TRINIDAD PM ROWLEY GIVEN CLEAN HEALTH....

 
Emir 2019-03-13 08:30:55 

No surgery required. We can now breathe a sign of relief. The PM has a lot of work remaining- continuing on his fiscal reforms and sticking to his policies, no matter how unpopular- too many still want free money and this PM is the first, yes the first in the nation to make drastic cuts to freeness and he had done so without favor.

I remember when folks use to say the Oilfied Workers Union and the PSA were untouchables because no other PM dare touched them, well this PM did.

Next o the list is Carnival- the greatest show on the earth do not need government to survive- it is a private gig and look out for PM Rowley making more drastic cuts.

The so called "Chutney" Rumfest, must also be cut to zero- it is not our culture period.

We then need the PM to fix this so called religious grant. No more hand outs for the Christian community and Hindu Community for their religious holiday observances. And lately the "Muslims" also got grants to "observe Eid" well that is also not required and that grant an anti ethical to what Eid stands for, and the two "Muslims bodies" that accepted this grant ought to be ashamed of themselves.

Then the PM must then seek to reform public holidays- We are stuck with all at least 10 European Colonial/Religious holidays.

The Christian community must be allowed to choose 1, not 8 like they currently do.

In reply to ray

it's going down nicely,there are many indicators,many multiple days without murders,in the scheme of things with all the challenges and factors this is progress..

The real results would be more visible in a couple years,but trends are trends and despite the murders there is a downward trend taking place,watch it reduce to less than 30 a month as the year progresses..
