i think next GE PNM will face an uphill battle regardless of who is the leader as it is clear more than ever that people fed up and seeing past the bs for what it is.

Yes, but again, a crass, uncalled for statement with no added value, from the MINISTER for Social Development just like JUHN Scarfy and he "Guyana and dem using inferiah vaccine, so dais why dem hah mo' dan we!" sheit.

imo, it was done to occupy media space, and the correct tactic was to ignore it. do the obligatory correction that plenty more people not working and plenty people are not well off. and that is that.
back to focusing on ngc billions missing.

Having faced a barrage of criticism for her “greedy people” comment, Social Development Minister Donna Cox says she remains on the side of the destitute and will continue to do her best to help them.
Cox had come under fire for saying “there are some people in need and some in greed,” in response to long lines for food outside South Park Plaza in San Fernando last Friday.
Among those condemning her were the Opposition United National Congress, political leader of the Movement for Social Justice David Abdulah and several other social media activists.
n an interview with CNC3 news producer Bavita Gopaulchan yesterday, Cox said her comment was misinterpreted.
“But if you read the context you would see of course there are people in need and we would like to help the people in need,” she said.
But she insisted there were people who were blocking genuinely destitute people from getting aid.
“We would like the person who is not in need to allow the person who is in need to access whatever is meant for them,” she said.
The minister said she was on the side of the needy.
“I want them to get and be able to access what is available to them. But the reality is there are those who come to access it and block those who really should be getting,” she added.
The ones accusing her of being out of touch with reality were politically-driven, Cox said, adding, “I am trying to figure out why they making an issue. I think everyone knows that in every situation there are those who are in need and others who may not be in need.”
Asked whether she was willing to apologise for her remark, Cox responded, “Everyone knows the type of person I am. I have been helping everyone. Social development is not about politics but it is about helping the vulnerable and these are the ones who I am interested in.”
She also said not everyone had the data she had access to, saying millions of dollars were given by people who double-dipped into the government’s income relief grants. She did not want to give details saying she did not want to discourage donors.
Police officers monitor the movement of people at a food drive organised by Help T&T at Jaggerssar’s Group of Companies compound in Penal yesterday.

The Minister also revealed that fewer people were applying for grants because of the stricter measures that were put in place to curb double-dipping.
“She noted that millions of dollars had been wasted on people who applied for multiple grants and she noted that these figures will be supplied.
“We have invited applicants and the deadline is July 8 but on the whole, the number of applicants is much less,” she said.
On Friday the Youth Arm of the UNC called on Cox to “not be greedy and to resign.”
MSJ’s David Abdulah also accused Cox, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and Finance Minister Colm Imbert of being out of touch with reality.
Abdulah called on the government to come up with $.5 billion for income support for those who are out of work as well as to support Small and Microenterprises. We need a major injection of resources to help people put food on the table,” he said.
Abdulah said if the government should make further withdrawals from the Heritage and Stabilisation Fund as people should not be going hungry.
“For Cox to say the situation is not as bad is an indication of the thinking of the PNM which is they are not concerned about hunger and desperation that exist among thousands of people.”
Over the past few months, farmers have been distributing tonnes of produce for free. Agricultural economist Omardath Maharaj has called on the government to utilise the public green spaces and to begin immediately to plant fruit trees like jackfruit, chatagne, breadfruit so that if families face starvation in the future, they can reap food freely from public spaces.
Mayaro farmer Roget Lobin has been donating over 4,000 pounds of melons while in Central Trinidad sweet potato farmers have been distributing tonnes of produce freely to the poor. Groceries have started community food banks where hungry families can go and pick up items for free.
Several contractors including Jaggerssar Group of Companies have also been donating to NGO’s.
Angie Ramnarine from the La Romaine Migrant Support group told CNC3 news that the situation has become so dire that migrant families were now trying to return to their homeland.

I know asking for proof of anything is a PNM tactic to distract from the hyperbole being spewed.

Had this been a non reg government making those claims, it would have been viewed as racist and dem doh like black people .CB Style wrote:Donna Roosters now back pedaling she weave flying in front she face.
