My concern as a citizen of T&T is that it's been almost two months since the Government implemented the speed gun but we are hearing nothing about the petition to raise the speed limit on the highways. Also, what is very troubling is that you virtually cannot contest a ticket as if you do and lose, you pay more. It seems justice is stacked against you.
What the Government should be paying more attention to:
�2 Agriculture–we need to be more food-secure (take heed what's happening in Venezuela).
�2 Solar energy–we should be investing in this (the sun so hot, we should use it to our advantage).
�2 It is good to build houses, HDC, but what about the green spaces?
I think we are too complacent as a people because all the Government is really doing is taxing the poor–food prices have gone up and at least 20 per cent of the country's workers has lost their jobs.
All we are hearing is that they have to find money to pay for jobs from the previous Government. If you were in opposition and did nothing about it I don't think anything is going to change. At least put legislation in place so the citizens will not suffer. All Government does thief money and nothing ever comes of it.
We don't ask for much–but be a government for the people and not for self.
