It’s no secret Laventille, though rich in history and proud incubator of some of the country’s greatest talents has remained one of the most depressed areas in the country. (Maybe these 2 are related?)
Neighbourhoods there are underdeveloped, have high unemployment and experience the highest levels of murder in the country.
Laventille West MP Fitzgerald Hinds does not agree that his constituency has been “left behind” and is lacking, and any ‘fixing or real development’ at all had to do with the mind and spirit of its people.

The "hidden" message there was that our society is diverse, but African people (dunno what he meant by this, they were born on the entire continent of Africa? I thought we were all Trinidadian) are not doing well. Therefore anyone can openly infer that it's the other diverse people's fault.

It was absolutely amazing to read the interview in today’s Sunday Guardian wherein the Member of Parliament for Laventille West Fitzgerald Hinds is quoted as saying to the people of Laventille to “Fix Your Mind & Stop Making Excuses.”
SO will this finally be a wakeup call for all the people who have been living in poverty and terrible conditions for sooo many years? Will they finally realize that them supporting their own kind is basically kicking themselves in the a55? will they now know that None all of the promises given to them over the last 2 decades are all LIES?
If they would still go back and be red and ready then you deserve every single thing that happens to you and your future family.
This is an insult of the highest order and is an admission of the absolute failure of any type of fiduciary responsibility by a Member of Parliament to his constituents.
Laventille has had 63 years of uninterrupted representation in Parliament by the PNM 1956, during which 46 of those years the PNM were in Govt.
Fitzgerald Hinds cannot even apologise for the continual neglect and lack of any real representation that he, as the MP and his Party have given to Laventille East/Morvant, Laventille West, Port of Spain South and surrounding areas… constituencies which have never benefited from the so-called ‘love and care’ of the PNM. These constituencies have always received crumbs while the PNM’s elite dined and wined and they became an army of dependents who remain to this day, a significant PNM vote bank.
Hinds’s PNM has always ignored the needs of its core constituents.
How can these citizens fix their minds and stop making excuses when, for the last 63 years, they have continued to have their concerns repeatedly and callously ignored by successive PNM governments. This is not unique; the PNM, in league with its upper-class financiers and new elite candidates, has repeatedly ignored the concerns of its poorer class of supporters.
It is their style to treat their core support badly and somehow skillfully nurture the myth that they alone care for them and represent their interests.
Having sought and got their vote once again in 2015, Hinds has been true to form with the modus operandi of former PNM MPs. He abdicated his duty to represent the constituency and is now blaming his constituents for his incompetence and for his Government abandoning them.
He continues to shift the blame for the past decades of non-representation onto the communities as he is looking forward to seeking another mandate in the up-coming General Elections. Only a moron could fail to grasp that is what he is doing.
Are the residents of Laventille responsible for their neighbour¬hoods being under developed, for having high unemployment and for experiencing the highest levels of murder in the country. He has admitted that in just over a decade, Laventille recorded 1318 murders, of which 1232 were gun-related.
As in past years, the PNM believes that all the residents need is a ten days, temporary low paying job just before election and they will be fooled into voting for the balisier.
Fitzgerald Hinds’s tenure in Parliament, like so many of his PNM colleagues, continues to be defined by failure after failure, lack of representation and in Hinds’s own case, public humiliations from his own Political Leader.
