Rowley raises blackmail issue OPPOSITION Leader Dr Keith Rowley is questioning whether Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar may have been blackmailed into appointing Reshmi Ramnarine as the director of the Strategic Services Agency... Security problems go back to Independence From the very inception of the first party Government in TT in October 1956, six years before obtaining our Independence in 1962, there were problems with our national security services. Government having 'teething' problems FRESH from issuing an apology over her Government's handling of the Reshmi Ramnarine affair during Friday's sitting of the House of Representatives, Prime Minister Kamla Persad- Bissessar on Saturday admitted that the new Government was having it's share of "teething problems" but promised that the nine-month-old administration would "overcome" all of its early problems.

“Those whose blood was shed in clearing the forests to plant the cane prior to 1838, will rise up. Those who accepted a shilling a day, when the Africans got nothing, may join them.”
I admire your optimism , Madame L, but ‘me think,’ dem neo colonial stooges we had to deal with since 1962 , have done a masterful job,as a result of perfecting the art of Massa ‘divide
and rule,’ thus making the competing lower caste tribes somehow think that they are each other’s enemies, and so we are what we are today ,a hodgepog , mismatch of fake elites, and groveling peons, desperately trying to figure out which way is up , wile remaining perennial,underachieving laughing stocks across the region. It is getting extremely difficult to still refer to this country as home. Just wonder if I can invigle a desperate Cuban , Guyanese , Nigerian , Karachi , or Uttar Pradesh resident to buy this citizenship of mine.
Just kidding folks.

If one goes into politics wih the attitude that “It’s our turn to feed at the trough”, leaders and suuporters will pig out in the issuing of priviledge and perks.If one discovers” that mistakes were made,” two weeks after a steady hue and cry about it; does that speak of dim-wittedness or deliberate malfeasance in office? The next question is of course what processes have been put in place to prevent this happening again.
We cannot move from Governent by Hassekara to governtment by “Oh god, wey we go do now?” Both are failure systems.
Let the party now in power try not to do a Mubarak on the people, speak in double tongued phrases, while sending out his supporters in the streets to cause chaos, to be blamed on the peaceful protestors. Do not sell this country to foreign interests.Those whose blood was shed in clearing the forests to plant the cane prior to 1838, will rise up. Those who accepted a shilling a day, when the Africans got nothing, may join them.
