The passion of the people was felt at the UNC's Voice of the People Rally today.
Speakers voiced their frustrations at the current PNM administration, calling for change.
But two speakers cried out for petty differences to be put aside calling for real unity in the country.
Once again, an assembly of leaders is calling for the removal of the current administration.
Some even took a humorous approach.
Two speakers chose to rise above the political differences and called for unity among the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
NJAC chief servant Makandal Daaga asked if we had learned anything from the 1970s revolution. He recalled the march to Caroni where he said people opened their doors to total strangers because they saw beyond race or creed. They saw only human beings.
The rally was a strong show of unity of opposition forces. Rubadiri Victor, Stephen Cadiz, and David Abdullah were also feature speakers.

Rowley not likely to contest
While the party swings into full election mode yesterday speculation was rife as to who will or will not get the party’s nod to contest a seat. Party sources said Diego Martin West MP Keith Rowley was not likely to contest his seat. “This is because he will have to appear before the screening committee on which Manning is the chairman. He is out long time and he knows it,” the source added. Brigid Annisette-George, meanwhile, has been asked to consider contesting Diego Martin West by some constituents. They are also looking at Minister of Culture Marlene Mc Donald, MP for Port-of-Spain South. Rowley could not be reached for comment. It is unclear whether Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West MP Gary Hunt will be selected following his poor handling of the controversy surrounding the purchase of a $2 million national flag.

Lee Yuen said that that if Manning does not set a date immediately, ’his statement is nothing but a desperate political ploy designed to ease the current tensions within the PNM and to shift the dissatisfaction of the citizenry of T&T on the government’s squandermania and current allegations of corruption.’[/size]
COP said it was clear that Manning was now recognising the storm clouds gathering around him.

Rowley to Manning
Ria Taitt Political Editor
Monday, March 29th 2010
Responding to the Prime Minister’s call to the party to submit nominations for a general election, controversial Diego Martin West MP Dr Keith Rowley has signaled that he intends to submit his name as a candidate.
Rowley, who was in Barbados and missed the party’s special convention on Saturday, spoke with the Express via phone from Barbados yesterday, one day after Prime Minister Patrick Manning, his political leader, called for nominations for candidates for the general election. Screening of candidates begins on April 7.
Many feel that a general election signals the political end of Rowley’s career as a PNM MP... more... http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/nart?id=161616970

Prime Minister Patrick Manning has turned down an invitation by Archbishop Barbara Gray-Burke to attend this year’s Spiritual Shouter Baptist Liberation Day celebrations.
Gray-Burke, a former UNC senator, said she sent an invitation to Manning sometime in January but was informed that he would be unable to attend.
She has also had no success in meeting with the Prime Minister to discuss the proposed primary school in Maloney.
’Last year when we met with him he said he have no money because of the recession,’ she said on Saturday.
’I feel deeply hurt when I see a Pentecostal church being built ( at the Heights of Guanapo) and there are no approvals. We have all the approvals and we can’t get the funding. I feel he should have appreciated us but he has sidelined us.
’I wrote him in January about this year’s holiday and asked him to attend and his secretary said he is unable to attend. I’ve been trying to get an audience with him to discuss the school as well, but have not gotten any feedback on that. I never did him anything and I don’t know why he treating me so.’

:'( :'( :'( so sad eh....sigh
There are many things I can say about the honourable PM, but reading this thread the one stands out. The man is a brilliant political strategist.. Given the devaluation of the PNM stock what better time to call an election than when he is still seen as the less of two evils, before public mistrust of the opposition is replaced by public outcry against his leaderhip or some may say lack there off. (guess 5 more years is better than 3)
Personally I really don't an election right now, because no party has presented itself as a viable alternative. The PNM will be reelected and the whole election be unneeded public expenditure. The only possible positive outcome would be the final nail in the silver fox coffin, that is if public sentiment prevails, we will have to wait for the Preacher to have his turn.

This question is for TC, given the flaws of mr manning this rounds, and knowing yuhs ah big PNM supporter, would you still support the PNM in this election or yuh jumpin ship for this one?

hahahahaha the truth is, and it may be hard to understand, is that I am NOT a big PNM supporter. I stated last time as long as Panday involved in the UNC I could not support them, well he gone but get replaced by another that I cannot support in principle.
The trouble is Patrick Manning! I would vote NM, BUT>>>>dat man does irk me.and real bad too.
I will have a talk with Kamal, and I am serious when I say that...and make up my mind, as for now I am not sure she has what it takes, but that can change...PNM with Manning is a dead horse.

i on kicks breds, ah know it's ah typo, and it's kamla yuh really meant tuh say. breds all i could say iz, the UNC left ah bad taste in my mouth when they were in power.
they divided the country along racial lines and encourage this indian african political rivalry, which could lead to ah similar bipartisan warfare that crippled jamaica to this day.
i saw panday @ JFK 2002, the man whole security detail was 100% indian, not ah black , ah white, ah french creole, ah dougla, or ah chinee. ah said to myself, this fella is the indian equivalent of ah george wallace?
and the sad part of that iz, kamla, dookeran, ramesh, sat maharaj, and all the other pretentious fackers who claims tuh distance them selves from the tiger, all knew he was ah no good racist, but went along for political gain!
and dum trinis want tuh vote them ppl back in power ? they will just do the same thing they did before. the PNM is the lesser of all the evils i'm sure. just wait and see.
every time UNC attack the PNM it's trump card is the crime situation. but i will ask ah simple question, do ppl really think that mannin and the PNM not losing sleep over how tuh contain and eradicate the senseless crime in the country?
personally, i don't think the UNC has the solution either. this crime thing is ah wild fire burning out of control and it will take more than wishful thinking to snuff out crime and criminals. actually the crime epidemic is not even ah national security issue, but ah result of judicial backwardness.
the whole constitution has tuh change, and gun laws have to be implemented in order tuh quench the crime situation. and if that is not addressed, kamla with all her great intention will meet the same brick wall that mannin , joseph and philbert ran into!
She look good!!!!!!
When i look @ ppl like this kamla woman, my blood does run cold!! to me, them UNC ppl doh look like they will do anything different than what the past governments has done. as ah matter of fact, them look like they will totally ignore the grass roots ppl and cater more for the upper crust and their constituency.
after panday, i can't trust any UNC leader to be equitable. when i visited TNT under the UNC/ panday's rulership, ppl from my old neighborhood was totally aghast as tuh how much of ah racist pig they had for ah PM, and i mean chinese , african, frenchcreole, cocospanish, accross the board was in shock tuh the blatant disregard and the audacity of this guyanese fella! :devil: (dey said he's from GT, i don't know whats whats though) :devil:
i rather see ah whole new party that truly represents the faces of TNT, not no damn indian party or no african party, but ah party of all the ppls of TNT, with young vibrant minds and new ideas!
it's time for TNT to heal, and these old dinosaur parties must step aside and let the yutes prevail. the UNC iz just ULF in disguise, they realize that they needed tuh form an alliance tuh beat the peeondem so they first came together under the nar banner.
but the nar was just the DLP in disguise, so after robbie betrayed half his members, that's the reason mayers , humphry and gordon rode out. they formed the UNC BC bass wanted ah taste of power, so they went down that road again and nuff fellas rode out in like manner. to me them ppl don't care bout the country, they just want POWER!!
all ah dem wanted power, and they are all dinosaur parties! the ULF (panday) DAC (robbie) tapia house who joined the alliance as well (lloyd best) ONR (karl hudson P) all dinosaur parties in disguise!

Just a distraction, says Panday

Thursday, April 1st 2010
Some Opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) say they are willing to throw their hat back into the ring and defend their current seats should a general election be called.
Among them are Mayaro MP Winston ’Gypsy’ Peters, Fyzabad MP Chandresh Sharma, Couva South MP Kelvin Ramnath, Naparima MP Nizam Baksh and Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal.
Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, Caroni Central MP Dr Hamza Rafeeq and Caroni East MP Dr Tim Gopeesingh said it was premature to respond to such a query since the date of the general election had not been announced.
Prime Minister Patrick Manning put the country on an election alert last Saturday during a party convention at Chaguaramas and announced that screening of candidates will begin on April 7, with the San Fernando East constituency. Manning is the MP for San Fernando East.
Ramnath, who took the decision to move to the back bench in support of former political leader Basdeo Panday, has been the representative for Couva South for the past 24 years.
’Yes I will be seeking nomination from my constituency and I trust that the Executive of Couva South will nominate me. I think it is time Manning goes and I will be contributing towards that,’ Ramnath said.
Sources told the Express that Panday himself, who has represented the people of Couva North for the past 34 years, has no intention of stepping down.
Since Kamla Persad-Bissessar took over as political leader of the party, following the January 24 party election, Panday, Ramnath as well as Opposition MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj and Mickela Panday have taken the decision to not attend the party’s weekly meetings at Rienzi Complex, Couva.
’All MPs would want to continue to serve but it all depends on the party groups and the support they receive. Yes, I am ready and willing to continue representing the people,’ said Sharma.
’It all depends on the political leader, yes I am ready to serve,’ said Baksh.
’If I get the will of my people and the blessings of my party I will continue,’ said Moonilal.
Peters said, ’It is my sole intention to do that. I am working in my constituency all now. I have no doubt that my constituency would want me to represent them.’
The UNC has already screened some 200 persons for Local Government election. Persad-Bissessar said screening for the general election would also commence soon.
Persad-Bissessar left the country yesterday for Florida for a fund-raising dinner on Saturday and will return home after one week.
In a telephone interview, Panday said he believes Manning was bluffing with respect to a general election and is only trying to distract attention from the Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDeCOTT) fiasco.
He said as of now he is enjoying life and making most of his free time by studying literature and music, but still keeps a close eye on the UNC.
’I can tell you one thing, I will not stand by and see the UNC be destroyed. After all it is the party to which I gave birth and 20 years of my blood, sweat and tears,’ he said.
Panday opined that the poor turn- out at Saturday’s Voice of the People rally at Saith Park was a reflection of Persad-Bissessar ability to lead.
’People are looking for change and they are not getting it, they are looking for leadership and they are not getting it, I think that is why it was so badly attended. I think people are very disappointed they want to see change and instead they are seeing people being pulled out from the political cemetery. And I believe that is bothering them as well as the fact that their chairman (Jack Warner) continues to refuse to account for millions given to the party,’ he said.
i rather see ah whole new party that truly represents the faces of TNT, not no damn indian party or no african party, but ah party of all the ppls of TNT, with young vibrant minds and new ideas!
So let me get this straight. yuh don't want manning BC of what ever reason, then yuh say kamla on the same indian head as panday, now yuh tellin meh how we may never see ah party of many colours with young vibrant minds tuh run the place, so wait, it sounds like there's no sane choices, so why even bother tuh get involved wid the politics?
i rather see ah whole new party that truly represents the faces of TNT, not no damn indian party or no african party, but ah party of all the ppls of TNT, with young vibrant minds and new ideas!
and when will this happen ? kamla just released her names for candidates of constituencies and I see mostly indians. i expect to see mostly black people too when Manning release his names later this weeks...the type of party you talking bout may have to evolve by itself and wont be PNM or UNC. maybe it will happen but not this generation

Attorney Ricky Harnanan has been mandated to pinpoint the requirements that Basdeo Panday would need to form another political party, and maintain his position as Leader of the Opposition, according to a well-placed informant.
“Ricky has been asked to prepare a constitution (for Panday’s proposed party) for consideration, in consultation with Ramesh Maharaj, and the discussions with Ramesh have been spearheaded by Kelvin (Ramnath),” said the informant, who was close to Panday. “It includes Ramesh being made chief whip and deputy political leader and political leader-in-waiting (of Panday’s new party).” The informant said that Panday was holding on to his strength of Opposition UNC Members of Parliament (MPs)—his daughter Mikela, brother Subhas, Kelvin Ramnath, Ramesh Maharaj, Vasant Bharath, Dr Hamza Rafeeq and Dr Tim Gopeesingh—to prevent his rival, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, from removing and replacing him as Opposition Leader. Persad-Bissessar, who defeated Panday to become political leader of the Opposition United National Congress (UNC), indicated last week that she needed the written support of one more Opposition MP for President George Maxwell Richards to appoint her to the post of Opposition Leader.

Allyuh really feel the PNM will win. I living here and I don't get that feeling at all. Many PNM people will not vote and the opposition will likely have a united front. So there is no question of a split vote favouring the PNM.

while in POS blacks, spanish and TOWN indians( who i find to be very cool and don't deal with dat racist shyte) mostly attended the lower junior sec, and secondary schools like tranquility, belmont sec, south east, woodbrook and stjames sec.
the rural indians had their own schools, and never allowed their kids to mix with the rest of the population. when i was ah yute i used to hear them old fellas saying they just came off the reservation, ah term they used when ever they went to caroni, penal, or st.helena.
now i never shared them old fellas sentiments, Bc a lot of them were bigoted in their views, but i guess they never understood how other trinidadians could live so segregated from the rest of the population.
this morning i went on line tuh read the express, the first story was about ah car dealer who was kidnapped and rescued by the cops. the earlier comments in the comment column had nothing to do with the article , but rather politics, and RACIAL politics @ that!
"africans does make mischief where ever they go, africans bringing the country down, africans backwards, african dunce, only indians keeping this country afloat, indians is the back bone of the country" got my drift? suprisingly not one bad racist comment by an african, chinese, french creole, and the ones that was in rebuttal was just showing them just how ignorant they were. and the sad part about it was, they were all endorsing the UNC.
finally, probably the editor or the moderator under the editor's advice removed all the unsavory comments and started ah fresh comment column with more relevant comments.
this is what the UNC/ ULF created, and allyuh want these ppl ruling yuh country tuh divide it even more?? like allyuh forgot what happened the last time the UNC ruled and panday was the PM? the country was divided and it showed heavily in the poles, evidently.
so if anyone is offended by your comments, then they're in heavy denial, and should be offended by their own naivety instead! and in turn, i find their naivety to be offensive..
PS:here's the article with the nasty comments, it's starts off on the topic and changes to and all out racial political discourse, if yuh want tuh call it that! BTW this is the later edited version. sorry, but i could'nt pull up the first set of comments, they were really raw and offensive :nailbiting: http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/nart?id=161620879
same breath..only ignorant "negros" will support/vote for manning then? cause the man rape the the country, causing decay to he own party and have no clue how to improve the status of the country and people.

Confusion seems to be brewing in the United National Congress (UNC) camp. Sources are claiming that party chairman and Chaguanas West MP, Jack Warner, and deputy political leader, Lyndira Oudit, were excluded from a closed-door meeting at Rienzi Complex, Couva, on April 1. However, acting political leader Suruj Rambachan is insisting the allegations are untrue, and that it’s pure mischief. Rambachan insisted that as the party picked up momentum to topple the PNM at the impending polls, some people were out to create confusion. He said several meetings were taking place at the request of political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar, who is in Miami raising funds for the general election.
She is expected to return home tomorrow. Warner, Rambachan said, had attended the meeting. Asked if he was invited, Rambachan replied: “No…but all that is mischief. “There are several events taking place in preparation for the election, and you will find that will happen for an election time.” A UNC source said Warner and Oudit were not invited to a meeting chaired by Fyzabad MP Chandresh Sharma, but made an appearance. When Oudit tried to enquire why they were left out, she was dismissed by a member. Sources said Oudit, who has expressed an interest in contesting the Pointe-a-Pierre seat, is being opposed by certain members. Warner, who is due to return from Korea on Wednesday, could not be reached yesterday for comment.
Meanwhile, Persad-Bissessar has given instructions to get the party machinery primed and ready for the election. She has instructed General Secretary, Dr Glen Ramadharsingh, to invite all Constituency Executives to nominate candidates for the expected general elections. April 12 is the deadline for nominations to be completed, while screening starts on April 13. “It is expected that such nominations will in no way compromise the ongoing unity talks between opposition parties,” it added. Persad-Bissessar has asked the chairman to activate the UNC National Campaign Team and present a report within 72 hours for the consideration of the National Executive. When she returns tomorrow, she will be stepping up talks with all other political parties to ensure there are no three way fights against the PNM.

By Tony Fraser
The People’s National Movement (PNM) will not be beaten in a general election merely because there is widespread disenchantment with the party, especially its political leader, his style of governance and his management of the economy and polity. The electorate will only displace the incumbent if the opposition parties are able to fashion a credible alternative which can be seen to be sustainable in office. Sure Kamla Persad-Bissessar is riding the popularity charts, having, in the most authoritative manner possible, relegated Basdeo Panday to the political cemetery. However, Persad-Bissessar and the United National Congress (UNC) will have to triumph over the demographics by garnering electoral support from outside of the natural and ethnic enclave of the party through striking some form of electoral/political accommodation with other parties.
Similarly, while the defeat of Panday has opened up possibilities for the Congress of the People (COP) to engage in a meaningful electoral alliance with the UNC and other opposition forces, such opportunities will not automatically materialise because of the political demise of Panday and the vulnerability of the ruling party and its leader. Dookeran and his team have the potential, perhaps even more than Persad-Bissessar and the UNC, to attract non-traditional support and make linkages with other political constituencies to achieve an alliance of the political forces to remove the PNM from office. But potential has to be converted into reality and it is going to take quite an amount of insight, planning, political savvy and credibility on the part of the COP leadership to persuade large segments of the electorate to sink their political fate with the party and by extension buy into a UNC-led administration.
The presence of the COP in the north, that politically accommodating town of Woodbrook, a place of blacks, browns, off-whites, Syrians, middle class Indos and the ever-present dougla; the town of Invaders, Silver Stars, Phase II, Little Carib, the Oval and the neighbouring St James where Hosay and Cosby’s meet in regular procession, will be crucial to attracting support from St James through into Rowley’s Carenage, Glenco, Goodwood Park and Westmoorings. I remember an NAR meeting in 1986 on the grounds at Goodwood Park, with the people from up the hill, a different kind of hill to Laventille, chanting and shouting themselves sore in the throat for Margaret Hector, a woman of the Baptist faith, complete with headtie and always threatening to break out in a revelation of the Spirit, and this at the same time that the “Goodwoodites” were extending a welcome to the representatives of the central constituencies, it was perhaps the moment I became convinced that the NAR would defeat the PNM.
The COP’s role could become crucial as the third party as it seems almost impossible for the UNC to be able to win an election outright. Nonetheless, the first step along the way is for the two parties to strike an alliance. Already though it is clear that the UNC is stringing the COP out, raising anxieties at the leadership level, perhaps the intention being to have the COP desperate enough that it will settle under terms and conditions dictated by the UNC.
But that is exactly the point of difficulty to be faced by the leaderships of the two major opposition parties and the other minor parties by way of deciding which party will fight in which constituencies. It is quite unlikely that the UNC will cede any of the seats it now holds to COP candidates. Moreover, the UNC will demand that the COP takes on and beats the PNM in difficult constituencies such as the Diego Martins and Port-of-Spain and other points along the East/West Corridor as a means of earning its place in a coalition government.
But the real squabble will be over which party gets to put up candidates in those marginal constituencies such as Tunapuna, San Fernando West, Barataria-San Juan and a few others where either party can benefit significantly from support expressed in the last election for both. Ideologically, meaning economic, social and political poli-cies and outlooks on develop- ment, political organisation of the State and policies on governance will also be a challenge for the parties to work out common ground. In the interest of T&T, the electorate must, notwithstanding the desire to get rid of Manning and the PNM, be presented with a solid platform which would last longer than the Red House fire. One element of that settlement is who would lead the coalition government if the parties trounce the PNM at the polls. As to the UNC, Panday may have been sidelined, but the political culture created by him over three decades will not be easily expunged. The leadership will have to establish new principles upon which the party will stand; it will have to remove the excessive reliance on tribal support, glib statements and replace them with substance as a basis for governance.
Persad-Bissessar must not delude herself into believing that Panday will stop attempting to cause conflict within the ranks of the UNC to create an opportunity for him and his group to retake what he considers his party. The attack concentrated on Jack Warner is not incidental; it is directed at provoking and awakening ethnic vulnerabilities within the support base of the UNC. On Warner’s side is the fact that he won over 10,000 votes in the party’s internal elections on his own steam as a representative for his constituents and one seen to be able to work with the new leader, Kamla. But in addition to the Warner issue, the UNC leadership will have to work out with constit-uency executives a slate of candidates that gives new life to the party and this will have to be done while not seeking to be disloyal to the MPs who easily crossed-over after the internal polls. Dealing with any further electoral ambitions held by Panday/ Ramnath will be relatively easy, the electorate having rejected them collectively. However, the UNC leadership will have a challenge to decide whether to go into the elections with Bharath—who lost to Warner, Gopeesingh and Maharaj.
Time is not on the side of the opposition parties, but it is often the case that the greatest decisions are made under the most stressful conditions conceiv- able.
Trinidadians should take this time to really think, evaluate, put aside race and vote...

…businessman claims UNC chairman owes $40m
Published: 11 Apr 2010

As the general election swings into gear, political parties have begun to point barbs at one another. Coming ‘under the gun’ is United National Congress chairman, Jack Warner, who has been given 28 days to respond to several companies demanding monies ($13,531,095) allegedly made available in 2007. In fact, Warner claimed he had received legal correspondence stating that he owed $40 million. A brown unmarked envelope containing seven writs were delivered to the Sunday Guardian yesterday.
But according to Warner’s attorney Om Lalla they are expecting more writs claiming that his client owes additional money...
1. Point Lisas Construction Ltd – $1,738,786
2. Ace Contractors Ltd – $1,801,042
3. Cyclone Hydro Blasting Ltd – $1,945,133
4. Omni Auto Services Ltd – $2,025,982
5 Midway Contractors Ltd – $1,946,859
6. Elite Security Consultants – $2,028,601
7. Casa Contractors Ltd – $2,044,692

If the party groups put him forward as a candidate.....then he go be screened. But.....knowing the personality...i go be highly surprised if he confirmed as one. But oh well....lets wait and see.
He was the only nominee for that constituency. Can the Political Leader approve someone who wasn't nominated.

He will tell the executive to go back and get a new nominee....

4. The nominees selected by Party Groups, and Constituency Youth Leagues shall appear as summoned before the Political Leader who shall be assisted by a Screening Committee. The Political Leader and the Screening Committee shall interview the nominees in consultation with the Constituency Executive or Executives concerned, which shall meet separately, before the meeting with the Screening Committee, to assess the Party Groups and Constituency Youth League nominee and determine which (if any) of the nominees will, in
their opinion, be most acceptable
5. The Political Leader shall not be bound to accept the recommendation of the Constituency Executive. If, after consultation with the Screening Committee, the Political Leader considers the Executive’s recommendation unsatisfactory, he may require the Executive to make a new nomination. In the event that a new nominee is not forthcoming, the Political Leader is empowered to take such steps as he considers appropriate to obtain a nomination for recommendation to the Central Executive.

And on the topic of Unity, how are these people supposed to expect fence sitters like me to take them seriously. Devant fight the Couva North seat under COP in the last election. Bam, just so, just so...he resign from the COP must be just last week and sending in nomination papers to fight the seat for the UNC.Changing parties is very common in Politricks
Well ah waiting patiently to see how Kamla dealing with these opportunists. She done have mih watching she cross eye with Assam and the reappearance of Carlos John.

She hasn't publicly brought Carlos John into the fold in any substantive capacity like Mr. Assam. Is just that when she had she meeting in Diego, bam the man come out of he zandolee hole and was front and centre in the meeting....then bam he was in a next meeting (in San Juan ah think) greeting she as she walk een the meeting.
Then ah hear he is the organiser for UNC elections along the East-West corridor. Now to be honest, I did forget bout he. I didn't even realise (forget rather) he was one ah dem before the courts. So of course his reapperance just brought that back on the front burner....

Kamla v Hazel as Education Minister
Kamla v Ramesh as AG
Kamla v Manning for PM 2010
scores anyone ?
I agree with you on both. I would give Hazel 2 though, breakfasses and all. Kamla's major accomplishment as Minister of Education was that messy arrangement where they allowed essentially all common entrance students to enter secondary school. D cup overflow and not in a good way.Kamla v Hazel as Education Minister

UNC supporters reached out to touch the hands of the woman they are supporting to become the next Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago as she walked towards the stage to the beat of tassa. It was a launch of a difference as Senator Verna St Rose brought “down the power” as she danced her way on stage to the beat of the song by the same name, sung by Ella Andall. St Rose sprinkled water on the stage to signify a baptism of fire for the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM), which was launching its campaign simultaneously at St Augustine.
Our philosophy is that workers will get a fair day’s pay for a fair day’s work.’

AS AT last Saturday, there were 1,369,000 voters registered for the upcoming general election, the Elections and Boundaries Commission (EBC) Communications Manager Leslie Fitzpatrick disclosed yesterday as the EBC reported heightened levels of voter activity as it opened the electoral period.
According to Fitzpartick, there was a “heightened number” of people turning up at the 21 EBC offices across the country as the nine-day electoral period in which voters have a last chance to register or update their voter information.
“We’ve made some checks,” Fitzpatrick said yesterday. “We have called offices to find out how the process was going and they have reported a heightened number of people coming in.
“At Arima, Piarco and San Juan it was overwhelming. For Chaguanas it was tight. Similarly Tobago had a lot of activity and registration at the office in Scarborough. In San Fernando, there was even a full gallery.” “In the two offices in Port-of-Spain (Diego Martin and Laventille) there were also steady numbers right up to four o’clock,” Fitzpatrick said.
While the EBC’s 2009 Annual Report put the total electorate at 1,012,806, Fitzpatrick yesterday revealed that the number of persons registered to vote stood at 1,369,000 as at April 10. In 2008, the electoral list totalled 1,004,663, according to the EBC’s website (www.e bctt.com).
But Fitzpatrick noted that it was difficult to tell whether the numbers and heightened activity yesterday point to the possibility of a higher than average voter turn-out at the impending general election.

UNC does have racist supporters, so does the PNM. ANyway my original position on Fuad Khan stands he is very much the racist in my opinion!The UNC have more!! the PNM have all kinda supporters, not just afro trinis, even though afro (town POS) trinis in particular maybe more opt to support the PNM, but i have all kinda PNM supporters since the party was founded on the grass roots movement.
I know i may come over as ah bigotted kakah@le especially to the indian bredders and sisters on the board, but i assure you, i not on no race thing ppl, is just that when i lived in trini, i experienced real indian racism from rural indians that has left me very wary of rural indian ppl and their intentions.Stueeppssssss!! most ah dem UNC members racist no arse! next ting yuh will tell meh iz suruj rambachan is not ah racist either??!!Faud Khan they sending bacK..FAUD??

I know quite a lot of politicians from both sides and they all use the race issue to their own advantage when it suits them.
The thing is that as people they would be like anyone of us because they grew up in most cases in enlightened environments and went to schools that race was not a big issue .
But as I said when the election drum is sounded the rally cry for the illiterate masses is tribal.
ha ha ha are you for real arguing who have more racist supporters, cah be serious. How it goes again wrong and wrongerBreds, i eh go lie, i met real indain haters in meh life and they were not all black, i've met chinese white fench creole and spanish as well, and i never understood it, maybe BC my parents, particularly my mother taught me not to hate, so it was embedded in me from an infant.
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
well I am sorry to hear about your experience, but I am curious how do you define rural?It only have one way to define rural.
But as I said when the election drum is sounded the rally cry for the illiterate masses is tribal.Dais it RIGHT there
And where i living eh really rural.
Breds, you must think i'm an ignoramus of some sort, not knowing the difference between rural from urban, metropolis or suburban?And where i living eh really rural.
See this is what I was getting at, was wondering if I was living in rural and i did not know it, cause at one point everything east of the light house was considered rural.
Imagine there are some people who still believe everything oustside tong (town) is rural or everything central and south is rural :D..them need to leave POS and surrounding areas and travel the country..
Breds, you must think i'm an ignoramus of some sort, not knowing the difference between rural from urban, metropolis or suburban?Take a step back, you say rural and and cite kaydonna as an examples of such a places that exhibit racism, the kaydonna of my youth was not rural. So I iz a ignoramus and defensive to ask you to try and understand what you were saying
FYI, i'm fully aware of what rural iz, do you? i never claim to know where you live, so why even bother to mention it. did i step on your corn my friend, why get so defensive?
Bro , i not in no kinda argument wid you period! i mentioned kay donna as ah reference to the ppl who didn't know that part of town, so i used ah popular land mark. i also used kaydonna as ah reference BC they had ah big stinkin writing on wall that said" no niggers allowed" ah bet yuh don't remember that right?Imagine there are some people who still believe everything oustside tong (town) is rural or everything central and south is rural :D..them need to leave POS and surrounding areas and travel the country..
EntBreds, you must think i'm an ignoramus of some sort, not knowing the difference between rural from urban, metropolis or suburban?Take a step back, you say rural and and cite kaydonna as an examples of such a places that exhibit racism, the kaydonna of my youth was not rural.

My bad boss man,
but now that you mention it some roast corn will go down good. (yes I know you were not talking about the plant.)
Faud and he racial cleansing agreement with Gopeesingh...lol
yeah he real cool and is not racist..hahahahahaha

i was actually referring to st helena and las lomas as being rural, and in order to get to las lomas or st helena from the churchill roselvelt, the easiest way tuh do it was to cut through by kay donna.
kay donna is actually curepe st augustine way on the highway or valsayn proper if i'm not mistaken, there's no way valsyne is rural, but st helena and las lomas iz!
there's one trait i admire in ah human being, and that is honesty, the same way i could admitt that it have real nasty black ppl wid out feeling like i compromising my race, i feel you never made an effort tuh deal with the reality of growing up indian and the ills that indian ppl get in to.
i'm not indian but yet i pretty much know how racist and hateful a lot of indian ppl could be. i experienced it , and so have countless ppl including friend and family.
one thing you failed to realize. the basic premise of indian society is based on racism, and how ironic it is that the lighter skinned indians are untouchable, while the darker skinned are from the dalit( servant) cast.
remember, i will blow up my own father if he's an assh@le, i doh have no time tuh appease folks, i talk the truth and keep it real, and the way i see it, from capeldeo tuh bassdeo all propagate heavy racism in ah serious way, and encourage indian ppl tuh live like orthodox jews, separate from the rest of society.
they failed tuh stop this nonsense that is plaguing the country today. that's why fellas like mannin will rule for long periods of time, that's BC his only serious rival ain't very serious.
and i'll go as far as to say, i swear, if black ppl only felt that the UNC was ah ppl's party and not an indian labor party, the PNM would've been finished ah long time ago! and after the racist shyte that bass pulled when he was in power, i seriously doubt if black ppl, particularly in PNM strong holds would ever vote UNC, just like serious indian nationalist like yuself would ever ever vote for the PNM, mannin or no mannin.
UNC founder Basdeo Panday says he will independently contest the Chaguanas West seat held by UNC chairman Jack Warner. “Having inflicted Warner on the country, it is now my job to get rid of him...that will be my new role,” Panday said. He said he would file nomination papers to contest Chaguanas West when nomination day for the upcoming general election arrives. Panday made the statement when asked to comment on UNC leader Kamla Persad- Bissessar’s claim on Tuesday that she had a “role” for him. He said his independent election campaign in Chaguanas West would not focus on the UNC, but on Warner.
“I will totally support the UNC and the leader and everyone else, but I will be focusing on Warner...that is the only way I can support my party and rid T&T of persons like Warner,” Panday added. Noting that Warner had been given the “safe” Chaguanas West seat by the UNC under his leadership, Panday said: “I will not be party to inflicting Warner on this society. I have been guilty of inflicting him, therefore it is my duty to remove the affliction.”
Panday said that losing the seat—held by Warner since 2007—was not relevant. “I’m sure I will win, since Chaguanas West was part of my old Couva North constituency,” he said. “The people will decide whether they want to have someone like Warner. Therefore, I plan to put in my nomination for Chaguanas West on Nomination Day because I am sure everyone in the UNC will be scared if he is made Finance Minister.” Panday said he had been getting a lot of calls from Chaguanas West on the situation and he was confident he had the backing to contest.
I guess the point I'm making is that neither of the main political parties are prepared to move the election rhetoric, subliminal messages and encouragement race superiority.
Mr Panday did not initiate the phenomenon of divisive racial politics in this country. That dubious distinction is to be awarded to Dr Eric Williams who, after the defeat on the PNM in the federal elections of 1958, vilified the Indian population of this country as a ’recalcitrant minority’. But Mr Panday, once he had decided to use these racial divisions for his political gain, was never able to wean himself away from the easy mobilisation of support which such a strategy brought and, as the habit of pandering to racial insecurities became more and more entrenched, he found himself unable even to contemplate any other political modus operandi.
I used to be totally baffled by Panday's actions until I read this.....

dat article seem to be sayin Panday talents woulda be much better off as a backroom man...like a Karl Rove kinda role.
I disagree that he was never "able to wean himself away"....is pure unwillingness
The leader sets the tone for any party and he, most certainly had his supporters on marionette strings

Requiem for a heavyweight
Michael Harris
Monday, February 1st 2010
The results of the UNC internal election on January 24 were not simply a defeat for Mr. Panday but constituted a comprehensive repudiation by the party of the man and the politics he has come to represent. That is as it should be. Mr. Panday, at the end of his long career, had become not only an embarrassing liability for the party but a pillar of the old regime which the country must bring down if it is to have a chance at good governance and true democracy. But it was not always like this.
Ever since Mr Panday, almost 40 years ago, stole the sugar union from Rampartap Singh in a coup so well planned and brilliantly executed that Mr Singh did not even know that he had been deposed until Mr Panday told him; he (Mr Panday) has been, for better and for worse, a monumental and indispensable part of the politics of this country
In the period since then, and up to a few years ago, Mr Panday has never failed to lend his considerable talents and political resources to the struggle of the people to forge for themselves a new beginning after the bitter betrayal by the early nationalist movement of the promise of political independence. But Mr Panday’s role in this ’struggle’ has always been a very equivocal one, largely on account of the very nature of the political resources which he brought to the table.
Even before he had gained control of the sugar union Mr Panday had firmly aligned himself with the forces of change when he ran as a candidate for the avowedly socialist Workers and Farmers Party (WFP), which included such stalwarts as CLR James, Stephen Maharaj and Lennox Pierre.
And perhaps it was the crushing defeat of the WFP, utterly demolished, like so many other parties since then, in the monstrous jaws of racial politics represented at that time by the People’s National Movement (PNM) and the Democratic Labour Party (DLP), which convinced Mr Panday that race was the unalterable reality of politics in this country and led him to use his control of the sugar union to take over the DLP and to organise it as a formidable political constituency beholden to himself alone.
Mr Panday did not initiate the phenomenon of divisive racial politics in this country. That dubious distinction is to be awarded to Dr Eric Williams who, after the defeat on the PNM in the federal elections of 1958, vilified the Indian population of this country as a ’recalcitrant minority’. But Mr Panday, once he had decided to use these racial divisions for his political gain, was never able to wean himself away from the easy mobilisation of support which such a strategy brought and, as the habit of pandering to racial insecurities became more and more entrenched, he found himself unable even to contemplate any other political modus operandi.
This is the central explanation for Mr Panday’s ambivalent history. The same genuine instincts for change which led him into the WFP persisted for a long while and he never hesitated to bring his political forces into any arrangement which sought to further the struggle for change. First there was the United Labour Front, and then there was the Alliance, and then the NAR. In every one of these formulations Mr Panday was front and centre.
But while he was always prepared to lend his weight to such arrangements he always insisted on doing so in his role as leader of the Indian party. His reluctance and, eventually, his inability to relinquish that role meant that he was never able to deal with issues from a national perspective and could never support such efforts as were initiated to build a national party based on policy and programmatic principles. The historical record is very clear. All these political movements reached as far as they did because of Mr Panday. All these political movements died because of Mr. Panday.
A large part the reason Mr Panday was unable to ever transform himself from the role of leader of the Indian party into a national leader has to do with the real limits of Mr Panday’s own interest and vision. Mr Panday has always seen himself as a politician. Nothing more and nothing less. He revelled in and relished the political struggle. As long as he had a campaign to run, a protest to organise and an enemy to defeat, he was in his element. And in this element, at the height of his powers, he was unarguably the best this country has ever seen.
But for all his undoubted genius as a politician he was ultimately a very limited individual. His struggle had no aim other than the struggle itself. He was not interested in leadership, he was not interested in building an enduring party, he was not interested in government, he was not interested in good governance and he was not interested in any national vision. He could speak eloquently of all these things but they were really only tactics of the struggle.
Thus when Mr Panday first entered government as part of the NAR administration he was seldom to be seen. He went completely missing in action. And while the break-up of the NAR had more to do with Mr Robinson’s own inability to comprehend the nature of the party he was leading, the truth is that Mr Panday did nothing to save the NAR, was not interested in doing anything to save the NAR and could not wait for the first opportunity to engage in ’the struggle’ once again.
Not even the ascent of the UNC into the corridors of government for the first time on its own could change this reality. That he was able to lead the party, on its own, into government will forever be Mr Panday’s greatest achievement. As for achievements while in power there are none. Utterly bored and uninterested in government and administration, Mr Panday lost his way. It was all downhill from there.
Mr Panday’s reaction to the news of his defeat in the election was one of hurt and bitterness and defiance. True to his nature he considers that it is but another challenge to be overcome, another battle to be fought. This, of course, in the end, is the real tragedy. Mr Panday remains locked in the prison of his own limited vision of politics and cannot even recognise that the country and his party have passed him by. Sic transit gloria mundi.
Bro , i not in no kinda argument wid you period! i mentioned kay donna as ah reference to the ppl who didn't know that part of town, so i used ah popular land mark. i also used kaydonna as ah reference BC they had ah big stinkin writing on wall that said" no niggers allowed" ah bet yuh don't remember that right?Imagine there are some people who still believe everything oustside tong (town) is rural or everything central and south is rural :D..them need to leave POS and surrounding areas and travel the country..
EntBreds, you must think i'm an ignoramus of some sort, not knowing the difference between rural from urban, metropolis or suburban?Take a step back, you say rural and and cite kaydonna as an examples of such a places that exhibit racism, the kaydonna of my youth was not rural. So I iz a ignoramus and defensive to ask you to try and understand what you were saying
FYI, i'm fully aware of what rural iz, do you? i never claim to know where you live, so why even bother to mention it. did i step on your corn my friend, why get so defensive?
My bad boss man,
but now that you mention it some roast corn will go down good. (yes I know you were not talking about the plant.)
i was actually referring to st helena and las lomas as being rural, and in order to get to las lomas or st helena from the churchill roselvelt, the easiest way tuh do it was to cut through by kay donna.
kay donna is actually curepe st augustine way on the highway or valsayn proper if i'm not mistaken, there's no way valsyne is rural, but st helena and las lomas iz!
there's one trait i admire in ah human being, and that is honesty, the same way i could admitt that it have real nasty black ppl wid out feeling like i compromising my race, i feel you never made an effort tuh deal with the reality of growing up indian and the ills that indian ppl get in to.
i'm not indian but yet i pretty much know how racist and hateful a lot of indian ppl could be. i experienced it , and so have countless ppl including friend and family.
one thing you failed to realize. the basic premise of indian society is based on racism, and how ironic it is that the lighter skinned indians are untouchable, while the darker skinned are from the dalit( servant) cast.
remember, i will blow up my own father if he's an assh@le, i doh have no time tuh appease folks, i talk the truth and keep it real, and the way i see it, from capeldeo tuh bassdeo all propagate heavy racism in ah serious way, and encourage indian ppl tuh live like orthodox jews, separate from the rest of society.
they failed tuh stop this nonsense that is plaguing the country today. that's why fellas like mannin will rule for long periods of time, that's BC his only serious rival ain't very serious.
and i'll go as far as to say, i swear, if black ppl only felt that the UNC was ah ppl's party and not an indian labor party, the PNM would've been finished ah long time ago! and after the racist shyte that bass pulled when he was in power, i seriously doubt if black ppl, particularly in PNM strong holds would ever vote UNC, just like serious indian nationalist like yuself would ever ever vote for the PNM, mannin or no mannin.
the only solution is tuh rid the country of them criminals, the BIG BOYS and their minions alike, especially the big boys!!! BC they using the underprivileged to do their dirty work! and lets start ah fresh with the babies! clean slate.
trinidad would never heal until ppl start back caring for each other, that's how the bad mind started in the first place, and i'm ah livin example of how things went bad. the govt never cared for the ghetto! they only catered for the haves and the middle class.
them yutes who allyuh see running the place ragged is my bandit frens young sons. the PNM, NAR, UNC created this monster, just like they almost turn me in ah monster. so fork the PNM! that is ole ppl shyte!
PS: fork the UNC too.
Breds, you must think i'm an ignoramus of some sort, not knowing the difference between rural from urban, metropolis or suburban?And where i living eh really rural.
See this is what I was getting at, was wondering if I was living in rural and i did not know it, cause at one point everything east of the light house was considered rural.
FYI, i'm fully aware of what rural iz, do you? i never claim to know where you live, so why even bother to mention it. did i step on your corn my friend, why get so defensive?

He jus yanking yuh chain.
Trinidadian, bredder, i don't want no enemy ting wid you my brother, BC as it is, i have enough of that already, even some on this site.
ppl seem to miss read me all the time, maybe it's BC i'm ah bitter writer, and yes i do admitt, my screen name should've been bitter, hey bitter yuh want tuh swap names? :devil:
i happen to know why i'm like one of the most unsavory characters where ever i go. it's BC i don't know how tuh front! i'm very impulsive when i see or hear nonsense, and it's almost impossible for me to curb my enthusiasm in that regard.
sad to say, but i'm just an ole tell it like it is kinda fella, and i want tuh believe it's ah family trait. my granny was an old carib spanish mixed woman who couldn't hold her tongue, and she would tell it like it is even if it mean't getting her arse kicked.
my great aunt was the same way, and so is my mother her brothers and all my cousins, maybe that's why half of them (cousins) is dead, BC they didn't know how tuh compromise.
so pleaseee don't hold it against me when i say things that may come over as offensive, i'm just calling it the way i see it. as for me being ah PNM, bredder, i hated the PNM maybe more than you! as ah matter of fact, i was ah junior member of NJAC, that's where i learned to be so radical, i also learned to embrace my Afrocentrism through the examples of other NJAC members.
lets put it this way, if i was still living in TNT, i would've been one of two things, ah criminal or a serious racist! that's BC when i came of age, i saw that ppl in TNT was seriously on ah selfish type head.
i grew up in the hood, and had the mind of ah real killer, the only thing was, ah was never raised tuh disregard life, my great aunt, my mother and the NJAC brothers taught me to respect life, but i was ah yuteman livin on my own, and my old lady was in foreign and my great aunt passed, so i had no support base, and i real catch hell to survive.
many days i went without food, and had tuh run wid gangstars just to have the basic necessities like food and shelter. lucky for me gangstars back then were on bobol and not serious criminal offenses.
when i looked around me, the white fella had every thing, and he wasn't sharing either. it was @ a time when jobs was scarce and to get ah get ah work tuh mix concrete was ah big deal, well doh talk about if yuh get ah permanent job in any govt service like the fire department, army/ coast guard, or even WASA tuh dig dutt was like winnin the lotto.
my breddren had ah job washing cars for guardian life, and i envied him so much, could you imagine, washing cars???!!! that's how difficult it was tuh land ah gig in the eighties.
back then, the old ways was changing, and ppl became more and more selfish and americanized, rarely did ppl look out for each other like the older heads did, and more and more bandits was coming out the wood works.
i've seen good yutes tun out in ah bandit, that's BC the yute in the hood saw where the system didn't cater for them, and there was nothing left for them to do but leave the island in search of ah livin, or pick up the gun.
back then, i and all the bandits was fren, BC we partially grew up together. i had lost my job BC of racist indians in BWEE out of malice, so i became very bitter towards country indians. i also hated whites , that's BC they had every thing and enjoyed trinidad like it was there own personal paradise.
back then the whites syrians and indians had every thing, and bad mind started setting in amongst the ghetto yute. we didn't give ah fork about PNM or ONR, or tapia house, in we mind politics was ah total waste! that was ole ppl ting, we wanted piece of the pie and fellas started getting vicious.
many ah times i broke into businesses wid my boys and didn't bat an eye or gave ah fork!! is either i ded or i live, that's what it came down too!
now mind you, i was ah very good yute with great family values, but my family abandoned me, except for my mother (in foreign) who would send me ah little from what ever little she earned, and she was earning very little. so i was becoming ah monster!
back then bandits was only robbing businesses, so the public was pretty safe from the guns of the bandits, and i was right in the middle!
back then bandits was distinguishable by the clothes they wore, kangol furs, travel fox, le tigre shirts and pretty colour levi's which was dared only to be worn by banditman! if yuh wasn't in the life, don't wear dem clothes BC sealy and the silver grey would pull yuh in and put yuh in ID parade.
the ppl's mall was the choice hang out spot for bandits, and it was ah cool scene. i had became ah member of the dishonorable fraternity of criminals, and even though i wasn't ah bandit i still enjoyed their company and did other dishonorable things to survive.
fortunately for me, one yr later i got in the temporary leave relief programm and landed ah gig @ caura thoracic hospital, then i came to POS general, and worked in other ministries. finally when i got laid off after robinson fired ah bunch on civil servants as soon as he braced the job, i flew out and came to foreign.
now tell me, do you think i give ah fork about what ppl think after going through all dat hell?!! i've been shot @, chopped up, stabbed, jumped, beat up, homeless, stole, run racket wid big name gangstars, and locked up, just to keep ah roof and ah meal in meh belly. so GOD bless america! BC tuh tell yuh the truth, america gave me back my dignity, and made me to hold my head without feeling worthless.
i really doh give ah fork about the PNM, or any party for that matter! BC i real suffer under PNM! and NAR sparingly. breds, take it from me, no party could stop this onslaught in TNT! the damage already done.
the only solution is tuh rid the country of them criminals, the BIG BOYS and their minions alike, especially the big boys!!! BC they using the underprivileged to do their dirty work! and lets start ah fresh with the babies! clean slate.
trinidad would never heal until ppl start back caring for each other, that's how the bad mind started in the first place, and i'm ah livin example of how things went bad. the govt never cared for the ghetto! they only catered for the haves and the middle class.

i agree with you but I cah think of politican really in it for the country.
Although the unity agreement has not yet been signed by the three leaders, the Opposition parties have worked out their seat arrangements for the May 24 general election. As it stands now, United National Congress (UNC) will contest 22 seats, Congress of the People (COP), 17, and Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP), the island’s two seats. According to sources, the three main parties will battle with the ruling People’s National Movement (PNM) in a one-to-one fight in the 41 constituencies throughout Trinidad and Tobago. The UNC and COP have been meeting for the last week to hammer out the agreement for the snap election. They finally reached an agreement on Thursday night, and although UNC’s Kamla Persad-Bissessar and COP’s Winston Dookeran met on Friday for three hours, the agreement was not signed. Up to last night they were ironing out the deal.
The UNC and COP agreed to fight the PNM on a joint platform. The joint platform will be launched on Wednesday night at a venue along the East-West Corridor. Sources said they would like to launch in Port-of-Spain. Sources revealed there will be one manifesto, one strategy and joint financing of the campaign. It was also agreed that Persad-Bissessar would become the prime minister if the accommodation is successful. The UNC has held on to 14 of its 15 seats which it now has—Caroni Central, Caroni East, Chaguanas West, Couva North, Couva South, Cumuto/Manzanilla, Fyzabad, Mayaro, Naparima, Oropouche East, Oropouche West, Princes Town North, Siparia, and Tabaquite. The UNC has surrendered the St Augustine seat to the COP, ruling out Vasant Bharath from returning to the constituency, and actually paving the way for attorney Prakash Ramadar to contest the seat.
Sources said Dookeran would not contest the elections, and there were all indications that should the Opposition form the next government, Dookeran would become the next President in 2012. The UNC wants to contest the elections in the following constituencies: Arouca/Maloney, Barataria/San Juan, Chaguanas East, Pointe-a-Pierre, Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West, Princes Town South/Tableland, St Joseph, and Toco/Sangre Grande. The UNC has screened a number of potential candidates, six of whom have already been chosen: Kamla Persad-Bissessar (Siparia), Jack Warner (Chaguanas West), Winston “Gypsy” Peters (Mayaro), Clifton de Couteau (Princes Town South/Tableland), Dr Fuad Khan (Barataria/San Juan), and Roodal Moonilal (Oropouche East).
The COP will contest 17 seats: Arima, D’Abadie/O’Meara, Diego Martin West, Diego Martin Central, Diego Martin North/East, La Brea, La Horquetta/Talparo, Laventille East/Morvant, Laventille West, Lopinot/Bon Air West, Point Fortin, Port-of-Spain South, San Fernando East, San Fernando West, St Ann’s East, St Augustine, and Tunapuna. Sources revealed that the COP planned to put a leading member of the legal profession in Tunapuna, to take on Education Minister Esther Le Gendre. COP also intended to put up as candidates two of the country’s leading trade unionists, Ancel Roget and David Abdulah. The agreement also leaves TOP to fight the PNM for the Tobago East and West seats. The agreement also states that Tobago will get full autonomy, once the Opposition forms the next government.

You're right. But that style of humour doesn't go down well in Trini. American comedians do that all the time. No holds barred, say anything no matter how despicable, once it funny and could bring across your view.Thing is he should not be asking he God to kill Manning with Cancer and he family too.

Rachel Price is probably the most irreverant comedian here and I've never heard make a joke about people dying of cancer. Not even about the hated Manning.
I feel you're right. Is a smaller segment he looking at.You're right. But that style of humour doesn't go down well in Trini. American comedians do that all the time. No holds barred, say anything no matter how despicable, once it funny and could bring across your view.Thing is he should not be asking he God to kill Manning with Cancer and he family too. That is not zeal, that is pure stupidity.Breds, like yuh doh understand subtleties or what? i believe it was political theatrics tuh create ah message of dissatisfaction with the present admin.
for all yuh know, dude may even be an atheist like you, i certainly wouldn't put it passed him.what he said could possibly be seen in the same light as sinead o connor when she mocked and poke fun @ the church and religion by pretending to be religious/ dressing like ah nun and praying.

Manning: UNC/COP coalition a farce
Ria Taitt Political Editor
Sunday, April 18th 2010
The UNC/COP coalition agreement is a farce.
Unable to achieve their demands, the COP delegation, headed by Ganga Singh, stormed out of the unification talks and discussions were only rescued when its ’weak’ political leader, Winston Dookeran ’caved into’ all the UNC demands, Prime Minister Patrick Manning declared last night.
He was speaking at a public meeting at Chin Chin Junction in Cunupia.
Manning, who did not disclose the source of his information, said when the two sides sat down to negotiate, the COP asked for six of the seats that the UNC currently has as well as a significant number of marginal seats.
’There was to-ing and fro-ing and they couldn’t agree. And the discussions became so acriminous that the COP team walked out. The UNC team then appealed to the Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. And you know what she did? She appealed to a friend, Winston Dookeran. And Winston Dookeran caved into every demand that Mrs Persad-Bissessar made, consistent with his weak nature.
’But in so doing he has angered the COP and the position as it now stands is kankatang in the COP and problems in the UNC,’ Manning stated. Read More http://www.trinidadexpress.com/index.pl/nart?id=161633783

GALLERYING! When the politicians finish gallerying I want them to answer the following questions:
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DECREASING CRIME?
To decrease it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REFORMING THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?
To reform it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DECREASING THE MURDERS RATE?
First to determine what it is via a Commission of Inquiry ... then, of course, to decrease it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REFORMING THE CONSTITUTION?
It depends on the Constitution ... but to reform it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR INCREASING JOBS?
To increase them.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR INCREASING THE NATIONS' WATER SUPPLY?
To increase it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REPAIRING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR NATION?
To repair it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DEALING WITH HOUSING SHORTAGE?
To address it in the short term.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DEVELOPING BLIGHTED AREAS?
That's a potentially contradictory proposition. However, the plan is to develop them to the extent they are not developed, rather than blight them.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR PRISON REFORM?
To imprison reformers.
When politicans answers these questions I will know that Trinbago is on its way to 20/20 status.
So you see, our vision is 20/20.

Harris said political parties were playing on the racial fears of the people. ’We are not secure, we feel that there is no recognition by the other side,’ he said.
Harris said people no longer support a political party because of its track record but because of their allegiance to a certain race.

I wouldnt doubt there are occasions that there are relevant, pertinent issues addressed by him on his program. My biggest problem is his conduct and the general wajang-comessive nature of the program that more times than not trivializes what is being discussed and as such the issue being discussed is not taken seriously.
Well then Weary, we may be looking at the new Minister of Sports if PNM wins..(him already a sports man)..
Including Diego Martin West ?

FIRST it was estimated to cost $40 million. Later, that rose to $148 million. Last September, the figure was revised to $175.3 million. But Udecott documents obtained by Newsday reveal that the cost of the Prime Minister’s Residence and Diplomatic Centre as at December last year was an estimated $244 million. According to a dossier on the project which was submitted by Udecott lawyers to the Uff Commission of Inquiry, the cost estimate for the project, as at December 31, 2008, was $243,961,819.
[ Other observers pointed out that the Pandays were Hindus, hence they were surprised at the large quantities of pork and beef purchased.
Over 116 kgs of pork chops, pork belly, and pork cubes were purchased while over 50 kgs of beef were ordered. Two orders of food from Singho Restauraut amounting to $2,134.40 and $2386 were made.

‘Election has come like a thief in the night’
Alicia Llanos
Published: 21 Apr 2010
Alicia Llanos
Chairman of the Elections and Boundaries Commission Norbert Masson says the 2010 general election has come like a thief in the night. Masson was speaking yesterday at the distribution of writs of election to returning EBC officers at Kampo Restaurant, Chaguanas. He said: “Some of you may remember the foreboding words of the first Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago many years ago when in referring to a pending parliamentary election said ‘it will come like a thief in the night.’ “No truer words could be said of the general election 2010, and the jolting reminder that we in the Elections and Boundaries Commission must always be in a state preparedness, ‘to be ready like Freddie’ as the saying goes.”

PM trains guns on unity leaders
Anna Ramdass
Thursday, April 22nd 2010
Prime Minister Patrick Manning last night opened files on members of the Opposition united team and warned the population that United National Congress leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar will reign if she becomes Prime Minister, but the men around her will be the ones running the country.
’I have come to the conclusion that the lady (Persad-Bissessar) lacks the political acumen to govern Trinidad and Tobago’ said Manning as he continued to attack NJAC leader Makandal Daaga, UNC deputy political leader Suruj Rambachan, UNC chairman Jack Warner, chairman of the Movement for Social Justice, Errol McLeod, as well as the labour leaders.
Manning’s first target was Daaga. He said the distinguishing aspect of NJAC was that it espoused the characteristic of the Black Power movement in the United States, which included violence to bring about social change.
He reminded the audience at the PNM’s meeting in Tabaquite that NJAC members had marched down Independence Square in Port of Spain and desecrated the Cathedral and this act gave rise to a changed atmosphere in this country.
Manning then trained his guns on McLeod, charging that he played an essential part in the ’deception and treachery’ in the days of the United Labour Front when there was conflict between Basdeo Panday and Raffique Shah.
Manning said this deception and instability discouraged foreign investors from this country.
Rambachan was Manning’s third target. He said a dark cloud still hangs over Rambachan’s head following allegations made in the Scott Drug Report.

Mr. Ramlogan explained the legal ramifications behind the deportation - he says he was informed that Mr. Campbell was being detained pursuant to Section, subsection 1 (q) of the Immigration Act which allows the Minister the right to deny entry to any persons who he deems to be "an undesirable inhabitant or visitor."
The US Embassy also confirmed that Bernie Campbell was deported this morning.
An embassy official said an explanation is being sought from the Minister of National Security for the deportation

PM trains guns on unity leaders
Anna Ramdass
Thursday, April 22nd 2010
Prime Minister Patrick Manning last night opened files on members of the Opposition united team and warned the population that United National Congress leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar will reign if she becomes Prime Minister, but the men around her will be the ones running the country.
’I have come to the conclusion that the lady (Persad-Bissessar) lacks the political acumen to govern Trinidad and Tobago’ said Manning as he continued to attack NJAC leader Makandal Daaga, UNC deputy political leader Suruj Rambachan, UNC chairman Jack Warner, chairman of the Movement for Social Justice, Errol McLeod, as well as the labour leaders.
Manning’s first target was Daaga. He said the distinguishing aspect of NJAC was that it espoused the characteristic of the Black Power movement in the United States, which included violence to bring about social change.
He reminded the audience at the PNM’s meeting in Tabaquite that NJAC members had marched down Independence Square in Port of Spain and desecrated the Cathedral and this act gave rise to a changed atmosphere in this country.
Manning then trained his guns on McLeod, charging that he played an essential part in the ’deception and treachery’ in the days of the United Labour Front when there was conflict between Basdeo Panday and Raffique Shah.
Manning said this deception and instability discouraged foreign investors from this country.
Rambachan was Manning’s third target. He said a dark cloud still hangs over Rambachan’s head following allegations made in the Scott Drug Report.

Horticultural society knocks balisier destruction
Saturday, April 24 2010
As the election campaigning heightens, the red of the Balisier flower can be seen at every PNM campaign stop.
The cutting and destruction of the Balisier plant in the forested areas of the Trinidad and Tobago is proving to be of grave concern to horticultural enthusiasts throughout the country.
Speaking with Newsday, President of the Horticultural Society, Sundar Seecharan said “The destruction of large amounts of the Balisier flower at the campaigns is heart-breaking. Not only is the natural environment being affected, but the beautiful flowers, which are used by horticulturalist is becoming limited. This is causing some competition in getting these flowers for making arrangements, and other things.”
“PNM supporters should find an alternative method of showing their support. They could construct artificial flowers, or use flags to show their support,” continued Seecharan.
Seecharan added, not only was the destruction of the flower posing a problem, but the deforestation which includes the removal of large amounts of these flowers and its plants could be very destructive when the rainy season starts in June.

Democracy at work....first Gary Hunt and now him..This is strategy that you can't buy..Gotta give it to Manning...the man really has matured as a politician, he understand the game..!!

we discuss that back on page 15. It does be real pressure to keep up when a thread runs for soo many pages yes....... :-\
Steupssss.. She moving in right there and if she doesn't move in there that would just be wrong..It is the official residence of the Prime Minister.
I never see how the old one was so I can't say whether it was nice or not..But can they actually put a value on it and sell it? What are the legal ramifications of doing something like that...For someone like me who's only 20 years of age all I know is that when push come to shove, she going and move right in there...For some reason selling the Prime Minister's house feels wrong and is she going to build a new one or move back into an old one? This just sounding more confusing that it should be..!!
She ending up right in there if she wins, it's the Official residence of the prime minister..I don't think she would want to open up a whole new can of worms by relocating..I think the ppl and the country have moved away from this issue. I don't think ppl are actually angry about the house, I think it's more about the costs and the speed at which it was erected..

He will be the UNC rep for the Sando West constituency which is a marginal seat. Last election a combination of UNC/COP votes was more than PNM votes in Sando West..It would be a close race there..but San fernando has always been PNM but that can change this election, but maybe PNM will run a strong campaign there and hold on to that seat..we shall see..

Who else get this email? I will post the Y we should not vote Manning once I get itI said already I rate Hazel Manning above Kamla as Minister of Education, breakfasses and all.
Lest we forget:
Kamla was the Minister of Education when:
1. Corporal punishment was no longer allowed in schools - no more licks!
2. ALL youth camps were closed down!
3. John Donaldson Technical Institute, Government Vocational Centre in Pt. Fortin, and San Fernando Technical Institute were all starved of both material and human resources! It was really the intention of the Minister to shut them down!
4. T & T Institute of Technology, off Rivulet Road , Couva - the first campus of the University of Trinidad and Tobago , was built IN SECRECY, STAFFED IN SECRECY, and ONLY STUDENTS OF EAST INDIAN ORIGIN WERE ENROLLED!
4. The Society for the Protection of Indian Culture (SPIC), formed by Suruj Rambachan. Thanks to him ONLY citizens of T & T must have visas to enter Canada . This as East Indians in T & T were seeking refugee status in Canada . Not a single person from any of the other Caribbean islands was required to have a visa to enter Canada ! Nice huh?
5. Now Suruj Rambachan is on the election platform, seeking to represent whom?????
6. Kamla also STOPPED the OJT programme which wacs started under the PNM administration - she is notorious for not only 'pipe', but for shutting down or closing schools/programmes!
7. How could we forget the 'Chicken Licken Schools' to which our children were sent post common entrance?
8. AND DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE SCHOOL ABOVE THE RUM SHOP ON THE SOUTHERN MAIN ROAD, CUREPE!
9. She says she 'will not stop HYPE, YTEPP etc.', But be afraid. Be very afraid as a leopard cannot change its spots. Nor can an Egyptian change the colour of his skin!
10. Remember also her love of booze, strong drink, alcohol. call it what you will. That's why the lady is a tramp to coin a phrase. When Mr. HCU was arrested Madame Pipe went to the Arouca Police station to intercede on his behalf.To say she was pisteratically drunk is an understatement! She was told in no uncertain terms, by the police officers on duty to remove herself from those premises!
So 'my brothers and sisters' as they like to say, up to and until election day please keep these 10 reasons in the front of your mind. Remember also that ' Trinidad is our country and we nah leaving!'

What is the plural of Breakfast?Breakfasses, duh
What is the plural of Breakfast?
What is the plural of Breakfast?
Breakfii
uuuummmm well just before I read Weary's post I got this email....
Sunday, March 28, 2010
Dear Mr. Manning,
A couple of years ago, before the last general election, I wrote a letter in the newspaper explaining the reasons why I could not vote for you and your party. It seems as though I have been spot on as regards to the results of your mis-governance.
I have decided that I will now list some issues of national importance and the reasons why you have lost the moral authority to lead the country and therefore must resign.
Your administration has been in office for almost 10 years and during that time, this country has experienced a windfall of revenue such as we have never seen before. What have we to show for it?
Eight buildings built by UDECOTT? TT$300B have gone through this economy in the last 9 years and can we really say that our quality of life is better? When all and sundry was warning you and your government about the reckless spending as well as the inevitable decline a la 1983, what did you and your government say? "We are insulated."
You were part of the government that squandered our last oil boom in the 70s. This might be forgivable. But to do this again is unforgivable. You were warned about a fool and his money but you were too busy building your ego and your Empire at the expense of the people.
Now that 'de money gone' you want to impose new land and building taxes on a population that is not only overtaxed but under represented and taken for granted by its leaders.
This new tax will not only make the poor poorer, but it will wipe out the middle class who have sacrificed over the years to make a better life for themselves during their sunset years.
Simply put, you and your government have squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity to build up the country's finances and thus make the economy less dependent on oil and gas which is a depleting natural resource.
For this alone, you should resign, more-so since you did not learn from past mistakes. With respect to crime, where do we start? Basically, we should look at the genesis of crime. Your government has created a gimme gimme dependency syndrome among your PNM supporters that quite simply, it is either you give them a 10 days or they become bandits and murderers.
To make matters worse, the example that your government has shown towards fighting corruption has basically given people a license to be criminals.
You have failed your PNM supporters making them the most vulnerable group in the society, despite their loyalty to you and the PNM. You have also failed to appoint a Police Commissioner, met with so called 'community leaders', called Martin Joseph your best minister, allowed a government minister to get away with taking out her money from a failing financial institution, bought useless blimps that don't work, said that "crime was a temporary problem" and referred to murders as "collateral damage."
Ten years and some 3500 lost lives later, can we say that we are fixing the problem? What about the mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters who have lost loved ones? Can we bring back their loved ones?
As head of the National Security Council and Prime Minister, you would have been history in another country.
Your consistent defense of Calder Hart is to say the least abominable. It also shows your lack of appreciation and understanding of your role as PM.
What has UDeCOTT done for our development? Built the Hyatt, an Emperor's Mansion, a tall empty building on Wrightson Road which was to be the headquarters of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) now defunct, an arts centre seating 1200 people at a cost of $500m which works out to a cost of $417,000.00 per seat. The only way this could be viable is if people are prepared to pay $5,000.00 to attend concerts. Who is paying that?
Add to this, UDECOTT is still building a cricket stadium for World Cup 2007 (who knows when this will be finished and what the final price will be?) Have these buildings brought any tangible benefits to the people of T&T? You treat the country's finances as though they are your own, accountable to no one and for nothing while billions of dollars are misspent, wasted and disappear. How could you not possibly understand that speaking to Calder Hart (after the AG told you that "he has a case to answer") is wrong? More-so, how can that conversation be private?
You continue to try distracting the population by looking for wars from invisible enemies and claiming religious persecution. Your use of religion as a defense mechanism is despicable and if anything yourutterances and behavior with respect to this UDeCOTT affair is clearly outrageous.
You should know that God does not sleep. You also keep bringing your religion into politics. This is a supposedly secular state with all different religions and your promotion of your "born again Christian values" is divisive and wrong.
You are the Prime Minister of T&T, not the Bishop, Pundit or Imam.
Church and State must be separate or we could end up in violent situations like those Middle Eastern countries where the religious leaders are the political leaders.
In developed countries as you would like us to be in 2020, you would have been forced out of office. Maybe, if and whenever we get to 2020, you would do the honorable thing?
As regards our present water crisis, who do you think we should blame? When you were Opposition Leader, you said the UNC's decision to build a desalination plant was wrong since any country blessed with 8 months of rainfall should never be short of water.
Presently, your administration wants to build 8 desalination plants. The irony of all of this is that when the rainy season starts, bet the last dollar in the treasury that there will be water everywhere resulting in massive floods. Why can't we build more reservoirs and catchment areas? How costly can this be? I doubt that it can even cost the price of one desalination plant. This problem has been with us since I remember myself and with your government being in office for 10 years, can we honestly say that your government has made a real attempt to solve our flooding and water problems?
If you answer this honestly, I am sure your conscience will allow you to 'do the honorable thing'.
The issue of traffic is one that affects the entire population and one that has been with us for far too long. Everday, everywhere you go in T&T, there is traffic. Again, your government looks for expensive solutions while ignoring simple cost effective solutions. Why do we need a train?
We cannot even run a bus service, how in heaven's name are we going to run a rapid rail service? Why don't we allow a partial privatization of PTSC making the buses owner-operated like the US? This will bring efficiency. Also, why are we still licensing small vehicles as taxis?
The water taxis have been a failure since they have not solved anything and look at what they cost. Again, big expensive ideas that aren't working. Our revenue down the drain and nothing to show for it but a few pretty boats that do nothing to solve our problems.
Health and Education are other areas where you and your government have failed miserably. I don't need to go into details but we all know what happens in the hospitals. Even poor people would take their hard earned savings and go abroad or to a local private institution to avoid the local health service.
With respect to education, the government schools are failures. Everyone wants their child to go to a denominational school and yet your government sees it fit to undermine these institutions that are our only saving grace.
The PNM has been in power for 43 of the last 54 years and the only reform we have had in education is changing the name of 11+ to Common Entrance to SEA and GCE to CXC.
You have built some shift schools but what quality of education are we getting from them? There are other areas that I can delve into but I really cannot continue forever.
So in conclusion Mr. Manning, when all is analyzed, you have failed our country and as you may well be aware, incumbency is threatened as you have seen with your good friend Mr. Panday.
All I ask is that you save yourself and the nation from further trauma and just let someone else take the mantle. We need a new leader in T&T. The ball is in your court.
Regards,
Linus Brown | Diego Martin, via email

Taylor out election race
Two days after he was jeered and booed by his own constituents, Princes Town South/Tableland MP Peter Taylor is out the election race. Prime Minister Patrick Manning confirmed this yesterday, shortly after delivering an address during the Youth For Christ Trinidad and Tobago Liberation Day celebration at Skinner Park, San Fernando. Speaking to reporters after, Manning said the hunt was on for a suitable candidate to contest the seat. “We have to accept the decision and we are trying to put alternatives in place,” Manning said.
“He just thought the time had come. He had personal issues he was looking at,” he continued, adding that the party would have no problems finding someone to replace Taylor. Manning said, however, he did not think that Taylor’s decision to leave came as a result of the poor treatment he received from the Fifth Company Moruga residents on Wednesday. Sources said last night that Taylor had been asked to step down. The news candidate to be screened tomorrow for the seat, a man sources said, is from Arima. The residents, some of whom crossed their hands and clenched their fists in front of their faces, accused Taylor of poor representation.
Among the issues which they said received no attention from the incumbent were a lack of water, poor roads and drains. Claiming that he had failed them, the residents threatened to throw their support behind his rival, the UNC’s Clifton de Coteau. Calls to Taylor’s cellphone went unanswered. Manning in his short address, urged the youths to stay spiritually active and prepare themselves to be the leaders of tomorrow. “To follow Almighty God is the only road to take. I will tell you from my own experiences that you are going to be vilified for it; you are going to be denigrated for it; be ridiculed for it. “Stay strong, confident in the knowledge that you, indeed, are on the right track....”

PM: No debate
Nikita Braxton South Bureau
Wednesday, April 28th 2010
Prime Minister Patrick Manning last night declined any invitation to participate in a public political debate with the United National Congress’ political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
Manning said he had nothing to gain by a debate. The debate proposal was first raised by UNC Chairman Jack Warner when the party launched its political campaign two weeks ago.
Persad-Bissessar has agreed to the debate. Last week, the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Commerce formed a Debate Commission, and appealed to Manning and Persad-Bissessar to agree to discuss matters of national importance in a public forum.
Manning dismissed this while on a tour of Tarodale Heights, a Housing Development Corporation (HDC) project in his San Fernando East constituency.
’What do I have to gain by doing a debate with Mrs Persad-Bissessar. I have nothing to gain by that. It has nothing to do with the answers you give or any such thing’ he said.
’The PNM instead of doing these debates we prefer to do as we are doing which is to walk around as we are walking now,’ he said.
I agree with the pnm's position.
PNM STOPS ROWLEY
By Clint Chan Tack Wednesday, April 28 2010
click on pic to zoom in
THE eagerly anticipated meeting of PNM Diego Martin West candidate Dr Keith Rowley, which had been scheduled for tomorrow night at Starlite Shopping Plaza, has been cancelled by the party executive.
This would have been Rowley’s first public meeting since he was chosen on April 14 by the party’s screening committee to contest the Diego Martin West seat, a PNM stronghold, which Rowley has won in every general election since 1991.
The meeting had been organised by the Diego Martin West constituency executive and was not part of the PNM’s national public meetings, the latest of which is due to take place in Penal tonight.
Rowley’s meeting would have taken place at the car park opposite the Starlite Shopping Plaza in Diego Martin. It was due to begin at 7.30 pm.
PNM Diego Martin West constituency vice-chairman Sigler Jack told Newsday tomorrow’s meeting which would have marked the start of active campaign for Rowley’s re-election has been postponed until further notice.
Jack said senior PNM officials contacted the constituency executive yesterday and told them to put a hold on Rowley’s meeting until after the party’s official presentation of candidates at a rally at Woodford Square, Port-of-Spain on Sunday.
When asked, Jack said he found nothing unusual about the party’s instruction to cancel the constituency meeting. He assured that after Sunday’s presentation, Rowley will speak at several constituency meetings to be held in Diego Martin West. Jack was attending a campaign management team meeting and said Rowley was not present. Calls to Rowley’s cellphone and residential phone lines went unanswered yesterday.
Other constituency officials said Rowley has been doing a considerable amount of field work since being chosen by the screening committee, which is chaired by PNM political leader, Prime Minister Patrick Manning. “Things are looking very good in the West,” they told Newsday.
PNM chairman Conrad Enill yesterday said the postponement of Rowley’s constituency meeting was not an attempt to stop him from speaking. “He will be part of the PNM team (contesting the election),” Enill said.

Volney fits well in d UNC. Look d next AG
The Privy Council Tells Justice Herbert Volney his Ruling was Wrong in the Brad Boyce Trial
The Privy Council has ruled that High Court Judge Herbert Volney was wrong when he told a jury to return a not guilty verdict in the Brad Boyce trial seven years ago.
But despite the ruling Brad Boyce will not be rearrested. The ruling was handed down by the Privy Council this morning and it comes after this country’s Director of Public Prosecution appealed Justice Volney’s decision to free Brad Boyce. in the death of Jason Johnson.
Mr. Johnson was struck in the head during an altercation outside a night club in St. James in 1996.
In the trial Brad Boyce was represented by Karl Hudson Phillips Q.C.
The Privy Council questioned a number of the judge’s rulings noting that events then took an unusual course after the defence put its medical expert on the witness stand.
The Privy Council noted that Justice Volney, of his own motion, recalled pathologist Dr. Hughvon Des Vignes to ask him about his qualifications in forensic pathology.
The law lords said Justice Volney, still acting on his own accord, called chief pathologist, Professor Chandulal to ask him about the qualifications required for civil service appointment as a forensic pathologist.
Based on Dr. Chandulal’s testimony Justice Volney deemed the evidence of Dr. Des Vignes inadmissible and directed the jury to return a not guilty verdict.
The D.P.P. challenged the judges decision saying to exclude the evidence of Dr. Des Vignes was wrong in point of law.
The Privy Council agrees saying Justice Volney should not have called Professor Chandulal to the witness stand for the purpose of giving his opinion on the expertise of another witness.
Following the not guilty verdict seven years ago, Brad Boyce migrated to Australia.
The Privy Council says he must remain free because too much time had passed since the incident and much of the eyewitness testimony would now be unreliable.

Helped by PNM's Free Education (http://guardian.co.tt/news/politics/2010/04/29/helped-pnms-free-education)
The People’s National Movement (PNM) campaign has been centred on flaunting their successes, chief among them that of free tertiary education. Their latest press advertisement talks about moving from ABCs to PhD. I am a beneficiary of the Government’s free tertiary education, having completed studies at the College of Science Technology and the Applied Arts of Trinidad and Tobago (COSTAATT), and who is currently reading for a Bachelor of Business Administration. I stand among thousands of other citizens who have been conferred with an Associate, Bachelor, PhD, diploma or certificate. I have specialised knowledge in an area of academia without having to bear the financial burden.
logoIt is because of this specialised knowledge, or what sociologists describe as mankind moving into a period of enlightenment, where logic was used to solve problems rather than religion or superstition, why I always have maintained the PNM’s policy of free tertiary education would backfire on them. That time is now, in this election. Barack Obama, in his book The Audacity of Hope, mentioned that political parties choose their voters and voters do not choose their political parties. This holds true for the PNM as it always has chosen the under-privileged in society, the less educated, the illiterate and the poor as its primary voters. An examination of Laventille, Maloney, Morvant and the use of social programmes like Cepep and URP justifies this. The party has also predominantly chosen Afro-Trinidadians as the UNC has chosen Indo-Trinidadians as its voters, but my argument is not based on race but an enlightened versus an unenlightened electorate.
Free tertiary education has allowed universities, colleges and institutions of higher learning to churn out “enlightened” graduates in larger numbers than ever before. The University of the West Indies and COSTAATT have gone on record saying they both had record high enrolment over the years. As a corollary to this there has been an erosion of uneducated, illiterate and unenlightened voters who are dependent on the PNM for their manna. A second corollary is the fact that race-based, tribal politics have no influence on the enlightened and the PNM has failed to change this strategy in tandem with a changing enlightened electorate. The party did not predict this revolution of enlightenment, of intelligence and of a new way of thinking in our twin-island Republic.
On the other hand, it is stuck in a rut of tribal, race-based politics and of needless picong. It is an insult to our intelligence to have Culture Minister Marlene Mc Donald talk about Roodal Moonilal jumping from Panday’s pants into Kamla’s dress while asking us in the same breath to be our representative in Parliament. This brings me to the third corollary, where illogical arguments are put forward by the Government to an enlightened electorate who are more capable now of sifting through propaganda, lies and untruths.
For example;
• Pennelope Beckles is too old to represent Arima, while Manning is young enough to run for Prime Minister;
• Keith Rowley is fired for “wajang” behaviour while the behaviour of Marlene Mc Donald and Christine Kangaloo is endorsed on the platform;
• Bernard Campbell is deported back to the United States while Calder Hart is whisked away in VIP treatment;
• The Prime Minister refuses a televised debate to discuss issues to an enlightened electorate. Debates are a hallmark of developed nations but the only thing Manning copies from developed nations are their skyscrapers;
• Government has no money to assist children in need of life-saving surgeries but, a $2 million flag is purchased;
• Union leaders joined the coalition to get their money out of Clico, but Karen Tesheira breaking a deposit just before the financial debacle is mere coincidence; and,
• The public denigration of Makandal Daaga while kudos is given to Calder Hart.
With an increase in knowledge the citizens of this country demand better governance, something Kamla and the coalition need to keep in mind. We can assure them that should they be successful at the polls the citizenry will judge them by the same high standards the PNM failed to deliver.
Bourbon, I have a friend who has been making this very point to me long before any election was in the air and he was reiterating it to me over the past weekend.
I didn't expect the enlightenment to come so fast though.....interesting, very interesting....

COP wants international observers for general elections
Monday 26th April, 2010
The Congress of People is calling on the government to invite international observers for the upcoming general election.
The COP says regional observers do not have the capacity required to ensure that the elections are free and fair.
Members of the COP made the request in light of what it says are the underhanded election tactics of the government.
The COP says it's made several attempts to access the report of regional observers on the 2007 General Elections.
Deputy Political Leader Prakash Ramadhar says the inability of the party to access the findings is part of the reason why his organisation wants government to go a step further and recruit international agencies.
Mr. Ramadhar says the denial of entry to US campaign strategist Bernard Campbell is evidence of the depths to which members of the government will go to win the election.

Penny’s back in the race
Published: 30 Apr 2010
Outgoing MP for Arima Pennelope Beckles is expected to be chosen as the People’s National Movement’s candidate for La Horquetta/Talparo. Beckles, who was rejected as the candidate for Arima, said she was called by the constituency executive in the neighbouring seat and she was happy to appear before the party’s screening committee at Balisier House, Port-of-Spain, yesterday. The screening was necessary because the approved candidate Shivan Ojah-Maharaj had sworn allegiance to the United States.
Another PNM candidate Bos Sharma, chosen to represent St Augustine, had renounced his British citizenship and as a result would remain the candidate for the seat. Among the other prospective candidate screened yesterday were Eldon Coker and Nadra Nathai Gayan.logo They both said they were confident of being chosen to represent the PNM. Beckles said she felt privileged to be asked to represent La Horquetta/Talparo. She said she represented “quite a large part” of the constituency when it fell within the boundary of the Arima seat.
“It’s an area I am familiar with,” an upbeat Beckles added. She said she gave favourable consideration to the request which was made by many in the constituency. She said the meeting was “quite pleasant.” And 28-year-old Christin Ramdial was yesterday selected as the PNM’s candidate for Oropouche East. She said she wanted to represent the people of the constituency to ensure that they got better representation. UNC deputy political leader Roodal Moonilal is the incumbent MP for that constituency.

Based on the combined UNC/COP votes and the PNM votes of last election Chaguanas West is a marginal seat. Saying Chaguanas West is not marginal simply because the current sentiment is PNM cannot win and keep the seat in the upcoming elections does not make sense..

The caption on that youtube clip is incorrect. The discussion is about Chaguanas East, which is a marginal given a fairly large PNM supporter base there.

Reconsider debate
Kamla to PM:
Carolyn Kissoon South Bureau
Thursday, April 29th 2010
United National Congress leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar, last night called on Prime Minister Patrick Manning to reconsider his decision not to participate in a public political debate.
Persad-Bissessar said: ’It is not about your personal gain. But what the people will gain and I believe the people can gain. They can be better informed to make a decision on election day. So I am asking you Mr Manning to reconsider so that we can meet one on one.’
Persad-Bissessar was speaking to reporters before she addressed members of the San Fernando Business Association at Soong’s Great Wall Restaurant in San Fernando.
Manning declined the invitation to the public debate with Persad-Bissessar. The debate proposal was first raised by UNC chairman Jack Warner when the party launched its political campaign two weeks ago.
Last week, the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Commerce formed a Debate Commission and appealed to Manning and Persad-Bissessar to agree to discuss matters of national importance in a public forum.
At the function, Persad-Bissessar promised the business community in San Fernando to address their concerns when she got into Government. Among the goodies was the creation of a one-stop shop to import goods into the country.
’A matter of simplifying the process of getting the business done, so you would not have to be running back and forth from San Fernando to Port-of-Spain and back,’ she said

He reiterated earlier proposals for boosting new sectors, in addition, he said, to aircraft maintenance. Manning stated that a “transformation plan” for agriculture was under way, in moving into agro-business for food and nutrition security. He promised: “We intend to make every farmer and every fisherman into a full-fledged business person.” He told of improved agriculture access roads and cheaper cost for fertiliser, adding that “our commercial farms are already a resounding success.” Manning repeated earlier pledges to establish an international financial centre, saying it “will become a reality when the PNM is returned to office.” For her part, Persad-Bissessar spoke of a seven-pillar that included more school computers and prisons reform.
i dunno boy but i never see or hear somebody talk ah whole pile ah heap ah absolute nothing like how kamla continues to do....She is a waste. Meaningless flowery language. No substance and no backbone.
Imagine she back down from criticism of CEPEP. Instead of honestly identifying problems and proposing solutions they propose raise of pay and 'increased job security.'
The treasury empty and PNM can't control inflation but they propose to increase the minimum wage ( the union people talking $20) , increase pension to $ 3000, 'expand GATE' and buy laptops for primary school children .
Laptops 4 primary school chirren all yuh must stop lie on d woman. She eh say dat.
Nope she didnt say dat. She said computers for SEA students.
source? for each student at home or school PCs?
Dahs wha she say on a platform. Dookeran said that same ting last elections....dem just talkin cuz dey could. While admittedly there are some students who may benefit and this may be their only avenue of actually getting a computer....how feasible is it...really?

Health warning making the rounds by e-mail
(http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h104/pecan6/mohtt.jpg)
The Ministry of Health has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease. This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim (pronounced "gonna re-elect him"). It is more commonly known as Manning. Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past 2 and a half years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease.
Cognitive symptoms of individuals infected with Gonorrhea Lectim include, but are not limited to: Anti-social personality disorder traits; delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor; chronic mangling of the English language; extreme cognitive dissonance; inability to incorporate new information; pronounced xenophobia; inability to accept responsibility for actions; exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado; uncontrolled facial smirking; ignorance of geography and history; tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and a strong propensity for categorical, all-or nothing behavior.
The disease is sweeping Trinidad. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease which originated in Laventille has spread throughout Trinidad with such speed. there is work on a cure, and it is hope that within a few weeks this cure, known as Man-out, will be available. responsible for this vaccine is a group of researches led by the esteemed Kamla Persad-Bissesar, with Mr. Winston Dookeran as the chief analyst and several other key members from other disease control groups such as the TOP, NJAC.
Until then, we wish to advise the public to please remain cautious.

ofcouse i am. It only takes one stupid move ( the "protest" bussing through the meeting) to encourage a bigger stupid move - the assult. We lucky fight didnt break out that night self. Even if it wasnt pnm who instigated the protest, who ever did it shouldve known that pnm would get the blame and trouble could start.
Lets just hope this ends with this incident.

Cops investigate missile thrown into crowd
A heavy object was thrown into the crowd during Rudranath Indarsingh’s address at the UNC’s meeting at he Couva Car Park. The object, said to be made of metal and the size of a golf ball, struck Maureen Warner, the wife of UNC chairman Jack Warner, on the leg, then struck her friend Joanne Mora on the upper left forearm.
The women were seated on the front row stage-side in an area cordoned off. Few in the crowd knew what had happened but police officers moved in quickly to question the women and dispatch officers to nearby streets. Mora was removed from her seat to another location. The women refused to be taken for medical treatment.
This happened while Ramona Ramdial, the school teacher chosen to replace Basdeo Panday as candidate for Couva North, addressed supporters.

you see some people dont think this far..removing Manning is one issue but you also have to remove his loyalists..He (Rowley) will have to do the same ting that some people criticized Kamla for doing..which is getting rid of some of the senior members of the party who were still Panday loyalists

UNC suspends media ads
Thursday 6th May, 2010
An email was sent to several media houses indicating that all ads should be suspended.
And one story making the rounds today says the suspension is a result of UNC Chairman Jack Warner pulling his money from the campaign. The unconfirmed reports say this is because there has been a falling out between Mr Warner and the UNC political leader, Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
However, Ernie Ross the owner of Ross Advertising responsible for the campaign has denied that there is a rift in the party. He says the ads have suspended ads because they are in the process of sending out new ads to be placed in the media.
Mr Ross categorically denies that his company was having any trouble with financing the campaign.

Robinson: Why I met Kamla
Richard Lord
Published: 7 May 2010
Richard Lord
Former President Arthur NR Robinson says his meeting with prime ministerial candidate Kamla Persad-Bissessar was intended to reduce the level of confrontation in T&T. Robinson on Thursday hosted Persad-Bissessar and political leader of the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP) Ashworth Jack at his Ellerslie Park, Maraval, home. He told the Guardian yesterday: “There seems to be, if not intentionally, the appearance of some physical aspect in the adversarial positions being taken.”
He said his luncheon meeting with Persad-Bissessar was intended to “make a small contribution, by an act of civility.” Robinson said he also decided to have lunch with the UNC leader because “it was the first time in the history of T&T that a lady is competing in the race to become Prime Minister; I felt that some decency could appear in electioneering in our country at this time.” Robinson said many citizens had been complaining to him about how “disturbed they are by the atmosphere in T&T with respect to the election campaign.” Robinson, also a former Prime Minister, said: “I, myself, am quite unhappy over the level of argument and rhetoric that is taking place.
“It is very different from what took place in my time in the early years when I entered politics,” he added. He said the argument that “if I am corrupt as I do admit, then you are more corrupt that I am” is “a non-argument and a disreputable one.” Robinson said he hoped his luncheon meeting with Persad-Bissessar “would be a signal, however minute, to help reduce the level of confrontation.” He said all politicians must remember, as he did while in politics, that “our children are witnesses to our behaviour and may in some way be influenced by it to the detriment of the future of our nation.”

eh want to misinterpret yuh
I took a diary I had and began to circle a number of dates. I circled the 24th of May, I circled the date on which we will have to dissolve the Parliament, I circled the date on which we would have to have a special convention ... I circled the date on which we should start walkabouts in constituencies, I circled the date on which we should start walkabouts in the national community ... all of these dates were circles against the possibility, and against the possibility that the diary fell into the wrong hands, I circled some other dates that were of no significance at all,
So even if, my dear friends, that diary fell into the wrong hands it would have meant absolutely nothing to who got it,

FIVE DIE IN FIRE
RELATIVES CLAIM CAMPAIGN CONNECTION
Akile Simon akile.
Monday, May 10th 2010
FIVE PEOPLE, including two children, died in a fire at the home of a known United National Congress (UNC) activist, which police and fire officials believe was deliberately set.
Around 1.45 a.m. yesterday, a loud explosion startled residents of Sixth Avenue, Barataria.
The explosion ignited a car parked close to the entrance of an apartment where Ranchan ’Bellies’ Dourgah, 54, lived with his wife, Taramatie Sirju-Dourgah, 56, grandchildren Nivon Bobby David, 11, and 22-month-old Christianna Dourgah, and their son-in-law Titus Joel Gabriel, 27.
The wooden entrance of the apartment, an annex to a house occupied by other members of the Dourgah family, quickly caught fire, trapping the five victims inside. The apartment did not have any fire escape and only one entrance.
Residents and relatives tried to douse the flames with buckets of water and hoses before the Fire Service arrived at the scene and extinguished the blaze and found the bodies of the five victims.
In an immediate response, the Police Service stated that an investigation had been launched but noted ’as it is still very early in the investigation, no motive or cause of the fire has been determined’

A letter of comfort
Published: 10 May 2010
Dear Mr Manning: I was disappointed when you called upon Makandal Daaga to apologise to Christians for his having desecrated (your words) the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception during the Black Power revolt of 1970. I was even more disturbed when you castigated him for wearing a dashiki in these post-Black Power days although you wear African clothes on Emancipation Day, one of the few concessions that you make towards your Africanness. In your speech, you reminded Christians that what happened in the past is likely to happen in the future so that they ought to be on their guard against Daaga. Therefore, you requested that the leadership of the RC Church demand “a letter of comfort” from Mr Daaga to assuage their doubts and to ease their fears. Given Mr Daaga’s busy schedule, I thought I would provide you with a letter of comfort since you display a misunderstanding of our history, particularly when he is contributing to the national debate of healing and understanding.
As I listened to your remarks, I was tempted to remind you that the doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church were used to enslave Africans in this land. As early as 1789, the governing authorities issued a Cedula which made every slave owner obligated to instruct his slaves in the principles of Roman Catholicism. It did not matter if the enslaved Africans were Igbo or Hausa and that they practised Yoruba or Islam that believed in monotheism and an afterlife. In 1797, when Ralph Abercromby captured Trinidad for the British, only the Roman Catholic Church was recognised by law and supported by the Government. After February 1797, every person landing in Trinidad had to become a Roman Catholic or be prevented from worshipping in any other church. Thank God, the Hindus hadn’t arrived on these shores yet. From 1817 to 1824, the British Government asked the churches to assist them in preparing enslaved Africans for emancipation.
An Order in Council of 1824 provided religious instructions for all the slaves and ordered the clergymen to deliver to the commandant of each quarter (something analogous to a county) the name and place of abode of every enslaved African who was instructed in the principles of religion. In 1834, when slavery was abolished, the Home Government gave lots of money to instruct the newly-freed Africans in the Christian religion. I cite these facts to let you know that the Roman Catholic and the other established churches played a large role in obliterating the religion of African peoples and contributing to our dispossession in this land. In 1848, Lord Harris was forced to affirm that “a race has been freed but a society has not been formed” and in 1970, at a special PNM convention, Eric Williams reminded us that T&T was founded on the European colonial values of racism—the assumed superiority of white over black.
At that convention, which I am sure you attended, Dr Williams asserted that “the most pernicious affect of colonialism…for the West Indies has been that many black people have ‘internalised’ this (European) value system and have come to believe in the deepest recesses of their minds that black is in fact inferior to white. Black dignity in the Caribbean, as elsewhere in the New World, will be achieved only if (a) sense of worth is established (among black people.)” It was this revulsion against presumptions of white superiority that led the followers of Black Power to call for the elimination of all manifestations of whiteness from their systems and their accompanying symbols. I am sure you would remember that the promotion of African cultural values was an inescapably part of that revolution of values that took place among black Trinidadians/Tobagonians. I do not know where you were when this revolution against the pernicious influences of whiteness was taking place but I know that the church began to take a deeper look into its participation in a value system that was detrimental to the liberation of the African person.
Therefore, to the degree that the doctrines and symbols of the Roman Catholic Church contributed to the devaluation of the lives of black people, it is to that degree that the purveyors of Black Power were correct to consider painting the entire church in black if such an action contributed to our spiritual reclamation. You are fond of telling the story that when you first went up for screening, Dr Williams asked you if you read Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth. You would remember that Fanon talked about the cleansing nature of violence as a way to expunge the crippling psychological aspects that colonialism had upon the psyche of our people. While Dr Williams may not have agreed with painting all of the symbols of the Roman Catholic Church black, he would certainly have understood that such a desire on the part of any progressive black man of the time was perfectly reasonable.
It is commendable that such an action did not take place but to ask Mr Daaga to apologise for a gesture that spoke to the psychological cleansing of the wretched of this nation is to blaspheme against all that is best in our people. Unfortunately, it also demonstrates an ignorance of what we, as a people, had to overcome to get us where we are today. I hope that you give a second thought to your utterances. Perhaps you may have the courage to apologise to our brother for your ignoble suggestions. As Dr Williams understood only too well, we can only reconstruct our society if we understand where we were in the past; what we had to do to get where we are today; and the imperative that we honour those who helped us to see our condition, particularly at moments when we tend to be blinded by our eyes and become tone deaf by our rhetoric.

Imbert wants Kamla’s views on abortionMan you know that Christian Fundamentalist ALL over are showing their true colours
http://guardian.co.tt/news/politics/2010/05/12/imbert-wants-kamla-s-views-abortion
Works and Transport Minister Colm Imbert has called on UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar to tell the public in her next meeting whether she is for or against abortion.
This was met with loud cheers and applause from the supporters who packed the Princes Town Triangle for the PNM political meeting on Monday. Imbert alleged that Persad-Bissessar was “keeping the company” of people who were promoting abortion and he saw the need to demand her views on the issue.
“Does Kamla stand for abortion? Is she promoting abortion?” he asked. “I want to know, because I see she is keeping the company of people who are promoting abortion. “If we put God out of our thoughts, and by some mistake Kamla Persad-Bissessar becomes prime minister, will she legalise abortion?” Imbert said the PNM’s stance on the issue was clear in that it valued life and did not support abortion. “I can say on this platform tonight the PNM is pro life. We promote life. We don’t promote death,” he said.
Hmmmmmmmm, ah wonder why he question her?
Imbert and them say they valued life? What attempt was made to stop or minimise the 100 or so murders per year for the past 4 years. let them drug dealers kill one another, which included children?pressure them. We need more 24 hr police patrol, especial urban areas. Crime prevention is better that solving crime... I can vote for that
You was and still is ah forkin JOKE!! and yeh, ah c@nt iz ah genuine thing BC it brings forth life and give pleasure, so call me ah c@nt any day! but yuhs ah battyhole, and ah batty hole is ah dump! whose sole purpose is tuh brings forth refuse just like you!It's ah still shot you moron!!toe poke

Overnight, this well-educated, gainfully employed, crime-free community was transformed into a hellhole.Huh?

.Manning: British coalition bound to fail
Keino Swamber South Bureau
Thursday, May 13th 2010
PRIME Minister Patrick Manning says the coalition government formed between the United Kingdom’s Conservatives and Liberal Democrats parties, following last Thursday’s general election, is bound to fail.
Speaking on Wednesday at a People’s National Movement (PNM) political meeting at Jarvis Street, Vistabella, San Fernando, Manning said he formed the conclusion for the simple reason that coalitions are inherently unstable.
Manning is predicting that British citizens will return to the polls within one year.
’For coalition governments to work well, it calls for a certain amount of political maturity,’ Manning said.
Manning told supporters that a coalition ’also calls for a leader whose authority is accepted and respected and, if you don’t have that, you are going to have bacchanal, you’re going to have chaos and you’re going to have confusion’.
He said, ’They must have some kind of agreement on the policy positions that they want to adopt and most policy decisions are based upon some kind of vision upon which they all agree.’
Manning asked whether any agreements on policy had been made among the parties forming the People’s Partnership - the United National Congress (UNC), the Congress of the People (COP), the Tobago Organisation of the People (TOP), the National Joint Action Committee (NJAC) and the Movement for Social Justice (MSJ).
’If there is one thing of which we can be certain, is if that group of people are put into government in this country, you’re going to have problems from the word go.’
’Even with an agreement in the United Kingdom, you could confidently predict that the UK will go to a general election within one year. You could predict that from now. It is better to be safe than sorry. So therefore, vote for the People’s National Movement on May 24.’

Bakr’s son confident of election win
ctntworld.com
Fuad Abu Bakr promises that when he becomes the next Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago he will launch a Commission of Inquiry into the 1990 coup.
The New National Vision candidate for St Ann's West was speaking on First Up this morning.
The NNV, with the Jamaat ul Muslimeen leader as its political leader, is contesting 12 seats in the upcoming election-most of them along the east/west corridor, as well as Chaguanas East and San Fernando West.
The son of Yasin Abu Bakr son, Fuad, expects to win them all, with PNM securing only 9.
So when May 24 comes he says this country will face a situation similar to the UK's and the ball will fall in his court.
He says whoever is found responsible for the devastating events of 1990 will pay the price.
The younger Abu Bakr admits that the negative stigma attached to his father often shadows him but he insists he is his own man and thinks he should be given a fair chance.
The twenty-five year old is asking the electorate to allow honesty, integrity and service be the guiding principles when voting for their MP.
He says whoever is found responsible for the devastating events of 1990 will pay the price.

GALLERYING! When the politicians finish gallerying I want them to answer the following questions:
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DECREASING CRIME?
To decrease it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REFORMING THE EDUCATION SYSTEM?
To reform it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DECREASING THE MURDERS RATE?
First to determine what it is via a Commission of Inquiry ... then, of course, to decrease it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REFORMING THE CONSTITUTION?
It depends on the Constitution ... but to reform it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR INCREASING JOBS?
To increase them.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR INCREASING THE NATIONS' WATER SUPPLY?
To increase it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR REPAIRING THE INFRASTRUCTURE OF OUR NATION?
To repair it.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DEALING WITH HOUSING SHORTAGE?
To address it in the short term.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR DEVELOPING BLIGHTED AREAS?
That's a potentially contradictory proposition. However, the plan is to develop them to the extent they are not developed, rather than blight them.
WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR PRISON REFORM?
To imprison reformers.

Philbert on Kamla hit: Evidence not matching upGeisha Kowlessar
Published: 14 May 2010
Geisha Kowlessar
Acting Police Commissioner James Philbert has said there was “contradictory evidence” regarding the purported $5 million hit placed on the life of UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar. At a press conference yesterday at Police Administration Building, Port-of-Spain, Philbert said officers conducted extensive investigations from the time the claim was reported.
“But the facts of the report are contradictory to what the analysis has said. “A report was made to the police and the police made an analysis of the facts that was reported. In doing that analysis it did not substantiate whatever facts came in the report,” Philbert said. A week ago, the claim of a “hit” first surfaced, where an anonymous caller was said to have information that Persad-Bissessar’s life was in jeopardy.

Dr. Hamid Ghany poll shows slight increase for PNM
Thursday 13th May, 2010
The latest poll conducted for CNMG by political scientist Dr. Hamid Ghany contains some good news for the ruling People's National Movement in the run-up to the May 24 general election.
Although the People's Partnership accord is still way out in front, the poll shows that the election race has tightened following gains made by the PNM
Dr. Ghany is a senior lecturer in government and Dean of the faculty of Social Sciences at the University of the West Indies in St. Augustine as well as Coordinator of the University's Constitutional Affairs and Parliamentary Studies Unit.
Dr. Ghany says the gains by the PNM seem connected to the party's handling of the Keith Rowley issue.
Dr. Ghany says the gains are also due to the effects of the PNM's campaign focusing on its record in office and its social programmes.
The latest results of a poll conducted for this station - CNMG - by political scientist Dr. Hamid Ghany finds that Prime Minister Patrick Manning's attraction has increased slightly among voters ahead of the May 24 general election.
The poll was conducted over the last weekend, May 8 to 9, and voters were asked whom they would prefer to see as the next Prime Minister of this country.
The Hamid Ghany - C News poll will be done weekly up to the election. Dr. Ghany discussed the poll responses in an interview with CNMG's deputy Head of News and Current Affairs, Verne Burnett.
Dr. Ghany will discuss the poll results more fully tomorrow morning on our news and current affairs programme - First Up, simulcast on television and radio from 6 am each weekday morning.

just a couple days ago someone was pointing out to me that if he was willing to step down a few months ago, (which is exactly what would have happened in the UK in the wake of a scandal like the UDECOTT one), there wouldn't be a need for an election.

@ Jah Gol, Patrick eh resigning....
@ Daryn in a real country, not a 2 x 4 one like T&T, Patrick, Calder, Karen, Gary, Martin et al......would have been history a long time ago. Instead not only does Patrick offer himself up for office yet again, but Martin (who apparently just cyar stand to face the electorate) addresses us on a political platform....and Karen too.....poor Gary ah guess he just really couldn't cut it even in this bunch..... ::) ::)

Trinidad elections: A Herald interview with Winston Dookeran
.
Q: There is a lot of talk in the campaign about corruption on both sides. Do the questions surrounding the UNC chairman Jack Warner, a FIFA soccer executive, concern you?
A: It does concern me. We have to adhere to the rule of law. Mere allegations do not force us to take action. In the world of politics, you never know what is the motivating factor. We're caught between the ideals of a clean government and the maintenance of the rule of law. We're watching what has been said about Mr. Warner very closely. If there's any validity to those claims, it would be a matter of major concern. I think it should be closely watched, but we should not take preemptive action until it is determined that someone is guilty.
Q: The allegation that he secured a lucrative fast-food and beverage soccer contract for his son has been around for a while.
A: That's why I don't understand why it has not been dealt with.
Q: Is this something you've talked to UNC leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar about?
A: We haven't discussed this but we've talked about the need to have a level of integrity. A big part of the protocol for the People's partnership has to do with the values of governance and the adherence of those values of governance.

DESPERATION eh weary
Alleged church designer goes on sick leave
Kimberly Mackhan
Published: 18 May 2010
http://guardian.co.tt/news/general/2010/05/18/alleged-church-designer-goes-sick-leave
Stephen Mendes would not be returning to work at Design Collaborative Associates Limited (DCAL) for “a long, long time,” an official at the firm said yesterday. Another DCAL official explained that Mendes was away from the office on sick leave. “He is on sick leave. I have no idea when he will be back in office,” she said. The Guardian was also unable to contact Mendes at his Westmoorings home. A woman answering his phone at home was unwilling to speak about Mendes’ alleged involvement in designing a mega-church in the Heights of Guanapo
Mendes has not come forward to either dismiss or acknowledge allegations in the public domain about Prime Minister Patrick Manning’s alleged controversial involvement in the construction of the Lighthouse of the Lord Jesus Christ Church. Directors of Lighthouse of the Lord Jesus Christ Church at the Heights include Julianna Pena-Devonish, spiritual adviser to the Prime Minister. Manning has admitted to visiting the site of the church more than a year before Cabinet approval was given for the grant of State land for its construction. In 1976, Mendes established an associate DCAL office in Trinidad and was listed at its principal director.
His biography on the Trinidad and Tobago Institute of Architects (TTIA) Web site lists him to be the project director of the joint DCAL, Genivar and Hyder Consulting planning study for the redevelopment of the 100 acres of the waterfront of Port-of-Spain.
When the Guardian visited DCAL’s office at Ellerslie Plaza, Maraval, yesterday afternoon, an official said: “None of them (the directors) are here. We do not have directors anymore. That is as plainly as I can put it.” She redirected questions to another DCAL director, Christopher Bent. “(You can speak with) our supervisor (Christopher Bent) but he went out to a meeting. I doubt he is coming back today. They say he may not be back today,” she said. Bent was also said to be an architect and urban designer with Genivar.
The report of the Commission of Enquiry into Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Limited (Udecott) and the local construction sector raised several concerns about Udecott’s contracts to Genivar. “It is clearly arguable that the regular employment of one firm (Genivar) as project manager was an abuse of the provision of the 1998 rules permitting sole selection,” the report said. The report added: “This is not to suggest the choice of Genivar was in any way inappropriate to the tasks to be undertaken. “(But Genivar’s) regular employment by Udecott raises issues of fair competition and openness as well as the obvious need for effective competition.”
When asked when Mendes would return, a DCAL official said: “Mr Mendes is not here in the office and would not be here for a long, long time.” Questioned about how long was “a long, long time,” she responded: “We have no idea.” When asked whether he was not in the country, she declined to comment. Over the weekend, Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar produced documents claiming to establish connections between the Prime Minister and former Udecott executive chairman Calder Hart in the design and construction of the Lighthouse of the Lord Jesus Christ Church at the Heights of Guanapo. Persad-Bissessar also produced documents showing that Shanghai Construction was building the church and that Udecott was the client.
They included a letter, dated May 2, 2006, from Mendes to Hart. Mendes was quoted in the letter as indicating that he had finished and submitted the architectural and engineering drawings for the church. He wrote: “The structural drawings developed to date are not in accordance with the recent changes made to the architectural drawings as a result of recent PM’s requests. Additionally, they need to be developed in far greater detail.” He also wrote: “Additionally, the consultants need to develop and finalise their general arrangement drawings due to the recent changes called for by the PM, including those related to the residential component appended to the church.”

Pay cuts only for Ministers—Kamla
Cori Baynes
Published: 20 May 2010
Cori Baynes
The proposed pay cuts which UNC political leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar plans to impose should the People’s Partnership be victorious at the polls would not affect public servants.
Persad-Bissessar made the announcement yesterday during the launch yesterday of the People’s Partnership’s Errol Mc Lead’s (candidate for Pointe-a-Pierre) Sports and Cultural Foundation at the recreation grounds at Battoo Avenue, Marabella. As part of the People’s Partnership’s manifesto, Persad-Bissessar pledged to give TT$100 million to the establishment of a Life Fund which would be set up to assist children who are in need of medical treatment for serious ailments.
On Tuesday, during a political meeting at St Joseph, she further announced her plans to cut the pay of every Cabinet Minister by five per cent and her own by ten per cent which would go into the fund. Speaking to the crowd on hand for yesterday’s launch, Persad-Bissessar reassured the public they should not be afraid of her intentions. She said: “I want to make it very clear that those pay cuts will not impact on public servants. It is not our intention to cut the pay of public servants. “Be not afraid. We will cut the pay of the ministers and of the Prime Minister to give to the children,” she said.
My own instructions
Andy Johnson
Thursday, May 20th 2010
CALLING in on the TV6 Morning Edition programme two weeks ago, a regular caller from Cocorite, a dyed-in-the-balisier PNM supporter, issued a declaration which I took to be highly insulting. He said he had information that in the conduct of my role and function on the programme, I was taking instructions from Rienzi Complex.
Not that the accusation itself was a problem for me. What was insulting was that someone following the work I’ve been doing over all these years-in print, on radio and on television-would accept somebody’s propaganda that to hold an opinion on anything I would have to ’take instructions’ from anyone.
For the benefit of those who care to listen, the views I may express anywhere, and at anytime, are usually my own.
Of even greater benefit, perhaps, would be for me to share some of my own political philosophy, for those who continue to speculate as to where persons like me stand, four days before the election on May 24.
Let it be known that I take positions on issues, unreserved, most of the time, but not for or against political parties. For a partial reading of where I stand on the basis of which anyone would be free to deduce which party gets my support, consider the following.
Using the contentious Crowne Plaza Accord of 2001 as an entry point, my understanding of it was that former President Robinson did no wrong in calling on Patrick Manning to form the government at the time. In the year before that I had also supported Mr Robinson’s attempt to block Basdeo Panday’s move to pack the Senate with seven persons who had faced the polls and lost.
With the new government in place in 2002, I supported the effort to have the country abandon the Privy Council and accept the Caribbean Court of Justice as our final court of appeal. Without question, the Prime Minister’s policy of reaching out across the region to help countries hit by natural disasters over the last six years will also go down in the ’Yes’ column.
Almost blindly, my vote would be cast in favour of the moves for closer economic and political union with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States. Equally, I rooted for this country’s candidacy as the headquarters of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), and was among the last to let go of the idea, long after it became apparent that it was dead. I strongly oppose PetroCaribe and take issue with those Caricom states who broke sub-regional ranks to sign up for it, and those who see ALBA as an alternative to the FTAA.
But the government’s insistence on establishing an aluminium smelter industry in Trinidad and Tobago, in defiance of the substantial and passionate opposition, is another matter altogether.
Tying the political support of ordinary citizens to their need for basic employment is objectionable, and for party operatives to deny that this has been an entrenched element of the politics of coercion is behaviour to be condemned in the strongest possible terms.
Large numbers of voters in Trinidad and Tobago think more of having unprotected sex than they do about which party they feel confident enough to support. The politics of fear and scare tactics continues to spread, with voters made to feel that their very lives depend on what they choose to do in the polling booth.
The fact that we are going back to the polls two and a half years before the scheduled time is lost on many citizens who are being falsely encouraged to think that what is done on May 24 cannot be undone. But the fact that a Prime Minister who enjoyed an 11-seat advantage in Parliament felt unable to govern after a mere two years in office speaks loudly to the power which resides in the hands of ordinary people in the country.
Placing obstacles in the way of popular expression, all in an attempt to present a false image of contentment to visiting foreign leaders and their delegations, is repression in action.
May 24 is no ’freedom day’, no ’liberation day’, as one side in the contest is encouraging voters to see it. But alternatively, the idea of one side, one individual, being able to determine when and how we exercise this most critical option in our basket of democratic options ought to be a thing of the past.
This itself is as real an impediment to national progress and development as anything else.
Figure out, if you can, which side I’m on, and from where my ’instructions’ come.
