Residents threw garbage at a United National Congress (UNC) entourage and chased its candidate Raziah Ahmed, former Senate President and acting President of T&T, out of Ramsaran Street, San Fernando yesterday during a walkabout in the marginal constituency of San Fernando West.

Police were called in even though Ahmed said she was in no way threatened by the disgruntled residents.

As a banner of People’s National Movement (PNM) candidate Faris Al-Rawi fluttered in the wind, the residents said they did not want to see any politician at election time because of the “gimmicks.”

Natalie Des Vignes, from Ramsaran Street apartments, who contested the local government elections on an Independent Liberal Party (ILP) ticket last year, said they were unhappy with the UNC.

“We fight in the last elections with Carolyn Seepersad-Bachan and she give us nothing. We don’t even have a Cepep contract here to clean the place. We, the residents, have to chip up every month to raise money to cut the yard,” Des Vignes said. The lawn outside the apartment buildings was littered with beer bottles and other debris.

She added, “We have no work here and we don’t mind getting a few contracts because people here cannot even afford to buy food.”

Another resident, who requested anonymity, said, “We don’t want to see the UNC here. All they doing is passing and waving. What they feel this is a beauty contest? Children hungry here and the only way we will welcome them inside here is if they treat us better.”

A third resident added, “Kamla need to come here to Embacadere and meet with us. Come and check the youths, don’t send anybody else.”

Meanwhile, Vicky Ramlogan, who was part of Ahmed’s entourage said police were called in when the residents started to get unruly.

“They should not get on so because people have a right to vote for whoever they want. This is a democracy,” Ramlogan said.

He added that the residents threw their garbage at the entourage, without any care for the environment.

Ahmed said yesterday that it was the first time that she received such a response during her walkabouts.

“People came out on the road and started to shout. We continued to walk. I didn’t hear what they were saying,” she said.

Asked whether she was getting a negative response from the San Fernando West constituents, Ahmed responded, “The feeling we are getting is that some people clearly supports us and there are others who clearly do not support us. This is the first street where we got that response. We haven’t had this kind of situation before where people are getting on with themselves. I don’t know what their problem is but we are here to bring service to the people.” Police continued patrols in the area up to press time but there were no incidents of violence.

find this and the defacing of opponents Signage distasteful... leh we have a clean last week of SIlly Season nah?

Ramsaran st, had always been PNM to the bone. It is made up of 1960s Style barrack houses that PNM gave to them. Some used to pay $4 to $10 rent and even that they refuse to pay. Don't expect anything better from the inhabitants living there. They more PNM than any part of Trini.

It is amazing how you can talk out of both sides of your mouth just win a point.

This is not about points. It's about Al Rawi missing in non action and giving San Do west ppl rubber talk .
Same as San Do east you don't even see or hear about Mitchell.

Where is Rowley with the recent crime wave, how come we no longer hear from him

[Rory Phoulorie]

I have heard that two senior EFCL officials have been issued their marching orders today.

Good going PNM! Root out the corruption in that organisation.

[Allergic2BunnyEars]

[Rory Phoulorie]

I am surprised that all the bacchanal that went down at EFCL yesterday has not reached here yet. People get throw out of a conference room and the conference room get lock down. . . literally. Corporate secretary crying down the place. When the conference room was getting lock down, contracts manager come flying down the stairs for what no one except him really knows since what those people in the conference room were doing for the past month and change was known to none of the regular EFCL staff. Computers get seized by auditors.

Let us see how much cocoa in the sun Imbert has now. PNM better make good on their promises.

Kamla cancelled the OPVs because on one sea trial OPV the gun wasnt properly calibrated. She claimed OPV cannot do the job and that the war is on land and not on sea.

At the end of her term, they scrambled and mortgaged cheaper, smaller variants of OPVs (without guns) and not even announced a change of policy. First day at work and the ship wukking.


Now if we had this for the past 5 years, how different would our current crime situation have been?

Unemployment rate back to 3.2 percent
By Andre Bagoo Wednesday, November 18 2015

THE OVERALL unemployment rate has fallen to 3.2 percent, back to the record low which it had reached in the first quarter of 2014.

The latest Labour Force Bulletin – compiled by the Central Statistical Office – was yesterday released by the Ministry of Communications. It stated the overall unemployment rate for Trinidad and Tobago decreased from 3.6 percent in the first quarter 2015 to 3.2 percent for the second quarter 2015.

The survey data showed an increase of 5,800 or 0.9 percent in the number of persons with jobs, in the quarter under review. Broken down by industry, there was a net increase of 5,500 new construction jobs, and 3,800 new jobs in the “community, social and personal services” sector.

The CSO also stated that there was an increase of 5,500 jobs in the “Government public service/statutory” sector.

The total labour force – or the number of persons over 15-years old, able and willing to work regardless of whether employed or unemployed – rose by 3,100 to 649,100.

The unemployment rate is a proportion of the labour force which does not have work, while the labour force participation rate is the proportion of the population above 15-years old that can work. The overall Labour Force Participation Rate for Trinidad and Tobago increased to 61.0 percent in the second quarter of 2015.

These figures are based on a sample of the total population, and the bulletin gives an approximate margin of error of 9.5 percent in relation to the figures for the total unemployed

^^ That is second quarter. The UNC's argument about PNM initiated job cuts will not be statistically seen until 1Q 2016 I guess

[Redman]

I have no problem with paying increased taxes or rates, but I have a problem with this government taking ppl money and giving piss poor or lack or service and not forgetting lazy public servants.
Money paid have to equal services rendered.

Ny thoughts on the new hdc policy heard sum new stuff about the system

[Morpheus]

Shouldn't that be a standard for all governments? If you say yes then I totally agree with you

[zoom rader]

Ny thoughts on the new hdc policy heard sum new stuff about the system

its designed for PNM ppl only to acquire HCD houses. The odds for non ppm getting a fair chance have widen.

[Habit7]

Ny thoughts on the new hdc policy heard sum new stuff about the system

Good move. HDC is supposed to be for lower income to low middle income. If you are making $25,000+ find a TTMF. Save, buy land and build. PNM guilty of this too with Fidelis Heights. Time to set things straight.

[Morpheus]

Yeah HCD....


Aye allyuh where the gif with Kermit heating up the typewriter???
