Kaiso and mega drug bust in T&T

by

20140123

Un­doubt­ed­ly the nu­mero uno news item to­day in T&T is the re­cent drug bust, and while the US and T&T au­thor­i­ties are cur­rent­ly in­volved in nail­ing the cul­prits, very sur­pris­ing­ly the talk among a sec­tion of the na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty is who was re­spon­si­ble for crack­ing open the case.At this time, who did it is not my con­cern, and I am wait­ing pa­tient­ly for when the facts are com­plete­ly out and I won't do as some peo­ple who are ap­par­ent­ly suf­fer­ing from an acute burst of ver­bal di­ar­rhoea and run­ning their trap–tra la lala.

On the street and on ra­dio talk shows in par­tic­u­lar, you can hear them talk­ing about who tief the drug, who the mul­ti­mil­lion-dol­lar ship­ment was des­tined for etc, and all kind of dotish talk. What I do know is that this is a se­ri­ous one and with the help of our Amer­i­can coun­ter­parts we will get to the bot­tom, or the top, of this scan­dal.I am al­so sure that at the end of the day some­body or bod­ies, are fac­ing jail big time.

Un­til then I am say­ing to let the peo­ple do their job, and for the first time with this col­lab­o­ra­tive ef­fort a ma­jor break­through would be made in putting a big dent in the drug trade for which T&T, be­cause of its ge­o­graph­i­cal lo­ca­tion, is a well known trans­ship­ment port.
