Hochoy Charles

The po­lit­i­cal par­ty ca­su­al­ly know as One Voice has a new name.

It is now ‘One To­ba­go Voice.’

Found­ing mem­ber of the par­ty, leader of the Plat­form of Truth, Ho­choy Charles made this an­nounce­ment at the mem­ber­ship meet­ing held at Rovanel Re­sort and Con­fer­ence Cen­ter in Crown Point on Sun­day, De­cem­ber 1.

Oth­er found­ing mem­bers, For­wards Christlyn Moore, head of the To­ba­go For­wards and To­ba­go Or­ga­ni­za­tion of the Peo­ple Ash­worth Jack, sat at the head ta­ble as the par­ty’s mem­bers rat­i­fied the con­sti­tu­tion.

The 60 per­sons who reg­is­tered for the meet­ing sat through a dis­cus­sion eval­u­at­ing every as­pect of the con­sti­tu­tion.

The sym­bol which was al­ready ap­proved by the Elec­tion and Bound­aries Com­mis­sion (EBC), did not sit well with some of the youth mem­bers.

The sym­bol is a tablet in­scribed with a loaf of bread.

Kevon McKen­na, Pub­lic Re­la­tions Of­fi­cer (PRO) of the TF strong­ly ob­ject­ed to the use of the ap­proved sym­bol.

How­ev­er, he was over­ruled by most of the mem­bers.

Speak­ing af­ter the con­sti­tu­tion was ap­proved, Moore said peo­ple should be care­ful of the peo­ple who lead the par­ty, as To­ba­go man­ages over $7 bil­lion an­nu­al­ly.

Ad­dress­ing the state of To­ba­go’s tourism, she wad­ed in­to Tourism Sec­re­tary Na­dine Stew­art-Phillips.

“She is pret­ty, pret­ty use­less,” Moore said.

She said the Sec­re­tary has not ad­dressed many is­sues fac­ing the tourism in­dus­try.

“The first thing that has to go is the $50 change fee,” she said.

Moore said she wasn’t afraid to deal with any is­sues fac­ing To­ba­go.

“I do sleep on my leader eye­lash...so I can blink...and I can talk freely, “ she said.

“Choose your lead­ers wise­ly!” Moore said.
