To the outsider, including foreign governments and companies with which T&T deals, there must be a view that something quite extraordinary, and not positive, is happening here.First, those looking in will have observed difficulties in obtaining US currency, even while officials tried to assure that there was no shortage.
Then there's the fact that the passport office–which processes and distributes travel documents and administers matters such as citizenship, facilitates Caricom's intra-regional travel arrangements and issues work permits–is now closed, after being barely functional for weeks. Then there are the problems at the licensing office, which are keeping that vitally important government service department from functioning fully or staying open for the prescribed hours of business.
As if the problems with ground transport were not sufficient, there have now been disruptive delays and cancellations of flights by the national airline.Collectively, these disruptions have resulted in major inconvenience for the smooth and efficient functioning of the day-to-day activities of individuals and businesses. In addition to those who have been directly affected, having such disorder hanging over the head of all in the country is a psychological aggravation everyone can do without.
