cabinet. I get a text (message) saying 'Brunton was fired'. I say, "By whom?' They say by 'Mr Nicholas'. They don't say by the board, but by Mr Nicholas," Warner continued.
He said this was not how one should do things, especially since Brunton took CAL from a bankrupt airline to one with a cash reserve of $139 million in the bank.
"And a board comes in and within 18 days, fires him, without due process. It is the worse form of industrial relations I have seen," Warner added.
Warner said on a daily basis the rift between the himself and the CAL board was getting wider and wider. "And they fail to do the honourable thing," he said.
He said this matter could not be kept "hush-hush" since it would determine how other boards would act. He noted 99 per cent of the board appointees have no history or experience of how a board should be run.
"In the case of ministers of Government, we can't spend a nickel of taxpayers' money without Cabinet approval. How could boards who have to account for billions of dollars don't have to account to the line minister for it? So if you ask me what the QC (Andrew Mitchell who has been retained by the board) cost CAL, I don't know. And that is taxpayers' money," he said.
"Why wasn't I consulted when they were taking a top-class English lawyer?"
Warner said the country would lose the $10.8 million it paid down on the ATR deal if it does not go through. It would also affect the country's international reputation, he said.
"If we were to even go to court on it, we may have a serious matter to answer," he said during an interview on CNC3, adding that all this was not necessary.
Warner spoke to the Express yesterday at his Arouca home, where he held a luncheon for the media.

I already said most opinions will be shaped on political affiliations

what is there for you to reconsider?..Most people opinons of this article will be shaped on their political affiliation.

That's an assumption on your part and a ridiculous one if you ask me.
A more realistic assessment is that most people's opinions will be shaped by their opinion of Jack Warner. Most people here (I'll wager) don't give a fig about Warner's politics, they just know enough not to take that joker too seriously. Therein lies the choice in how we frame Warner's bragadocious claims... you see a political divide I see skepticism borne of a convoluted history of frustration at his hands. I'll let others decide which they think is the more accurate assessment.
:devil:THE DEVIL CORRECTING SIN :devil:
But..if anybody should know about conflicts of interest...is Jack. Who better to conduct the investigation then?

“Should the Government of T&T elect to maintain the status quo notwithstanding our concerns raised in this letter, we wish to have our complaint herein placed on record and the executive management be indemnified and released of liability for its performance of actions and/or directives of the chairman which has resulted or may result in mismanagement, loss of profit, damage to corporate integrity, litigation against the airline, non-compliance with corporate governance and/or instability of the National Carrier of T&T.”

A multi-billion dollar tunnel is the solution for rising maintenance cost of the North Cost Road.
He said the North Coast Road is collapsing and it is becoming more expensive to maintain.
“I will talk more about these things during the debate as they will be part of the debate,” Warner said.
He said funding will also be provided for the completion of the Mamoral Dam project in the budget.
“These things cannot be postponed therefore it will form part of my presentation,” Warner said.
Of course the long term impact on the Northern coastal ecosystem, with revenue generating potential in the TT$100,000,000s will not be considered.
FIFA money dry up so Jack need another source of income.
The good minister must be already set all the neccessary shell companies, kickbacks, untendered contracts and inflated project costs and other assorted scams.

I'm not sure if we are meaning the same thing. I'm making a guess about how much the North Coast area can generate if developed slowly, sytematically and properly with a view to ecology. With income for folks spread about more equitably than vast sums going to the ususal suspects and government hacks. Blasting and drilling is a real destructive process. Not to mention the increased pressure the area will come under from more human presence. My opinon is not well formed because I don't have a lot of information to go on, but familiarity with we backward arse copycyat tendencies, love of 'big shot' way of doing things, and Jack's gunslinger ways make me believe it will be just another destructive, overdone disaster in the making.

I think this tunnel is essential. After all, theres enough forest up there to grow millions of ganja trees and without adequate road access, exporting this crop overseas will be a nightmare.

It was quite clear that the government's strategy was always going to be to attack Keith Rowley's personality rather than deal with the substantive issues addressed in the motion. I was not surprised that the COP has agreed to toe the line because they have demonstrated the extent of their political mettle already but the fact that Abdullah has joined this unjust assault is a further indictment on the P.P. and its constituent parts. He's lost all credibility.
Leaders of the coalition parties that make up the Partnership also said they stood by the Prime Minister. Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) political leader, David Abdullah, a Government senator, described Rowley as “one of the most boldfaced” persons in the country for tabling the no confidence motion.
“He is moving a motion of no confidence in the Prime Minister but forgot to look at himself in the mirror and ask himself who has confidence in me,” Abdullah said.

Any PNM member who votes in support of Kamla need to have their party card revoked.

The Jack tief in Haiti is the straw that broke the camel's back.
Children dying from cholera, thousands still living in tents and you teif the people money and this Government see nothing in that, this is an unbridled association of thieves and rapers. In less than 2 yrs they erode goodwill to the point where we in the depths of hell.
Kamla gone to the Commonwealth meeting in Australia and sooo drunk she could barely finish her speech and the whole CW laughing at her.
Does the people of Trinidad and Tobago have a credible option? And don't say PNM, cause that party in a bigger mess.. is only because they're not in power that it's not highlighted.
Kamla let down the people (no question about that). She was never prime minister material from day 1. And rather than build and streamline some of the good things the previous gov't had in place, they went on a scrapping spree.. yea and blame the pnm campaign.
the political situation in trinbago (both sides) in a bigger mess than security/crime.

The biggest problem with the legal profession is that there aren't enough schupid clients.
Deficient statement by Rowley in response. Seemingly not the most considered response. Ah could hear Jack steupsing long and hard.
Beyond all ah that, from a prime ministerial perspective, this isn't exactly a silly move.
So why not move anil roberts
This is just jobs for the boys. So many positions duplicated.... Whats the difference between a Minister and a Minister of State? Who's responsible for what?
Minister of Food Production Devant Maharaj
Minister of State in the Ministry of Food Production Jairam Seemungal
Minister of State in the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources Ramona Ramdial
Minister of the Environment and Water Resources Ganga Singh
Minister in the Ministry of National Diversity and Social Integration Embau Moheni
Minister of National Diversity and Social Integration Clifton De Couteau
Minister of Community Development Winston Peters
Minister in the Ministry of the People and Social Development Vernella Alleyne-Toppin
Minister of the People and Social Development Dr Glenn Ramadharsingh
There's still one vacancy for a Ministry available....

Seems like common sense to me.

Jack will be the next prime minister. Grin and bear it or join the festivities. The PNM is a mere shadow of a party, lacking a real leader.
and we put the state's bullies in d hands of a notorious bully........SMH
The scary thing is that a lot of what he says makes sense. He has the persona to unite the country behind his ideas and galvanise the police force. The only other person I can think of who could do that is Ian Alleyne.

Ian Alleyne and Jackula.....what a combination!!!.....imagine dais who we looking towards in our crime fight. Two clowns.....aye I love this country...... :rotfl: :rotfl:
Only thing to save pp is get the crime under control, which they promised. I think this will be the biggest test for JW, under all seriousness I wish him the best. The country needs help
I doh know why all yuh getting on so?? He gets things done!!! However he does it we doh care!!!!
Sunity said it best today... Jack lives by the credo that the end justifies the means. For me what I find most compelling about this statement is that when you look at Jack, what makes him so "effective" in the eyes of his supporters is that he disregards process in favor of apparent results. I say "apparent" because sometimes the potency of the "result" is short-term or limited, but when you're dealing with a populace fed on years of ministerial inertia, along comes a Jack Warner and he's able to pass off activity for achievement.
Returning to the "process" issue however, too much process can frustrate achievement, but the solution isn't to do away with process, but to improve it. Procedures are there for a reason, to ensure due diligence and to make it easier to replicate achievement in the future. If there is a clear path to achievement then it would be easier to follow that path again in future, or to even implement it in other places. Without process achievement is left to the vagaries of chance... but this sadly, is lost on supporters.

The most coherent statement in this entire thread. We feel starved for progress down here and it is not that we haven't had any. It is that it has come at a terrible cost, be it financially, morally or otherwise. King Austin wasn't just right, he was spot on!

Well fella unless you living under a f@cking rock in Cantaro yuh must have understood our position and disdain at yuh mikey mouse government!
The Prime Minister in her infinite wisdom recently apoointed Admiral Richard Kelshall as a secial advisor and head honcho of her security arm.
Why not appoin him if he so wise that he could head up her security apparatus?
If he so good that he could be special adviser on all things security..then why not him?
Additionally, why not appoint YOU...seriously..or me or Tallman or Flex.
The problem is NOT who is appointed (apart from crooked ass Jack or anyone with myraid allegations hanging over his head)), anyone can be appoineted....there must be POLITICAL WILL and the courage to implement the laws...not legislate to death..implement to death!
Start with traffic offenses and littering....REALLY have a ZERO TOLERANCE...I can GUARANTEE you we will see a major decrease in crime almost immediately.
Then address the schools and behaviors of school children, have a truancy policy and f@cking implement it for heaven"s sake!
The computerize all public records, including license office, hold people's feet to the fire and if they eh perform doh shuffle and re-shuffle..DISMISS!
Put police on the streets and let them be courteous while firm in UPHOLDING the law.
Yuh really find it do hard?
Not me..dat model does work anywhere there is political will! If people eh hear make dem feel...from captain to cook...and doh try to tell me nutten about no damn SoE eh....come again

Well fella unless you living under a f@cking rock in Cantaro yuh must have understood our position and disdain at yuh mikey mouse government!
The Prime Minister in her infinite wisdom recently apoointed Admiral Richard Kelshall as a secial advisor and head honcho of her security arm.
Why not appoin him if he so wise that he could head up her security apparatus?
If he so good that he could be special adviser on all things security..then why not him?
The problem is NOT who is appointed (apart from crooked ass Jack or anyone with myraid allegations hanging over his head)), anyone can be appoineted....there must be POLITICAL WILL and the courage to implement the laws...not legislate to death..implement to death!
Start with traffic offenses and littering....REALLY have a ZERO TOLERANCE...I can GUARANTEE you we will see a major decrease in crime almost immediately.
Ministry of Works and Transport
Then address the schools and behaviors of school children, have a truancy policy and f@cking implement it for heaven"s sake!
Ministry of Education
The computerize all public records, including license office, hold people's feet to the fire and if they eh perform doh shuffle and re-shuffle..DISMISS!
Ministry of Transport, Public Information
Put police on the streets and let them be courteous while firm in UPHOLDING the law.
Supposedly that is what Gibbs ultimately failed 20/20 initiative was about?
Yuh really find it do hard?
Not me..dat model does work anywhere there is political will! If people eh hear make dem feel...from captain to cook...and doh try to tell me nutten about no damn SoE eh....come again
Insisting that Warner is a good choice absent any evidence to the contrary is classic appeal to ignorance... one of the most basic of the logical fallacies. The fact is that we don't know all the qualified players in the pool of candidates... none of us here are vetting CVs and performing background checks.
Is english so difficult?
I did not ask who you think should NOT be minister of national security did I?
If you don't have an answer to that question then why bother responding?
Mr Warner's baggage
By Clarence Rambharat (T&T Express)
Unless we answer the Warner allegations, the country would question the lessons of working hard and playing by the rules. We will ask about fair-play and the lessons of consequences. We will ask how does one defend the rule of law and reward those who dwell in its grey areas and lacunas. What about all those parables and tales we share with our children about fairness, goodness, decency, morality and the triumph of good over evil? How will we ever roll back criminal attitudes, the attraction of crime and the transfusion of lawlessness into youthful blood, when we place the country's biggest political question mark at the top of the enforcement of law? Warner's baggage must be examined.

Fellah, doh presume to tell me what i was trying to say to you or anyone else... You coming off like a woman there trying to read a setta extra nonsense into my words.
I asked a very simple question because i myself wanted to know who people think would have been better options. I stated before that it makes sense to me to have the best performing minister handle the largest responsibility. I wanted to know who else people had in mind. If you interpret that as condescending, then i doh know what again to tell you.Well fella unless you living under a f@cking rock in Cantaro yuh must have understood our position and disdain at yuh mikey mouse government!

That sounds reasonable. Who are some of the other people you had in mind since you say you had so many (before you edited)? Not trying to be condescending, i'd really like to know.

You gone kinda off course but I totally agree with all that you stated there.
But government to government from time immemorial, none have shown that political will to implement. Every single one has shown to be inept to implement some basics. A simple thing like highway patrols, pulling people over for speeding, CCTV i think would go a long away yet every single government rehashing the same old shit over and over.
If it not so hard to do, then why it is nobody can't do it?
Right now a general consensus among people is they vex Warner leaving Works ministry because they wondering who go fix the roads now... Despite allyuh inability to give the man any kinda credit, he make things happen and he left a track record in that ministry. If he can apply the same kinda effort with the Ministry of National Security then i can't see how that would not be welcome. We dogs dead anyhow, not so?
The other day i made an error saying Jack Warner will not be able to leave Trinbago at any time to my supprise the man buss my bubble ,he said he recently left and went to Miami too lime , he want people to know he can leave the country anytime .

i remember in an interview he also spoke of going on raids etc with the police...but this one wreaks of a personal vendetta to me especially after emmanuel george said yesterday he have to get up to speed first with the whole issue before making a decision...
I dunno.. I have no dog in that fight, but something about this strikes me as very... repulsive. I can't help but feel sad for these people. Gov't shouldn't be acting in this heavy-handed kinda way. And before people start talking, I would be saying the same thing if this was the PNM. Citizens have to have an avenue for peaceful protest. How is this different from the dogs and water cannons that blacks had to face in the South in the 60s?
Sancho and dem might be next or wha?

well according to reports they have been blocking the progress of the highway and costing the government millions in delays. This I agree with, but in a democracy, people are given that right under the constitution.
This kind of government action is not an aberration happens all over the place. But mostly by way of a court order, not the whim of a Govt Minister.
WHat I find reprehensible is that the UNC peeps claiming that the PNM is behind the protests!

Didn't he also bypass the procedure for the airports lights? Don't even know if the work was done. And remember, these road builders are the same who built the football stadium in Brazil. :thinking:

Please I was in England and saw police beating the crap out of students protesting school fees two years ago. I even saw a young man dragged from a wheel chair, the police even dragged him along the road. Which court in England ordered that?
Hell just last year police in London during Occupy protests beat and pepper sprayed protestors on PUBLIC SPACES...i's owned by the PUBLIC and maintained by the public purse.
As I said that shit is normal

As I said that shit is normal. If yuh holding up government work and yuh onsite illegally, they could move yuh ass..with or without warning. Clearly the government earmarked that area for development and they blocking it, and doing so illegally too.
I have no love for Jack warner, but he eh do nutten there that is new or novel. Infact he doh like protesters, as evidenced by his many objections to them in the past.
Mayors here send police to clean up areas without going to court, same happens in Canada and Europe including England.
In fact many times police take unilateral actions and call it justified due to retaliations etc.
I was not endorsing the actions, fella, merely pointing out that i is par for the course and I see no real grouse against the government for removing their own supporters who objecting to this highway construction.
Let them sue the government get an injuction and tie up the construction leaglly. dais all I saying.
I merely pointed out that this happens everywhere even without court instructions. I eh have nutten against the man...well not again.
I do beleive that as Minister of National security he can do what he did actually. He is the one signing all ah dem promotion papers etc.
He may not be the Commander in Chief of the Military, but he does have some purview and power with regards to operations etc. In fact he can fire the head of the Defense Force if he likes

That is shit talk. All one has to do is look at how the "Occupy" protesters were treated in the US to see the difference. Unless by "everywhere" yuh mean Russia, China and Libya.

uuuuuummm Truetrini, first I am not a "fella" ;D
Now on to the story. I'm not quite sure I'm following and yuh kinda surprising mih at how cool you appear to be with the situation. I eh do no setta law and thing. And I eh think is because is Jack either. But from the time I heard the story this morning the first thing that struck me as odd was that a Minister was on site actively taking part in the demolition. Something about that just doh sound correct to me. Kinda like how I felt something was odd about the SOE last year the minute I heard about it.
Then by chance they interviewed Ramesh on I95.5 fm after the whole thing started and he said that IF, the police and army action were as a result of the Minister's directive that is unconstitutional.
And let we take Jack out of the picture. ANY Minister doing this would have struck me as odd.
Now add Jack in the picture. If yuh eh find something wrong dey and yuh eh worried like hell....well I have enough concern for the both of us.

p.s. The same ministry of national security sent the soldiers to dismantle the illegal structures of the Jamaat some years ago...where was the public hue and cry then?

Yuh mean de same Jamettes who was engaged in criminal activity and treason?
Whether Jack was in his rights or not, it was tactically naive. His grandstanding yet again brings shame on T&T.
This from ABC web news in USA:
Ex-Soccer Chief Uses Troops on Trinidad Protest
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad June 27, 2012 (AP)
Former FIFA Vice President Jack Warner has called in troops and riot police to remove a protest camp built by environmentalists in his first move as national security minister.
Dozens of soldiers and police razed the three-month-old camp built to protest construction of a highway critics say will damage a watershed.
Warner is defending Wednesday's action and says he has the support of Works Minister Emmanuel George.
But former attorney general Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj says Warner violated Trinidad's constitution because police and army officers are not supposed to take orders from a minister.
Warner oversaw the main soccer body for North America and the Caribbean for almost three decades before resigning last year from FIFA, soccer's international governing body, to avoid investigation following a bribery scandal. He denies wrongdoing.
p.s. The same ministry of national security sent the soldiers to dismantle the illegal structures of the Jamaat some years ago...where was the public hue and cry then?

Before the treason breds, way before the treason.
I'm just guessing here, but in times of extreme danger to the Republic, such as the coup, the Government can take control of the Security services, like during the SOE.
They can also determine specific agendas, I believe, but those decisions have to be ratified by something like a two thirds vote in parliament. (I'm just guessing here, so I could be wrong) but I know in UK at times of civil unrest such as a national strike or the fireman's strike, the gov't mobilised the army.
But this is an individual minister acting without the agreement of PM or Cabinet. That, I believe, is the difference.
It may be the case that there have been similar instances in T&T before, but that ain't making the news. Now throw Mr Warner into the mix and it's headlines. Yes, his haters will fuel the fire...which is why I always maintained Jack should have emptied the skeletons from his closet before he got into politics.
And I don't believe Dora The Explorer was so naive that she didn't forsee Jack making headlines around the world. After all, she admitted she assessed every appointment thoroughly before the announcement. So what's her game? Or did she have no choice?
Nonsense it is commonplace and the Jamaat had their compund demolished for sauattiung and illegally ocupying State lands, ironic is that they are still there and won a judgement against the State..imagine that theyw ere also sued for damage to POS etc and yet..they are still there.
The last Government did the same removing squatters etc...
In fact just recently in St Anns people had their shops destroyed by the polcie on orders from the Mayor Lee Sing
I took a cursory look at the Defence Act ... Chapter 14:01 ... Ramesh can't be right re: it is unconstitutional for "a Minister" to give the DF a directive (if indeed that's what he stated) ...
“We are not going to comment on the political factors governing this issue. We are here to remove the structure in support of the Government’s intention. “We had one mission here to undertake, and it was to remove the structures.” Col Anthony Phillips-Spencer said the army had an obligation to support civil authority. “We act in support of that...We are given instructions, and this mission is being carried out within the ambit of proper military operation,” he said.

Well, Maraj was Attorney General and he seems pretty smart to me. I'm confident that he would not make such an inflamatory public statement unless he was sure he was correct. As opposed to Jack who says whatever he feels like saying because he knows the press won't bother checking.
And on the subject of press, I saw Kamla addressing the IPI conference today. All those journos from across the world promoting transparency couldn't muster one question for the PM about Jack? ???
It just illustratees that to some, the ends justifies the means.

Gregory Aboud, president of the Downtown Owners and Merchants Association (DOMA), was also on the scene yesterday and spoke to reporters: "The country is dangerous; we can't change that fact," said Aboud.
He added, "We can't hide from the fact that parking lots, in general, are extremely dangerous, and this is not the only parking lot in Trinidad that is dangerous because, in fact, this should be a warning to all persons who leave their cars in parking lots that it is dangerous, regardless of whether you are in Port of Spain or a shopping mall."
Aboud, however, said he is cautiously confident in the appointment of Jack Warner as the new National Security Minister.
"Mr Warner's credentials precede him in his desire to be an action man, but I must say, we are very cautious in our optimism."
He added, "Because the fact of the matter, if you have sent (Brian) Lara in to bat with a coconut branch, you would end up facing the same difficult prospects, which are that the management system of our protective services is defective, and the good officers or the great officers are not being recognised, and as a result, they are demotivated, and unless we fix that, Mr Warner is going to have a very difficult time."

Return of Sheriff Lobo
By Raffique Shah
...And you know what was worse than Lobo's first faux pas? The sorry spectacle of his Cabinet colleagues, to a spineless man and woman, defending the indefensible. How could the Attorney General, a man supposedly versed in law, see nothing wrong with Jack's gross violation of fundamental provisions of the Constitution? One might forgive the ignorance of others like new Works Minister Mano George, whom Jack claimed to have consulted before he donned his Lobo-gear fo-day morning to assault the camp. Mano is no lawyer. In fact, I don't know what he is. Roodal Moonilal, too, swears that by his unconstitutional action, Jack prevented civil war in Debe. AG Anand Ramlogan insists there was no breach of convention or constitution although several learned attorneys have said otherwise. In other words, just as in the "Solomon affair", once you are in power you can do no wrong.
How JW get this man of action title from?
Where the new number plates? (Was Canada they was coming from right ??? )
Where the new Driver Permits?
Where the speeding tickets in the mail?
Where is the reduce in traffic jams?
Where the highway down south?
Where the new plan for Maxi taxi and PH drivers?

And dais where people does get tie up. A lot of the things implemented by Jack were already in train by the previous administration when he took over. The new driver's permits is one such item. Also, Elan it could be argued that he only held the Transport portfolio for about 1 year so he couldn't do much. What I want to know is what he accomplished in the Min. of Works that made him this man of action people does tout.
The Interchange?? Was already in train when he came into office.
The barriers and emergency bays down the highway?? Already in train....
The roundabout in Maraval?? Ditto
The highway extension up Santa Rosa side. Was stalled because of a court matter. Was resolved just as he took office....so ditto.
Remember the tunnel to Maracas that people laughed at saying it was Jack who wanted it. Eh, eh....wrong. It was actually contained in a budget presented under Karen Nunez-Tesheira (either her first one or the 2nd one). So even the stupid ideas from the PNM he was taking that too. ::) ::)
He actually admitted that the PURE programmed put in place by the PNM was a good thing. Ah wonder how he was able to use it to his benefit??? :thinking:
I can't recall any other major projects that were on stream that he completed but I also can't remember anything major that he initiated and finished......if is one thing the man good at is PR, BS and smoke screen.......man of action my rear end....steups!!!

They believe a lot of dotish voters will fall for it and they will be voted back in!
Remember the Pappy show worked on the voters once and apparently the opposition is now in tatters so they expect it to work again and who can really blame them when you think about it?!

let's hope this is not a blimp in disguise.
The only problem is that in its 18 months of monitoring, May 30th is the only instance in which ShotStopper has actually contributed to an arrest. In Oakland, where police have installed similar sensors, only two arrests have been made as a result of the sensors in over a year and a half. It seems the only thing faster than a report from ShotStopper is a criminal fleeing the scene.

Mr Warner is clearly out of his depth at National Security. In Works, he talked more than anything else and continues in this vein in his new post, jabbering away nightly on television, whilst blood flows on the streets and rapes escalate. About 40 people have been murdered in the one month of his watch.http://www.trinidadexpress.com/commentaries/Kamla_and_Jack-163499096.html

That presumably educated people here on this forum would proclaim Jack "most productive Minister" is beyond mind boggling.
Jack had to establish himself in quick time and in quick time he did when, during his first stint as acting Prime Minister he offered a little boy who was kidnapped, subsequently abandoned for some reason and who found his own way out of the forest a National Award and a FIFA watch.
Rumour has it Jack fire Gibbs and Ewatski...Not yet confirmed but that is the word going around. Guess we'll find out later for sure. ??? ???If Jack has really fired Gibbs then he has my full support there!

Heard the clips from Warner and Louis on the issue this morning. Well since I done biased against Renwar already it eh goh surprise anybody that I believe Louis' accounts of what happened. In addition to which, I never hear anyone state that Louis has an economy with the truth.....
But the most intriguing fellow in all this is Watson Duke. If all yuh hear that man bob and weave when Tony and Dale tried to pin him down on his involvement in the whole thing......classic talk radio!!!....I still eh sure if I want to fall down laughing or scratch mih head in sheer confusion.....
Oh and in other news, ah hear about 2 -3 (or was it 4) people murdered in the last 24 hours....if this was not serious business I woulda dead laughing......

Warner and them mad or what? Who stop children from getting licks in school and replace it with no punishment for bad behaivor? He should ask Kamla to put a committe together to see who stop it.

It was actually Kamla who banned corporal punishment when she was Minister of Education. So we have Warner criticising the Prime Minister openly. Don't these people talk to each other? But, I have to say, most of what he says here, I agree with.
As for kids these days not knowing the lyrics to the National Anthem, not even his governments former ambassador to the United Nations knows the words....I still can't hear anyone singing "Together we aspire, together we achieve" :rotfl:

Banning corporal punishment had to be done.
It was inhumane physical assault on minors, imagine beating children with whips and rods as if they are animals.
Teachers did not even know if the kids had learning disabilities.
Cycle of legal violence came out of this, parents beating children, nieghbors beating children, teachers beating children... then the children in turn beating their own children and so on.
Check when the societies we look at stopped corporal punishment and show me how that is directly realted in an increase in juvenile delinquency.
In my time I remember the boys who were the delinquents laughing off this kind of punishment because what they got at home was far worse, most of them struggling through life now.
For Warner to talk about missing corporal punishment in schools shows how empty he is of ideas.

Banning corporal punishment is a very good thing, however what was put in place to deal with students and their misbehavior? Yes, delinquency rose after Kamala stop licks.
Ok, why did I just here automatic gun fire in the distance? Wtf...? If anybody dead in Arima I think I heard it.

The acting commissioner said that banning the release of crime information “is not a matter which the minister has authority to instruct the commissioner of police on,” Williams said.
Breaking News - Jack Says Sorry
By Richard Charan
ISSUE: "NOT REVEALING CRIME STATS"
"The intent of this measure is to seek to ensure that crime statistics are not sensationalized thereby acting as a domino effect in certain hot spot areas and causing an escalation of crime in that hotspot area.
The issue is not about withholding the statistics - it is about the management of the sensitive information that many times is released along with the statistic that always has the potential to inflame additional crime - particularly when treating with the issue of gangs and the 'gang culture'.
For instance, there is no issue with stating that there may have been a homicide in area 'x', the issue becomes more challenging when the information released includes the homicide in area 'x', along with the homicide being gang related, and involving person 'y'...this is a recipe for unnecessarily inflamed tensions.

Werary....Williams did the right thing so far. Lets hope he will continue to set a good example whatever his shortcomings.
Regardless of my opinion on The Acting Prime Minister of National Security, I was hoping he was up to the challenge of putting a dent in criminal activity. So far he only beating up on protestors and frontkicking himself in the mouth. Clearly he is out of his depth, and needs a crash course in parlimentary democracy and a revisit of the constitution of these islands. I mean how much more shame is KPB willing to let this man inflict on the country?

ah fed up...
Acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams yesterday said the police had a legal obligation to provide crime statistics to the public and the National Security Minister had no authority to stop that.
Williams made the statement at yesterday's police briefing at the police headquarters at Sackville Street, Port of Spain.
"I received no instructions from the minister in relation to any gag on the police in disseminating information on murders and other forms of crime," Williams said yesterday.
"I want to assure the public that I have received no instructions from the Minister of National Security, which I heard reference to as a gag on the police," he said.
"I want to give clear assurance that we in the Police Service have not taken any position to refuse to disseminate information to the public. We are under a legal obligation to provide statistics to the public and we will fulfil the legal obligation," he added.
Williams and other high-ranking police officials met with National Security Minister Jack Warner on Tuesday afternoon, but said at no time did any of the officers receive any directive to stop making crime statistics public. Just hours before that meeting, however, Warner had said he was meeting with the men to give those specific instructions.
"The Minister gave me no instructions and I believe the minister is fully aware that he cannot give the Commissioner of Police instructions in relation to matters such as dissemination of statistics to the media or the general public," Williams said.
"It is not a matter on which the Minister of National Security has the authority to instruct the Commissioner of Police. I am making it clear, hoping that it would be crystal clear: I have received no instructions," he reiterated.
But Williams refused to divulge what was discussed at that meeting, saying he would not discuss "confidential" police matters in the media and did not expect the other attendees to do so either.
"I did meet with the Minister of National Security at 2 p.m. (on Tuesday) and the minister shared some concerns around the dissemination of information on murders by the Police Service. He raised concerns in relation to the police dissemination of information on matters of murder, but I received no instructions and the minister has no authority to issue instructions to the Police Service on an operational issue," he said.
He said, though, the Police Service would "adopt a particular process to disseminate information" to the media and, by extension, the public. He said "troops on the ground" should already know they do not have the authority to communicate police information to the public.
"Troops need to have permission from the Commissioner of Police before disseminating information," he said.
With regard to Warner's statement that the latest Laventille killing was "sponsored" by the People's National Movement (PNM) and was in fact a "PNM murder", Williams said he did not know what a "PNM murder" was.
"I don't know. What is a PNM murder? I am not in the position to answer the categorisation of the murder as a PNM murder. I try my best not to respond to statements by politicians," Williams said.
He said the country was currently living in a "charged political environment" and he preferred to "stay away from politics".

Alluh see how Deviant change his tongue now. When PNM was in power he was saying that they discriminating against all Indians. Now he saying they were discriminating against Hindus. JokersImagine if Obama made Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson a member of his cabinet. That's essentially what KPB did. In my view it is impossible for a person like Devant who so vehemently represents narrow ethnic interests to have any credibility as a fair and evenhanded public official.
But National Security Minister Jack Warner told TV6 News he is very concerned.
"I first of all want to commiserate with the family of the soldier and to say that I await the report that would come to us, I imagine, within a couple of days before I make a statement formally. More importantly, what is of concern to me is the fact that I have now learnt there is only one qualified pathologist in the country and for me that raises all kinds of questions in terms of justice...in terms of our justice system," said Warner.
He said he has asked the National Security Ministry's Permanent Secretary to give him a report within the next 22 hours as to why this situation existed and what can be done to correct it.

The Minister vowed to protect and defend the Prime Minister against anyone who attacks her – including journalists.
Seem like Jack did his own thing, got no approval for anything and funds weren't allocated. I wonder what the Permanent Secretary has to say about men getting contracts to sign though.
I was monitoring the crime stats before this headline and was wondering if anybody stop bouncing and floating long enough to notice. As I recall it was a similar spate of murders over a single weekend that prompted the SoE of 2011. This is further proof that no amount of pappyshow, grandcharging, cowboy governance could deal with national security.
Watch where T&T reach eh. The economy is still stalled, the government has returned to the regularly scheduled programme of nepotism and corruption, they dismantled a major crime fighting agency , neglected maritime security and compromised national intelligence. 59 in 48 is very dramatic but very necessary headline that highlights not just the result poor governance but symptoms of a failing state.
I feel real negatively about the country as whole these days, not just the leadership but the people themselves. While I think Rowley would serve as much better PM than Kamla I don't think that's enough. Watching the way people just laugh at the pic with Fuad Khan and Ish further illustrated how much we lack consciousness. I sure we starting to forget Hafizool already.
In the mean time the PNM has to organise itself not just for an election but for governance. We can't take another pick up side government. They need to assemble a qualified and experienced team and plan the way forward for country. We can't continue to approach this problem and others by desperate and drastic measures. Success comes by doing all the small boring things right and that is what these people don't understand. Because their natural inclination to run in front of a camera and doing the right thing for the country is not their main priority.
And jack still has his job. And kamla remains silentWarner said he has no files on the PM. He musbe have a DVD.
59 in 48!Everything you said here and the PM doesn't know whats going on. She defers everything to other ministers and more often than not it is that crook Warner. She has some vipers around her too and she's too weak or too leveraged to get rid of them. The drinking doesn't help either.
No people that is NOT Kierron Pollard's latest 20/20 score!
Murder!
Where is action man Jack Warner with all the ideas? What happened to the much touted crime plan that was supposed to have been implemented almost three years ago?
Remember the "Give us 120 Days and we will deal with crime and reduce it?"
Remember the rumors about the surreptitious reinstatement of the infamous Flying Squad? The crumb trail leads right back to the Ministry of National Security, despite all the denials.
Remember Calder Hart and Ish, Hafizool and Reshmi, Sasha and her emailed threats threatening the freedom of the press, keep alive the memory of Setion 34 and the missing 200,000,000 from the 2006 World Cup Campaign.
Do not forget the stalled and dying economy despite the ponouncements about oil and natural gas finds that were a supposed boon for the natiuonal treasury.
Remember what were the reasons given for the FAILED State of Emergency and the curfew! Do not forget the numerous persons arrested and released with no charges and those Muslims arrested and held under the Emergency Powers Act for what was already discredited as a fake plot to assissinate the PM, AG and other Ministers.
Do not forget that as we are exhorted to "Do So, and rise," that we are left mired and standing in quicksand!
59 in 48 is a great cricket score, but as a murder statistic it is a stark reminder on how this government has failed us, over and over again!
You may say the drinking does not help, maybe that is why she back drinking...maYBE it helps her cope lolYou might be right . The rumours are more frequent now.
Good stuff jahgol, i always enjoy reading your post. just to add to that, i know one things true about effective crime fighting that these ppl seem to over look by every single administration we had to date,??? Agree with most of what you posted besides the very last line.
here's ah little know fact in the annals of crime fighting, in order to keep crime stats down you must keep criminals off the streets! it's that simple!
i saw it here in the late 90ies when juliani put a cop on every corner in the hot spots, the government also started putting repeat offenders out of the country when clinton signed that anti terrorist bill in 1996.
i see new york went from a place where criminals didn't give ah damn to runnin scared, it happened in the roaring 20ies and it happened again in my life time, and the same method applied, taking these fackers off the streets was the key.
T&T has an extremely flawed judicial and penal system, and that has to change in order to ensure success lowering crime! first things first, they need lock up the bad cops! them fackers is the catalyst in this runaway train drugs/gun crime.
what's so hard about forming a elite secret police force ala FBI on the island where they could weed out corrupt cops and give them big time behind bars?
the next thing they need to do is restructure the judicial system where they could achieve a greater success rate, like ah three strikes and yuh getting ah 25 yrs in yuh clart. next thing that should be done concurrent with revamping the judicial system is to create ah proper witness protection program, too much fellas getting away with murder bc ppl too scared to show up in court!
but this would never happen bc of bipartisanism, no one wants to give up any ground for the interest and betterment of the country, just like any third world country in the world, they would rather bring the country to it's knees than compromise on the best way forward.
trinidadians not patriotic @ all @ all!! remember that.
Good stuff jahgol, i always enjoy reading your post. just to add to that, i know one things true about effective crime fighting that these ppl seem to over look by every single administration we had to date,My mom lived in a notsonice part of Brooklyn for a lil while and I saw this for my self. Not one but 2 cars regularly on the block. A Sunday we walking back to the apartment and there was a white cop standing right outside his car and the officer make sure and say Happy Mother's Day to my mom. The quality of service , professionalism and humanity displayed is still etched on my mind. This is not something achieved overnight either. The thing is nothing around there was intimidating to me. Just loud ,weed smoking welfare dependent negroes.

Allyuh could say what allyuh want. When Patrick was dey, he throw he hands up in the air like he give up, because he did not know what to do. "nigger people" just bent on killing one another. If action man jack can't stop it, you really expect Kamla with her charismatic self could solve black people problem? Black people have to solve that problem on the OWN. No PNM, no UNC, not even Selassie I could help we. We just bent on going over the suicide cliff.
You're right it was Bas.Allyuh could say what allyuh want. When Patrick was dey, he throw he hands up in the air like he give up, because he did not know what to do.

Wrong PM is Bas as Min of Nat Sec who gave up. He said he eh know what 2 do. Is old Patos who bring Blimp, Eye in d Sky plan to buy OPV. But all we heard is Martin must go and we have a 120 plan well Martin gone over 2 yrs now and I guess d 120 plan was a misprint.

I remember Martin Joseph giving a press conference looking completely exhausted , the veins on his temple were popping out while he was telling the media to keep up the pressure because the crime level was unacceptable. He was saying they would to work and would try different strategies and expand those that worked and discontinue those that failed etc. I joined in that chorus calling for Martin Joseph to go as I did for Gary Hunt as Sports Minister. Time would reveal that I was wrong on both counts as these men proved to have more class and professionalism than their successors from the UNC et al.
You folks need to realise that the PM can't get rid of Jack because she owes him payback for being one of the main financiers of the UNC/PP election campaign that saw them fool the T&T public and get into power.
Also part of Jack's funding for their election campaign seems to have come from the Soca Warriors promised bonus money as the government has not asked Jack to give the missing money back to the TTFF to settle the 2006 Soca Warriors bonus payment dispute that is still before the courts almost 7 years after the players made their 2006 FIFA World Cup appearance.
This is despite the non-payment bonus situation helping to stagnate T&T football and most members of government claiming to be proud of the Soca Warriors achievement back in 2006.
If you are so proud of these 2006 players then why not force Jack to account for the missing money especially as a member of your government when all the TTFF accounts trails lead to him?
The answer is obvious, the players bonus money went towards your election campaign so why bite the crooked hand that feed you?! :devil:
And jack still has his job. And kamla remains silentWarner said he has no files on the PM. He musbe have a DVD.
Breds, ah patriot is not ah man who is willing to admit that he's ah this or ah that, or a man who wears his national colors proudly or brandishes a national flag @ will, but rather a man who's more than willing to lose his life in the pursuit of freedom and equal rights for ppl and the land that he's tied too.Good stuff jahgol, i always enjoy reading your post. just to add to that, i know one things true about effective crime fighting that these ppl seem to over look by every single administration we had to date,???

IMO "most" trinis would not shed ah drop of blood for that land let alone risk their lives to protect it. another thing, this is not about you and other ppl who love their native land, but rather i'm talking about the vast majority of trinis who have no ties to trinbago.
FYI, just like america, most trini are not native to trinidad or have very little history there. for them trinidad was ah way for their parents to escape hardship from the smaller islands and have very little true affinity for the place.
The Express was able to verify that Cordner's doctorate was purchased from a diploma mill.
In all his documents, he refers to himself as Dr Mervyn Cordner. However, the Express learnt that Rochville University sells degrees, diplomas and doctorates for a fee. The Rochville University website does not offer any telephone numbers for contacting it. An email sent by the Express requesting verification of Cordner's doctorate generated a response from "Affordable Degrees."
cordner have some creditability issues but that flying squad story have some truth in it ,is Jack Warner we talking bout, if you could say cordner is lying why jack not lying too.That's exactly whats going on. I listened to the Cordner interview yesterday. He has the makings of a snake but Jack isn't innocent either.
Antidote: here is a very good question thrown out at me by a child. 'Dad if the law states that you cannot drive over 110km, why do they allow cars that operate on the road, to be made, that can travel over 110km?" ;D
I joined in that chorus calling for Martin Joseph to go as I did for Gary Hunt as Sports Minister. Time would reveal that I was wrong on both counts as these men proved to have more class and professionalism than their successors from the UNC et al.

How so??I joined in that chorus calling for Martin Joseph to go as I did for Gary Hunt as Sports Minister. Time would reveal that I was wrong on both counts as these men proved to have more class and professionalism than their successors from the UNC et al.
The flag imbroglio aside... I still don't understand the animus that was directed at Hunt. He was the ONLY Sports Minister to stand up to Jack Warner and the TTFF. Is only now that Jack wash he hands that Anil trying to act like he find he balls....i'm talking about the vast majority of trinis who have no ties to trinbago.

Specious nonsense.
Allyuh really feel Kamla that stupid. Kamla eh Patrick. We will see this gov't thru 5 yrs. While allyuh think this is the "worse gov't" ever, the UNC supporters think she is the best thing that ever happen to TT. So ban allyuh belly and take the jammin. Like I said before I don't see any govt making a difference in the murder rate. Until the people of the areas affected take a stand, that is when we will see a change. I myself don't have any solutions. The people from the areas who wreaking havoc on they own have no concience and they will not listen to what you or I have to say. They will kill you. So let them dead fuss.I listened to an interview with Karl Hudson Phillips a few months ago. He was asked his opinion about the section 34 fiasco and more specifically the government's reaction to it. He noted that for all of Manning's failings he did understand the moral duty the PM in the Westminster system has if faced with a massive loss of support and public dissent. That duty is to either resign or call an election. I don't want to misquote the gentleman but basically he was saying considering all that occurred and the subsequent protests and the vote of no confidence in parliament simply doesn't have the compulsion to do what is appropriate .
fishes what was martin Joseph's cocoa in the sun? I want to know... Thanks.
Is the same cocoa all of them make tea from.
Chinese ( check out the inmates in the detention center)

Robber killed with own gun during robbery
Published:

Derek Achong
From: www.guardian.co.tt
"A 25-year-old robber was shot and killed with his own gun during a botched robbery of a taxi driver and his passengers in Chaguanas yesterday afternoon. According to reports, shortly after midday Dereck Spencer, 37, of Couva, was plying his Nissan B14 car for hire between Couva and Chaguanas.
Spencer told police he picked up his wife and a male commuter in Couva and two more women in Chase Village. Spencer’s wife was seated in the front passenger seat while the man and the two women sat in the back seat.
As the car approached Edinburgh Village, the man drew a gun and threatened the two woman passengers who were in the back seat with him. He then robbed them of their cellphones and jewelry.
Police said the man then pointed the gun at Spencer’s wife at which point Spencer stopped the car, drew a small kitchen knife and began struggling with the robber for the gun. He later told police he kept the knife in the car for protection after he and his fellow taxi drivers were robbed several times in the past.
During the struggle, investigators said, the gun went off, shooting the robber in his forehead. He died on the scene and was identified by his mother as Ibrahim Bourne, of Crown Street, Enterprise, Chaguanas. Bourne was well known to police and had a criminal record which included armed robberies.
Investigators found Bourne’s gun, which was taken to the Forensic Science Centre, St James, for ballistic testing to determine if the gun had been used in other shooting incidents in central Trinidad.
An autopsy will also be done on his body today. Spencer was questioned by investigators and was later released as police believe he acted in self-defence. Spencer, his wife and the other passengers escaped without physical injury but up to late last night were said to be still traumatised.
Senior Supt Deodath Doolarchan, Supt Johnny Abraham and Insp Wayne Lawrence visited the scene and are investigating. "
This robber performed a public service by shooting a criminal in the head. Talk about self-sacrifice!

I have been saying that for months. Patos work the Westminister to his disadvantage.
be fair guys.. PPEE doing their best... :bs:
Funny how the report in which Williams giges assurances thatbhe would get to bottom of this 'immediately'was published on the 3rd, so I presume said it on the 2nd . Well after almost 3 weeks he has no more to say own the matter.
Trinidad and Tobago is a proper third world country.
um what is d worst average murder rate we ever had.................we might have a new record soon...or a SOE >:(
ah mean:
1. why we buildin more stations when d police should be on the streets 24/7 >:( develop a centrally managed dispatch and patrol roster.....dat cyah be so frickin hard
2. why yuh still seein police cars parked under and outside private residence. whey d lo-jack. >:( , stop dat shit and punish who doing it
3. why we not expanding the police investigative capacity. >:( , while it not always possible.....I sure it have instances where cases can be built without witnesses. is jus dat dem fellas and ladies eh know how
4. we still doh have no criminal DNA database >:( or properly enforcible legislation for dat matter :cursing:
ah mean it so hard to get police to do dey wuk right...is we payin dem.........no.......it jus dat we have dis idea dat facilitating nonsense is an accepted part of "we culture" dat should be defended at all cost......alyuh remember anytime Gibbs did move to cut out any nonsense .....Anand Ramasar would kick ah stink talkin shit bout gibbs didn' understand "d culture"
TV6 just showed an officer putting a decapitated head in a bag. The head was found on a table outside a bar.

Question!!We need more civilization and justice not less.
If these murders knew that they would be dead within 24 hours of committing a murder (executed by a death squad), would they still commit that murder?
Think about it! :thinking:
Are you trying to say that taking out these murderers within 24 hours and saving the taxpayers money won't be justice?! ???Question!!We need more civilization and justice not less.

I bet you after the first couple of take outs that the murders would grind to a sudden hault and we will have the lowest monthly murder rate in decades!! Want to bet?!
What you are talking about is natural justice , its what savage man does. It cannot be controlled and will invariably be abused. Ask yourself a few questions . How do you identify who actually did it in the first place ? Will we use hearsay or legitimate investigation. Ask yourself what body will lead a squad that actually goes against the principles of the constitution itself.Are you trying to say that taking out these murderers within 24 hours and saving the taxpayers money won't be justice?! ???Question!!We need more civilization and justice not less.

Boy, 16, shot dead
...Gunmen tell little brother to run
By Gyasi Gonzales
A TEENAGER on his way to share Sunday lunch with his mother was shot dead in John John, East Port of Spain, yesterday.
The victim was identified by police as Shakeel Aberdeen, 16.
Police said Aberdeen and his 12-year-old brother were walking through a track in Africa, John John when four men armed with guns approached them from behind around 11 a.m.
The killers told the younger brother to run home before shooting Aberdeen to the back of his head and back, police said. Aberdeen died on the spot.
Police investigators were unable to give a motive for the killing.
Aberdeen's mother, Sherma Critchlow, who arrived at the murder scene, said her children were staying by a relative a few houses lower down from where she lives.
"For no reason they just shot him in his head and his back and the thing is he was coming up by me for a meal but if ah know that this would have happened to him I would have come to him," she said.
Police officers who were at the scene of the mutiple fatality accident in Sea Lots had to respond to the murder scene to preserve any evidence.
Detectives of the Homicide Bureau and officers of the Crime Scene Unit subsequently arrived on the scene and Aberdeen's body was taken to the Port of Spain Mortuary.
Homicide Bureau officers are continuing investigations.
The murder toll stood at 73 up to last night according to an Express tally, while the murder toll for the comparable period last year stood at 60.
I saw a picture of the Sea Lots crowd after the accident. It looked like BBC Africa was covering another conflict.http://www.youtube.com/v/41Ad_NlJdlc&feature=player_embedded#!
I had tears in my eyes watching this video. Its easy to jump to conclusions about the situation since these communities have a reputation for antisocial behaviour. Upon closer examination I can empathize with the residence on human level. All things considered the spontaneous protest and the disruption caused are forgivable to say the least.I saw a picture of the Sea Lots crowd after the accident.

Some people think they ought to be shot in the head. That's where we are in T&T.
What is the local community leaders doing about this?
No Government can help these people yes.QuoteIt getting to be worse and worse, a damn slum. And the spillage leaking into other areas.My own family almost lose he life, when a man tell him the same "run" statement. Taking a taxi home, he end up getting rob and left with a broken arm. Family run, he a track boy and bad luck he trip. That's when these a$$holes catch him. It's luck he not dead.
These criminals just Stink. Ah wish them death

The prevailing fallacy in the nation is that the "slum" has geographical boundaries. The better view is that the "slum" is collectively the entire country.
Everyone will suffer as a consequence.
Collective future, collective fate.
The faster all citizens wrap their individual heads around that proposition, the better equipped we'll be to address this social decay.

sounds good, but how exactly do we convince all citizens to wrap their head around this. what tangible incentive will be offered up to those outside or inside the 'geographic boundries' to address social decay...and what do we do while we are waiting for everyone to be convinced?

The emergency responders also need to do a (99% increase) much better job of securing crime scenes, accident scenes and disasters. They do a poor job of keeping the public away, minimizing and debriefing the media. These things need drastic improvement.

So...how yuh suggest that they do dat now? Cuz maybe they attempted to and it was seen as sinister.
They can keep their head in the sand, because the decay has been affecting them for a long time now. Whenever you have to think about whether you can wear your new gold chain in town or not, that you have to roll up your window in traffic, that you have to scan the area carefully before you use an atm, or that you need to go jogging before it gets dark. The decay is there and everyone believe it's not their problem, that it's "them" and not "we". But we rather hide than address the sickness.

A female 1st cousin of mines cause the 75th on Monday night..slit the throat of an ex-boyfriend during an altercation at her house.
Should be self-defense but shoulda never reached to that stage.
1st physical fight in a relationship should be the last and end of any relationship.

I'll answer my own question. No! Never! Why? No ------- ------- ---------
So how the As* could Jack Warner could be placed in charge of National Security for the country?

I dunno if is the same thing Feliz talking about butQuotePolice were told Tannis and the suspect had an altercation and his knife fell to the ground. The suspect allegedly picked up the knife and stabbed him.
So during the altercation he had a knife which fell to the ground... she allegedly picks it up and stabs him. Reasonable to assume that he was wielding the knife as a weapon when he lost it... therefore a good self-defense argument.
Jack Warner is usually at the receiving end of accusations.What a mischievous line! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

The amount of money-hiding this man probably does it must be a nightmare for his accountant to keep track.
if it were not for the incredible pressure the yanks brought to bear on t&t's government warner would still be MoNS.
one has to wonder how much evil jack would have to do for the prime minister of our country to have the nerve, or integrity, to demand his resignation.
i've never been a big detractor of the PP, but now i'm a convert....this government has to go.

Lol, I always thought it was inexperience on the part of the PP, from kamla making a fool of herself in india, to the SOE, to the turtle debacle, to the blimp. But the light now too bright to ignore
If it was 1995-2001 I would claim inexperience but these jokers were in power b4 so no excuse. They just plaincluelessclassless.

I actually don't think that they are clueless. They are a lot more calculating and cunning than we give them credit for. It's their blatant lust for corruption that makes them classless and dangerous.

Sad day for the nation
T&T Express Letter
I am very saddened by the resignation of Jack Warner as minister of national security.
For the past few years he worked very hard for the people of this country and I am most certain that many can testify to that. In this Cabinet, he was seen as “the results man” and won the hearts of all.
Of course it is no secret that there were stones thrown at him from various directions due to controversies surrounding his tenure in FIFA and Concacaf.
What strikes me the most is Mr Warner’s ability to work under pressure and still produce results. Murder rates have begun to drop once again and people’s voices are being heard. This is what politics is all about, results and people-centred movement.
I want to say to the PNM, COP and MSJ forces that if they choose to take Mr Warner’s resignation as a victory for them, then they are terribly fooled. This man’s resignation is a statement to the country that even our leaders understand that the country is to be put first, contrary to what the PNM has displayed time and time again.
Mr Warner, I salute you for your great work as minister and your great service to the country and its people. I salute our Prime Minister for her grace under pressure and the tactful way she handled the entire situation, making sure not to bow to the bullying forces.

It seems as if the UNC hierarchy has had enough of Jack and may not nominate him as the candidate for Chaguanas West.
I still believe one day he will run for PM. Age will not stand in his way

don't be so quick to say so. one must consider that the sentiments here in regards to jw may not be the same with the general population. i wouldn't put doubt that we could even see him in the pnm.
I hope not..but....sadly....there seems to be enough people with the thinking that would be willing to take a chance with that.
Well if he wins his seat, it may open up the avenues for more independents to run come election time- This may not be a bad thing as it could lead to better representation.If PNM even entertain the idea of accepting Jack Warner as a candidate then they are on a road to political suicide after all the recent gains.
PNM have real belly if they accept warner, but mind u, pnmites done calling in on radio and 'feeling sorry' for jack as a black man getting sidelined from the UNC.
UNC rejects Jack for by-election
Vasant tipped for seat...
jack is in for a rude awakening when he runs as an independent
jack is in for a rude awakening when he runs as an independent
ENTTTTT
jack is in for a rude awakening when he runs as an independent
ENTTTTT
Actually.
He might win.
Nothing really at stake for the seat...the result of this election doh matter rather than give leverage to the winner.
If it was a general election and the tribal base being stoked....well.....then.....
ack Warner refused to travel on Government business and had too many controversies hanging over his head to be selected as the UNC’s candidate to contest the Chaguanas West by-election, Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said last night.
Persad-Bissessar, speaking at the party’s Monday Night Forum at the Vishnu Boys’ Hindu School, Caroni for the first time explained to the people why Warner could not be supported by her and her Government.
His imbroglio with FIFA and the “Flying Squad” were two of the issues which she named that haunted Warner.
“While he sat in the Cabinet as a Minister of National Security, he refused to travel on Government business on several occasions,” she said.
“These included matters where the Minister of National Security would have been required to attend whether it be in Washington, Toronto, New York and even Haiti,” she added.
Warner, she noted, resigned on his own volition following matters related to FIFA and which to date he has not provided evidence to refute.
“You cannot separate those matters from his position as a Minister since it has the potential to do irreparable damage to the government and the image of our country,” she said.
“No one asked him to resign. Recognising the magnitude of what was revealed in the Ethics Committee report from Panama, he offered his resignation as Minister of National Security and, I accepted, as is my right,” she said.
Warner, she said, is the subject of a police investigation into the establishment of an alleged Flying Squad at the Ministry of National Security.
Warner, she said, admitted that both he and his family are the subject of an enquiry by the Government of the US into a range of corporate white collar criminal offences under federal jurisdiction in the US.
“I have said that should he clear his name, he will be re-instated,” she said.
“Serious statements have been made about this matter by those close to it and which statements are also in the public domain,” she added.
“I am not prepared to burden you with a candidate with all these issues unresolved and in a situation where he had no reason to resign as a Member of Parliament,” said Persad-Bissessar.
“The matters involving him are clearly not limited to Chaguanas West – they involve the nation,” she added.
The UNC, she said, cannot support Warner under the current circumstances.
“Further legal challenges can embarrass the country, the government and you, the people of Chaguanas West,” she said.
Persad-Bissessar said Warner never consulted any institutions of the UNC before his resignations.
“Unilaterally, he returned one of the safest UNC seats that had been given to him on a platter by the UNC and now, he asks you to vote him back. I consider this to be disrespect for the party and for you and, who is to say whether such behaviour would not be repeated in the future,” she said.
Noting that Warner will be holding a public meeting in Felicity on Friday to announce his move, Persad-Bissessar said why did he not go to the people before.
“Where is the loyalty to the party that gave birth to his political career and more so, loyalty to you, members of the UNC and the Partnership,” she said.
“He claims that he is seeking validation.”
The Prime Minister stressed that she stands on the side of public integrity, accountability, credibility and transparency.
“The former MP abandoned you and abandoned the party,” she said.
A stone’s throw away, Warner held a cottage meeting at the Caroni Community Centre where he declared he will be contesting the by-election and come July 29 there will be change.
“Anyone who stands against the UNC stands against every single one of you and every single one of us! United we stand divided we fall,’ said Persad-Bissessar.
The Prime Minister stressed that she stands on the side of public integrity, accountability, credibility and transparency.
Warner goes ‘independent’: ‘I will show T&T good governance’
Dis will be KICKS!!
Buh tactically now.
Assuming Jack get back his seat.
Chain up 8 other MPs to side with him.
What then?
Kamla should have asked Jack Horner about the info Sw.net had on he father. She should have read the comments on this forum. Now she saying he can't travel. PP did not want we advice. Pay the devil, tweet,tweet!

but hear this, if he win his seat, it could be a good thing in the broader perspective.
The PM told her people not to vote for individuals, but vote party. That there is everything that is wrong in T&T politics.
If Jack win, maybe more people may run as individuals and not as part of a party. This way, constituents can hold there MPs responsible for what they do.
I do not like jack but i would like him to win, jus to see what would happen next.

Exactly. Dat option tempting. De ting is...would UNC humble and try to make peace cause they realize that it could be a costly battle?
Would he be motivated to make a play for further power?
What if he loses? Would he try to mash up everything out of bitterness and bussing of files?
Would he ride off quietly into the sunset?
WHAT COULD HAPPEN?

It real interesting...I really not sure how it would go....not in terms of the actual result..but the actual effect in the context of everything.
true talk eh......but ah would be still be veeeeerrrrrrry surprised if d story go "off script", as an asside if Jack still have a political life in dis country even after all his financial wrongdoing it will be a sad indictment of just how rotten and amorale we are as a people once we stand to benefit from someone or something that otherwise does damage to all-else in their wake.

TRAVEL MONEY CAN BUILD HOMES
By Newsday Staff Wednesday, July 3 2013
He wanted to save the country money. This was the reason Jack Warner gave yesterday for not travelling abroad on Government business as National Security Minister.
Warner confirmed Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s claim, made at a public meeting in Caroni on Monday night, that he had refused to travel overseas while in Cabinet, but said he did so because he felt too much was being spent on Government travel.
Ah mean...I know they REAL travel...buh.....how much is that?
Warner said he was in Miami on November 25, last year, when he spoke to Persad-Bissessar. This could be checked ent?
He said, “The Prime Minister asked me to go to Canada, I said no. She asked me to go to Rome, I said no. They asked me to go to India in a massive delegation with Government funding and so on, I said no I won’t go to India.” Which Government? TT or India?
The Prime Minister led a delegation to India in January 2012, and travelled to Canada on a State visit in April, this year.
Warner said the cost of Government travel over the past three years could have built between 1,000 to 2,000 homes in each constituency and he did not want to be party to spending money that could have been put to better use.
Arhm.....41 x 1000 x average CONSERVATIVE (and likely unrealistic) $500,000 per house = $20,500,000,000

Bottomless Money pit.
T&T Guardian Reports.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has questioned the source of Jack Warner’s Chaguanas West by-election campaign funding. However, Warner yesterday refused to comment on the matter, saying he would not be drawn into any argument with his former leader. Speaking at the UNC’s Monday Night Forum in Warrenville, Cunupia, Persad-Bissessar told supporters: “Warner appears to have a bottomless pit of money.”
She said with his unlimited finances, Warner would “outspend” the UNC in his campaign with television advertisements and full-page ads. She added: “With his amassed wealth—no media is asking where he get the money from? Whether it come from England, America or even Haiti. But everyone who is supportive of the UNC is called a financier.” The Prime Minister also accused Warner of “trying to buy out our supporters.”

Jack: I gave up US green card
By Joel Julien
Warner said the only person who was with him at the time was his then adviser, Francis Joseph.
In June, Joseph was appointed Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s press secretary.
....
I took Francis Joseph with me, who is now her chief media adviser, and time to come I will say more about Francis Joseph, he’s for a different time, not for now. I took him with me to the US Embassy and I told them I want to give up this green card for a visa,” he said.
................
“They calling me a lagahoo because I am out early in the morning. But I don’t be drunk that hour or have a hangover so I can go and do the people’s work,” Warner said.
Warner said he plans to show only one picture of Ameen, and it has nothing to do with her “morals and dignity as a woman”, but it will show “her incompetence”.
Kamla actually has been a lot dirtier than Warner and she started it too. I don't know if Warner even need to release in compromising photo's of Ameen. In any case when you want to play dirty you should let an anonymous hatchetman to do that.Jack: I gave up US green card

Exactly Frances eat ah food Joesph
A Government directive to withdraw former FIFA vice-president and up-coming Chaguanas West by-election candidate Jack Warner’s diplomatic passport could be a well-engineered plan to take him out of the election equation, a legal source is alleging. The diplomatic passport, issued to all Government MPs, gave Warner protective immunity and without it, he is now open to possible extradition by US law-enforcement authorities, the source said.
“Remember Warner’s son, Daryan Warner, has been named as a co-operating witness into an FBI investigation into FIFA corruption.” Warner, at a Chaguanas West meeting, strenuously denied that he or any of his family members is being investigated by US authorities. But the legal source, requesting strict anonymity, insisted, “Without the immunity provided by his diplomatic passport, the US can now request Warner’s extradition.”
He continued,“The timing of the Government’s retrieval of Warner’s diplomatic passport is very opportune and relevant. “It would be a challenge for the Government if he wins the Chaguanas West by-election. It could spell the downfall of the People’s Partnership Government. Other dissatisfied government MPs will want to leave.”
The T&T Guardian contacted the US Embassy, asking if that country put pressure on the T&T Government to retrieve Warner’s passport and if he was under any investigation in the US. It was also asked if Warner could now be nabbed by US marshals. But the US remains tightlipped about the Warner matter. Press specialist Charleen Thomas sent back a release which she said should be viewed as a US Embassy response to the questions.
“As a matter of long standing policy, we are not able to comment on law-enforcement matters or on individual immigration cases. “Any questions related to T&T passports should be directed to the Government of T&T.” Warner resigned as national security minister and Chaguanas West MP amidst widespread calls for him to do so after a damning report on Concacaf during his tenure there.
He was rejected by the Government as a UNC candidate in the July 29 Chaguanas West by-election and has formed his own party, the Independent Liberal Party, to contest the seat. He said on Thursday he received a call from acting Chief Immigration Officer Keith Sampson telling him to immediately surrender his diplomatic passport. Acting Foreign Affairs Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal said the ministry asked the National Security Ministry to assist with retrieving it.
Moonilal, in a newspaper interview, said the passport is the property of the Government of T&T and must be returned when a minister no longer holds office. The Guardian called Attorney General Anand Ramlogan for a response on the matter but he said he does not issue passports, and to check with the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Lisa Daniel-Charles, communications officer at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, said there was no information there about the US putting pressure on the Government to retrieve Warner’s passport. The Guardian tried National Security Minister Emmanuel George, under whose ministry the Immigration Division falls, but he referred the matter back to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Told that some are of the view that the retrieval of Warner’s passport is a plan to remove him from the Chaguanas West by-election equation, he replied, “Let them say that. “People are saying all sorts of things.” Pressed on the Warner issue, George said, “I don’t know. Don’t ask me. You are asking me things I am not familiar with.”
Panday’s Response
Former prime minister Basdeo Panday, asked his views on the handing back of diplomatic passports, said it is the government that can determine who has one and who does not. Giving his own experience, Panday said, “When I ceased to be a member of Cabinet, I handed up my diplomatic passport. And I also gave it up when I was no longer prime minister or leader of the opposition.
“I went on blue (passports for ordinary citizens). And when that expired, I applied through the Parliament and was told I am entitled (as a former prime minister) to a diplomatic passport. “Yes, I have a diplomatic passport. It’s stamped ‘former prime minister.’” Panday said the government, after you have given up your diplomatic passport, can decide if to allow you to have one again. He said he was unaware the US wanted Warner for an investigation or is seeking to extradite him.
Panday, who was ousted as leader of the UNC by Persad-Bissessar, said he has no doubt, however, that the timing of the retrieval of Warner’s passport has to do with “the present political struggles and the upcoming local government elections.”

‘...Attack on Hindus in campaign’
The Chaguanas West by-election campaign has “an undercurrent of an attack on the Hindu community”, United National Congress deputy political leader Dr Roodal Moonilal said yesterday.
“We will not see it at first sight...you don’t see the undercurrent so sometimes you can participate in your own denigration without knowing. It is not coincidental that there is an attack on the (children of Dr Suruj Rambachan and Chandresh Sharma)—a Hindu child. What they are trying to develop is the idea that if your children are successful they thief to get there... It is a way to demonise your community,” he said.
“I driving the same vehicle for two years, a Rover SUV and is only when the campaign start and Jack Warner start campaigning they start attacking me for the vehicle. So I stop using it because I say I don’t want to distract from the campaign. It is now parked in a garage somewhere. It is the same money we paying every month and nobody saying anything. You can pay the same money every month once Roodal Moonilal not using it. It is the same money, you know, but I must not use it. I must still be on the bull-cart,” he said.
“If I use a Rover or a BMW, that is not for you, but if Keith Rowley was doing that before that is fine. That is good. What he is saying now in 2013 is put you back on that bison. They want you back there and want to use different strategies. This is a time of awakening for us. You must see what is happening. You must see the attack.”
He referred to his former Cabinet colleague, interim political leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) Jack Warner only as “he”, saying that his supporters were “only putting mala (a Hindu garland) on this fella. They put about 20 mala on him, you couldn’t see his face. But when I look through the list of people recommended (in Chaguanas West) for housing I didn’t see anybody named Mala, you know”.

"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us actually dislike milk and apples. Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades) contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig. We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples."
Ah boiiii....Your Prime Minister is bowing and touching the feet of Sat Maharaj...This woman likes to bow boy. Imagine Sat Maharaj, a known racist and divider of people she doesn't even care about how it looks to the nation.

Don’t sell out for box drains
Moonilal warns worshippers:

United National Congress (UNC) deputy political leader Dr Roodal Moonilal yesterday warned Sunday morning worshippers at the Devi Temple in Chaguanas against selling out their legacy of UNC representation for a box drain or road that will mash up in five or ten years.
“As happy as you are that you have gotten a road or a drain, and that is only in some places, eh, the drain will mash up. Do you know in five to ten years you will come for a drain again? That box drain go mash up. That road go mash up. It will need fixing again. When you build schools and send your children to school they will become doctors and engineers. They will upgrade not only themselves but their whole communities,” Moonilal told the audience.
He and several of his Cabinet colleagues, including Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan, Transport Minister Chandresh Sharma and Food Production Minister Devant Maharaj, attended Sunday morning service at the temple on the invitation of Maha Sabha secretary general Sat Maharaj.
“When we build schools, the Maha Sabha builds schools, we give children that opportunity. But today, people want to sell out that legacy for a box drain. That will mash up. The road will be damaged but your education will not go,” said Moonilal.
He referred to his former Cabinet colleague, ex-MP for Chaguanas West and now interim political leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) Jack Warner, only as “he”, saying that “he” wanted to throw out the UNC from its safest “homeland seat”.
“The people of Chaguanas West have always voted for everyone we have ever selected. Today he is saying forget that history, forget your values and vote for (him) because I did give yuh a few box drains.”
Moonilal said he had paved several roads in his own constituency of Oropouche East, but that did not give him the deed to that area.
“I am in the Government and the Government has resources and I use the resources to help the people who elected me. That is my duty.”
The problem, though, Moonilal said, was not July 29, the date of the by-election, but after.
“I see what happening here already. When they get some votes on the 29th they will want to intervene in local government elections. If we do not play this right we stand to lose Chaguanas borough for the first time in life; we stand to lose Siparia; we stand to lose Mayaro; Rio Claro; Tunapuna.
“All of those they will intervene and seek to defeat us and when they do that, in the general elections they will seek to defeat us in the marginal seats. You know in 2001 we lost the whole government by 195 votes.”
He continued: “I am convinced the UNC and Khadijah Ameen will win the election, but we must not win by a narrow margin. We have to win by an overwhelming victory—a landslide. We must win by a landslide.”

UNC brings in Bollywood’s Kumar Sanu while Jack opts for Ramayan yagna for by-election finale

There will be partying and prayers in Felicity tomorrow with the United National Congress (UNC) bringing in Indian playback singer Kumar Sanu to serenade voters whilst the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) will hold a Ramayan Yagna.
There is a total of 27,051 voters in the Chaguanas West by-election, 6,000 of whom are from Felicity.
Both parties have stepped up campaigning in the area for the past week in a bid to secure to victory in the election.
A poll commissioned by the Express and done by Solution by Simulation led by pollster Nigel Henry has put ILP interim leader Jack Warner in front.
Losing the constituency, regarded as a “UNC safe seat”, will be a major blow for the UNC Government if Warner creates history and wins it as an independent candidate.
Tomorrow, at the Pierre Road recreation grounds in Charlieville, the UNC will hold a mass public meeting at 3 p.m. with Sanu as its star performer.
ILP interim political leader Warner will host a Ramayan Yagna at the Shri Kristen Mandir in Lyle Lane Street, Felicity, from 7 p.m. The Express was told that Sanu’s usual performance fee was approximately US$25,000 plus first class travel and hotel accommodation.
Sanu arrived yesterday evening and will depart on Sunday.
A release from the UNC’s Chaguanas West campaign office stated that in addition to Sanu, a number of top local artistes will perform.
A battery of speakers will also be on stage with the feature address by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Voters will also hear from UNC candidate Khadijah Ameen.
Sanu is no stranger to Trinidad as he performed at several concerts here over the years.
However, this is the first time that he will be gracing this country’s shores to mount a political platform and belt out his hits.
The award-winning singer is billed to perform for one hour after the speeches and will be accompanied by his leading musician Somen Sankar with the support of a local band.
Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal who arranged Sanu’s visit said yesterday that a massive turnout is anticipated.
“We were very pleased that despite a very hectic schedule of recording and personal engagements, Kumar Sanu was able to fit us in,” he stated.
“We are expecting a massive crowd on Saturday to what will be a fitting closing event to our very successful campaign in which we expect to have the UNC retain the seat for Chaguanas West. Kumar Sanu’s appearance will be the crescendo to a fabulous event,” added Moonilal.
Earlier this year Sanu was in Trinidad and performed at the Chutney Brass Festival at Guaracara Park, Pointe-a-Pierre.
Promoter Randy Glasgow told the Express yesterday by phone that Sanu contacted him and told him he will be coming to Trinidad.
Questioned on Sanu’s fees, Glasgow said that not all performers, no matter how big they are, charge a fee.
“If somebody is your friend regardless of how big they are, it is not always about money,” he said, adding that once good treatment is given artistes tend to come with no cost. Asked about Sanu’s decision to perform for the first time on a political platform in this country, Glasgow said, “In the United States he would support Senators who were going up for election with East Indian roots, this is not something new to him.”
Chief executive officer of Caribbean Lifestyle Communications Ltd, Tony Maharaj, who recently flew in Indian superstars Udit Narayan and Alka Yagnik to perform in Trinidad said political parties were free to bring in artistes to boost their campaigns.
“Political parties are free to campaign in any way and if they think that is going to enhance their campaign, that is something that is entirely their decision,” he said.
“My personal view, I don’t think an artiste coming to perform will help a voter in any way to make a decision as to which way he or she would vote,” he added.
Sanu: Moonilal a good man

Indian superstar Kumar Sanu said last night that people should vote for the United National Congress (UNC) because its deputy leader Dr Roodal Moonilal is a “good man”.
Sanu arrived at Piarco International Airport around 7 p.m and spoke to the Express briefly just before leaving for his hotel.
“I know Dr Moonilal very well and I came for him and it’s just a friendly trip and I’m performing first time for any political party,” he said.
Sanu explained this is his first performance on a political stage outside of India.
Questioned on what drove him to do this, Sanu responded, “It’s a good thing because he’s a good man and I think people should vote him (Moonilal)”.
Told that Moonilal is not contesting the Chaguanas West by-election, Sanu said, “I mean his party should get the vote, that is the main thing.”
Sanu has been to this country on several occasions to perform.
The one with the insignificant Muslim coolie is the best one......talk about something coming back to bite yuh in de arse.....

Nah I like the fact that they borrow d ad wit Jennings from d PNM because they use that against Jack now they using it. You have to :rotfl:
Ah see some mod change mih poll (thanks)
The sad thing about this particular election is that the PNM fella is probably the least tainted and will lose he deposit .
If Jack win this he aint going to stop there, he will make a serious run for the Hyatt House.
If he lose, he must have some sort of strategy for dat, maybe he will release files and bring down the PP forcing an early general elections, then is more baccahnal
The cleanest candidate who ran a clean and honest campaign may lose his deposit. This country is weird. I am sorry but this country has always gotten what it deserves.
What ever them Chaguanas people get they look for it. This is a reflection of society.
People not voting for Jack...People didn't vote against Top in Tobago. They voting against Kamla...Kamla isn't liked. The woman doesn't really understand just how low her stock has fallen. People are disgusted with her and her cabinet. Showgirl's head are still in the clouds. Oh and a next thing Moonilal.

You cant see the trees for the forest or what?
What stopping Jack from making a succesful run to the Hyatt House, surely not your beloved PNM and that band of misfits
Volney will join ILP. Anil and some mates will cross the floor. Rowley will call a vote of no confidence. Election called for October. PNM back in the hot seat by November after a deal with COP.
Yuh read it here first.
It have no deal with COP...COP dead and each and everyday Prakash trying to find a way to reabsorb Cop back into Unc. Seeing that Jack was Cop's biggest issue whilst in the PP, now that he gone, COP will try and seek comfort by folding back into the UNC. But all in all, COP is a non entity. Jack green going and grow. He's the next prime minister as long as he keep his head above water. Rowley can't fight Jack. At most votes will split but Jack going an either be leader of oppostion or prime minister in the near future. The political class has successfully managed to create an electorate dependent on gifts and Jack loves to give gifts and trinkets. It's a match made in heaven.
The problem with Trinidad politics is that everyone has skeletons and secrets. That's why nobody wanted to run against Jack. Too many people have too much to hide. What more needs to be said about Jack to convince people that he is corrupt etc? You can't fight Jack. Jack will bring you done into the gutter. Jack's been playing chess with these people and they don't even see it. In one night, they are on the brink of collapse and he hasn't even trained his guns on the rest of them as yet.
I would love to see him take on the east west corridor. I think the Pnm has been stuttering by. All these parties need a rude awakening to shake them up. If Jack put a decent side together he could win easily. The only place I could see him getting difficulty is Tobago. Gosh I love those people. They hold firm to their principles, they don't budge. Tobago should just break away and chart their own destiny. I get the feeling that Trinidad is keeping Tobago from fulfilling its own potential. We keeping them back.
The political class reaping what they sow. When alluh feel Jack was up in his office at 3 am taking meetings, it wasn't no joke. The man put in the work and the people reward that. The AG's vehicle run over a man's foot today. His response was classless and unbecoming of a human being. The dance now start and the next few weeks should be highly entertaining.

Tobago not falling. The thing is the amount of people that suffering in this place, they could live with a politician stealing but giving a bit to the people. This bunch wanna keep all to themselves and flaunt it in their faces. Take Moonilal and the range rover for instance. Jack sharing the loot.
^^^ It was the cabal...You aint realise the man already done start to separate the two. Where Soldier Sandy and his manic man, mimic mind speech? Big hardback battle worn Brigadier like he have Anand and them giving him paper to read in parliament. What a joker.
Alluh fraid Jack but how soon until Ian Alleyne go up for elections? The bar lowwwwwwwwww
Newly appointed Chairman of the Independent Liberal Party Robin Montano says that they don't want anybody joining the ILP who is just hopping on a bandwagon.
This is Robin Montano to date has been an active member of 4 political parties.

I dont think you all understand just how low the bar is in politics here and how easy it is to impress people. All people want are a few box drain etc and to see their MP to appear hardworking. So what if seats like Diego Martin etc don't want for much. They are just a few places around the country that want for very little. The PNM barely won that seat last time. Call it the Manning effect or whatever but PNM still hasn't washed that stink from it.
Volney resign from UNC. Breaking
Anil is D'abadie Omeara. Roger Samuel is Arima.
I dunno how different the result would have been in a general election, or if Kamla was still popular. I however note the fact of "so wha if he tief? He do plenty for people" which real people using as a mantra or a justification. I not sure how much effect that would have if ILP were to contest a general or local govt election...but its an eye opening thing.
And a testament to the kind of "representation" people have gotten.

The Independent Liberal Party (ILP) will officially launch its campaign for the local government elections next Friday.
ILP interim leader Jack Warner returned to the Parliament yesterday and was sworn in, having won the Chaguanas West by-election on Monday as the ILP candidate.
Questioned by the media on what it was like to be back, Warner said he felt at home after a three-month hiatus where he engaged in a “bruising campaign” with Government machinery against him yet he emerged successful with a landslide victory in the United National Congress (UNC) heartland.
Warner said it was unprecedented that he won all 51 polling stations in the by-election. The launch of the ILP’s local government election campaign, he said, will take place on Friday next to the Tunapuna market.
He said the ILP will definitely be vying for the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation and the Chaguanas Borough Corporation as these two corporations service the needs of his constituency and he cannot deliver to the people without their assistance.
Warner said the Sangre Grande Corporation will also be contested by the ILP, pointing out that councillors from that corporation have joined ranks with the ILP.
A strategic committee, he said, will look at what other corporations the ILP will contest.
Warner said there were some persons who were still “bitter and vindictive” in the aftermath of the Chaguanas West by-election but he will deal with them at a convenient time and expose them to the public.
The spotlight was on Warner at yesterday’s parliamentary opening and he was greeted by a number of former colleagues as well as members from the Opposition and Independent benches.
“I was greeted only by Gypsy, Fuad Khan and Volney...as expected all the others were just merely sham and I didn’t take them seriously, some of them couldn’t even open their eye,” said Warner.
He said when Attorney General Anand Ramlogan greeted him, he told the AG that he was disappointed in him.
Warner said he could not be bothered by COP leader Prakash Ramadhar’s greeting as Ramadhar had said he sent a congratulatory message and Warner responded, “Yes, yeah right.”
Warner blanked the cocktail reception which followed the parliamentary opening. He opted for a private drink with his friends at the Hyatt Regency hotel.
“Mr Khan is my friend, he’s always been and will always be through good time and bad times and so too is Gypsy and so too is Volney, that’s why we are going for our own private drink at the Hyatt and not mixing with them upstairs because I can’t “chook” with people who don’t like me and otherwise,” he said.
On President Anthony Carmona’s speech, Warner said it was the best he has ever heard and it should be published and distributed to the people and everyone should have a copy of it in their homes.
The implications of Jack Warner’s return to parliament and the manner of his ascendancy have created shockwaves in the political landscape. One week after Jack Warner’s victory at the polls political ads are still being run on primetime television. He’s using the momentum of the electoral victory to occupy the public’s mental space as he is not satisfied with Chagaunas West alone. The perennial kingmaker wants a crack at the throne for himself.:beermug: :beermug: :beermug:
The culture of dependency in Trinidad especially has reached maturity to the extent that Jack Warner boldly refers to himself as Uncle Jack - A trustworthy and benevolent character ready to deliver goodies to all and sundry. The people of Chaguanas West apparently lapped it up. I listened to his plans and quietly asked is he saying that in order to be a good MP you must possess enormous sums of wealth and use it to ‘help’ people.To many who read that last sentence it may appear harmless in fact virtuous. It’s just that it’s not actually a plan, it’s not sustainable and it’s not replicable.
I observed this election with a degree of amusement. Not to be frivolous but it was the only emotion I could muster from the insanity that ensued. I saw Kamla Persad-Bissessar feign ignorance as is her custom when she attacked Jack Warner on matters that she consistently defended him about for the past three years. I also saw Jack Warner paint a picture of a cabal hell bent on manipulating the Prime Minister. In the background of that picturelay a group of non-performers and farther still another group concerned only with enriching themselves and their families. To the ignorant it must appear that these convictions had their genesis mere months ago. To the diligent it smacks of unbridled hypocrisy and inextricable, intertwined corruption
To say that Warner is unsuitable for public office is a truism and an understatement. That fact the he has been re-elected is an indictment on the ethical judgment of the voters and the failure of our political system to filter and discard those of reprehensible character, even when it is blatant. The irony of this disaster is despite all of Jack Warner’s sins committed at TTFF/TTFA, CFU, CONCACAF, and FIFA and despite all of his cowboy style of maneuvering and utter disregard for institutional procedures and the rule of law he has managed to hold the trust of voters. Staying close the ground, touching folks and being accessible are basic tenets for office seekers to follow. He did that better than anyone and it helped to always have a team of video journalists there to record it.
One notable shift in way we vote is that if and when a constituency’s preferred party defies their wishes regarding the choice of candidate voters will either abstain or defect. Patrick Manning made this mistake in 2010 when he spurned Penelope Beckles and the PNM lost Arima. Kamla Persad-Bissessar was not mindful and even worse was complacent in her selection of Khadija Ameen who to be polite was a weak candidate. Persad-Bissessar thought that she could depend on traditional support. She was wrong and her concession speech revealed a lack of stability in her Government.
I looked on as councilors and recycled politicians switched sides and read the comments from various MPs within the People’s Partnership obfuscating their intent to pursue the next opportunity and can’t help but feel that the whole thing is rotten. It’s old wine in an old wineskin, dyed green. They have no cogent philosophy and no plan beyond winning elections which at this point should be all too familiar to us. We the people must take these parties to task evaluate them intelligently. If not the trend of poor governance on the road to state failure will continue.
Jack: AG must step down
T&T Newsday
Warner even spoke of misconduct claims against him during his tenure as a FIFA vice-president.
“Jack Warner and FIFA, 20,000 miles away had allegations, and here we are with allegations of national interest and she is at a loss to take on that?” he asked.
“How could she hold that against Jack Warner and Ramadharsingh and not Ramlogan? And if she understands that Ramlogan is the Achilles heel of the Government, she’ll act sooner than later,” Warner said.
President Anthony Carmona has appointed a three-member tribunal to enquire and verify the contents of declarations of income, assets and liabilities of the leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) Jack Warner.
The tribunal, which includes retired Justice Sebastian Ventour, Dr Selly-Ann Lalchan and Deonarine Jaggernauth, will also enquire into Warner’s statements of registrable interests which were filed with the Integrity Commission.
So my take on this situation is that the AG must resign and will be disbarred. When he does resign the government will in essence have fallen as its Chief Legal Adviser has broken the law and has done so in a manner which taints his ethics and subsequently brings everything he has done since holding office into question. This means that elections must be called ASAP but knowing this Government they would find some excuse to declare a SOE note the comments by the Polce Service welfare Association...
Warner claims Chag Convention Centre leased to Moonilal’s friend
http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2015-02-21/warner-claims-chag-convention-centre-leased-moonilal’s-friend (http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2015-02-21/warner-claims-chag-convention-centre-leased-moonilal’s-friend)
Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner claimed yesterday the Government had leased the Chaguaramas Convention Centre to a businessman who is a friend of Housing Minister Dr Roodal Moonilal. Warner was speaking to reporters after yesterday’s sitting of the House of Representatives. He said he attempted to have the issue “put on the record” in Parliament but did not succeed. Warner told reporters the facility was leased for $30 million.
She also accused several staff members at the office of being impolite.
“They don’t know how to treat people and talk to people,” she said, claiming that other constituents also were disenchanted with Warner’s representation.

Jack walks out too
By SEAN DOUGLAS (Newsday).
Mark responded, “It is a substantive motion against the Member for Diego Martin West. All gloves are off with respect to that Member, but not other Members. The only person under the spotlight is the Leader of the Opposition.”
Earlier Warner had accused St Augustine MP Prakash Ramadhar of blind loyalty to the Government, but was told by the Speaker, “Do not reflect on a Member’s character.”
Asking if the Government side would try to fire Rowley as Opposition Leader, Warner said Government MPs had not appointed him and so could not move him. He said Opposition MPs had chosen Rowley as leader.
“To come here with this motion is an abuse of parliamentary time,” he chided the Government. “This has to be an abuse, a waste of Parliament’s time and resources”. The motion is “frivolous in the extreme,” he hit.
Damn, this govt making Jack look like "the man of the people".

The judge did not order Warner to pay Baksh but instead ordered the TTFF and LOC, to pay the $1,262,413.19, with interest.No that is fair, TTFF had to advertise to make money on the cup, so that is a normal expense. The unfairness only come in if they could track the returns / profits etc that somehow disappear.
So, is Tim Kee and company now have to pay that? Grossly unfair. But..... he is TTFF/TTFA now!!!
FIFA Officials Arrested on Corruption Charges; Blatter Isn’t Among Them
The law enforcement official said the soccer officials charged are Jeffrey Webb, Eugenio Figueredo, Jack Warner, Eduardo Li, Julio Rocha, Costas Takkas, Rafael Esquivel, José Maria Marin and Nicolás Leoz.
Charges were also expected against the sports-marketing executives Alejandro Burzaco, Aaron Davidson, Hugo Jinkis and Mariano Jinkis. Authorities also charged José Margulies as an intermediary who facilitated illegal payments
Well, Mr. Jack....... What do have to say now.
Lawd- hush nah doh say no more - people want to see this man play "hang Jack"

But we can ask what was the political thinking of Trinidadian Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar when she forged a close political alliance with Mr Warner for the general election of 2010, after persistent public allegations about his conduct in the affairs of CONCACAF and FIFA, leading to his resignation from posts in both organisations.
Although he had not been formally charged or convicted of any crime, there was certainly enough smoke for any reasonable person to surmise that there may be some fire. In such a situation, why would a politically astute and seasoned politician take the risk of close association with Mr Warner?
What was Mrs Persad-Bissessar thinking when she allowed him to become chairman of the United National Congress (UNC) Alliance? Was it the fact that Mr Warner is an Afro-Trinidadian and could racially balance the Indo-Trinidadian UNC party?
Further, it begs the question what was the prime minister thinking when she appointed Mr Warner minister of works and transport in 2010? He continued in the post even after he had to resign from his top positions in FIFA and CONCACAF in 2011 under a barrage of accusations of fraud and misconduct.
"If there is any truth in that Mr Warner is in a position to tell us the whole truth and nothing but the truth, and I draw your attention to how this said Government dealt with Section 34 and the other two financiers when Mr Warner was in the Cabinet, and it is my view that Mr Warner has information which can elucidate for us what happened with Section 34 in a Cabinet of which he was a part," Rowley said.
"And what I would say to Mr Warner on that subject is if he wants to tell us the story, tell us the whole story.
“Two other financiers got themselves virtually freed from judicial action because the Cabinet took actions in the Parliament, at the level of the Cabinet, at the Office of the President with an outcome in the court under the infamous Section 34 action of this Government to ensure that those financiers did not have their day in court as they should have had, and if he is handled differently now and he wants to complain about his treatment he must tell us the whole story so we can compare apples with the oranges that he talking about," he said.
Jack claims Fifa $$$ funded PP.I wold be really interested in reading a book written by Warner before he die. In my opinion he understand the trinidadian (not necessarily tobagonian) psyche better than almost anybody, hence his 'success' as a politician.

I will no longer keep secrets for those persons who seek to actively destroy this country's hard-won international image.
Jack claims Fifa $$$ funded PP.I wold be really interested in reading a book written by Warner before he die. In my opinion he understand the trinidadian (not necessarily tobagonian) psyche better than almost anybody, hence his 'success' as a politician.

Ah get yuh. However, in the publication's view, the sources likely are of sufficient competence to stand independently as "credible". As such, the Express likely met its threshold of responsibility.
The initial leaking of the information rests in mischief and is provocative. Keep yuh mouth shut and let the process take its course.
...
Fair enough, but that right there for me is the problem with the Express and other local publications . To what standard of credibility are their sources being held?

Valid question. We observe problems with this on a continual basis.
There's a recent tweet from the embassy, but no media release on the embassy site.

I would like to thank Jack Warner and his ILP party for their crucial role in helping to get rid of the most corrupt government in T&T history.I hope you aren't serious.
I think Dr Rowley should offer JW a senator position in government if Jack would accept one.

Don't honestly believe that anything will come of it within the next 10 years but we will see.
I thought Jack retired from leadership of the party.
I don't think we will see Jack's actual political retirement until Kamla loses the UNC internal elections - I'm sure that's his next goal.:beermug:

Jack Warner gets MBA
Sunday, November 15 2015
INDEPENDENT Liberal Party (ILP) former leader, Jack Warner, 72, was awarded a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) degree issued by Anglia Ruskin University at the School of Accounting and Management (SAM) graduation ceremony at the Hilton Trinidad, Port-of-Spain on November 8.
Fascinatingly, he was among an unusually high number of fellow-graduates who were also present and/or former members of the former People’s Partnership government.
Those also receiving MBAs including United National Congress (UNC) acting chairman, Khadijah Ameen; former tourism minister, Chandresh Sharma; former Congress of the People councillor, Kevan Gibbs; and former Strategic Services Agency head, Reshmi Ramnarine
Please join us in wishing Happy Birthday to former FIFA Vice President, CONCACAF President and T&T Cabinet Minister AUSTIN 'JACK' WARNER as he celebrates 73 years of life on earth today 🇹🇹
Justice Aboud also ordered the US to pay Warner’s legal costs in defending the application.
Warner called the ruling a victory for the sovereignty of the twin-island republic.
