Citizens of T&T should smile and take a bow and, while they are at it, keep their heads down to fully represent the level of shame brought to this country. It is clear to me now that the lightening speed in firing Mary King was nothing more than the UNC (the main party in the coalition government) finding an opportunity to dispense with a COP (a minor party in the PP) minister so that it can hold the reins of power alone. Suspicion existed all along but this whole Jack Warner saga has made clear that the dismissal of King had nothing to do with protecting the integrity of her Government. It was simply cleaning the UNC House and weakening the People's Partnership.
It's a shame that no one ran to the defence of King, yet all of you are running to the defence of Warner because they can drive on a smooth highway. If the cost of your sovereign honour and national pride amounts to a smooth road, then you deserve Warner. As for the Government, there is no integrity left to defend. The claim of integrity is as hollow as FIFA's claim of transparency.
