Here’s a summary of the Top 25 initiatives from the PNM 2025–2030 manifesto:

1. Transform the Public Service with Digital Access and Decentralisation
This initiative modernises how citizens interact with the government by digitising services, reducing bureaucracy, and decentralising access. Regional hubs and digital platforms will make services faster, more transparent, and people-focused.

2. Pension Pledge - Automate Pension Processing and Benefits
A bold move to eliminate delays and stress for retirees. The system will auto-enrol eligible citizens and streamline pension payouts using integrated national databases—ensuring dignity and timely support for senior citizens.

3. Comprehensive Education Reform for a Future-Ready Workforce
The education system will be aligned with national development goals and industry needs. Digital literacy, financial education, civic values, and entrepreneurship will be embedded, preparing students to thrive in a fast-changing world.

4. Green Jobs and Skilled Energy Workforce
This aims to prepare citizens for jobs in the clean energy transition. Investments in training, upskilling, and green innovation hubs will open new employment pathways in solar, hydrogen, sustainable construction, and beyond.

5. Expand Renewable Energy and Green Innovation
Large-scale projects in solar, wind, and hydrogen will reduce national energy costs and emissions. Community-based energy and private-sector investment will be encouraged through incentives and partnerships.

6. Establish National Local Content and Participation Policy
A nationwide local content policy ensures public spending benefits citizens. It prioritises local businesses and labour in state contracts, encouraging national pride, economic inclusion, and SME growth.

7. Advance Agricultural Innovation and Food Sovereignty
This initiative increases local food production through agri-tech, climate-resilient farming, and local consumption strategies. Key to reducing imports, lowering food prices, and building resilience.

8. Support SMEs and Expand Export Capacity
Strengthens small business ecosystems with funding, digital tools, and streamlined trade processes. This drives innovation, job creation, and foreign exchange generation from local industries.

9. Strategic Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Pathways
Provides structured pathways from education to employment through internships, apprenticeships, and business incubators. Tailored to empower youth in key growth sectors like tech, tourism, and energy.

10. National Digital Skills and Entrepreneurship Programme
Equips young citizens with essential digital and business skills to participate in the modern economy, enabling them to launch ventures or pursue careers in digital services and innovation.

11. National Infrastructure Modernisation and Port Development
Modernises strategic transport and logistics infrastructure across the country, boosting trade, tourism, and connectivity. Includes port redevelopment, cruise terminals, and agro-export hubs.

12. Safe Education Zones and Community Policing
Establishes protected zones around schools and invests in community policing. Designed to reduce youth exposure to crime, increase safety, and foster trust between citizens and law enforcement.

13. Reform Food and Disability Grant Systems
Overhauls social support to reduce red tape, remove disincentives for progress, and improve dignity in service. Includes digital verification, gradual exit paths, and increased access.

14. Affordable Housing for Young Citizens
Launches housing programmes including land grants, site-ready lots, and first-time homeowner incentives. Supports wealth creation and social stability for younger generations.

15. Expand Access to Mental Health and Wellness Support
Mainstreams psychosocial support across schools and communities with early screening, counselling, and resilience-building programs for youth and families.

16. Create Green Marine Economy and Ports
Promotes sustainable maritime development through eco-ports, LNG bunkering, and low-carbon marine logistics. Supports economic diversification and regional competitiveness.

17. Digital Innovation Park and National ICT Strategy
Establishes a national tech hub with start-up incubators and cloud services, positioning Trinidad and Tobago as a regional ICT leader. Includes cybersecurity and BPO job creation.

18. Public Performance Dashboards and Accountability Reporting
Introduces mandatory reporting by ministries on service benchmarks. Promotes transparency, citizen engagement, and a culture of results-based governance.

19. Youth Vocational and Technical Training Programmes
Expands earn-while-you-learn models and modern trade schools aligned with national workforce needs. Offers certifications and skills for meaningful employment.

20. Expand Education and Youth Development in Tobago
Tailors national youth development strategies to Tobago with vocational training, internships, and support for cultural and economic development unique to the island.

21. Maintenance-First Strategy for Public Infrastructure
Switches from build-and-neglect to a strategy focused on maintaining and upgrading existing public assets. Reduces long-term costs and improves public spaces.

22. Advanced Technology for Crime Prevention and Response
Leverages AI-driven surveillance, forensic technology, and digital case management to increase law enforcement responsiveness and effectiveness.

23. Comprehensive Legislative Reforms for Law Enforcement Accountability
Introduces laws that enhance protections for officers and the public, strengthen oversight, and increase penalties for misconduct, rebuilding public trust.

24. Tobago-Specific Skills Training and Economic Infrastructure
Invests in training for Tobago’s key sectors—tourism, marina services, and agro-processing—while developing infrastructure that supports its economic autonomy.

25. Public-Private Partnerships for Energy Innovation and Exports

I went through the list of choices for all constituencies - very interesting:

1. Tobago West has the most number of candidates from which to choose - NINE!

2. My constituency - a marginal - has FIVE.

3. Twenty two (22) constituencies have THREE choices: The 2 usual suspects and the Patriotic Front.

4. Diego Martin North/East has SIX candidates. Somebody vote out Imbert nah.
Your constituency is mine...St Joseph?


Yup. I thought you knew that long time now. :D :D :D

Shakes: It is already bad enough that we waste f/x importing new cars, especially those politicians and their luxe cars.

But importing classic cars will cost waste much more $US.

Minister Imbert is right.

Releases have been going out and the unions are creating problems.

I hope you all remember the 2010 disaster.

Make the smart choice on April 28th.

The PSA doesn't pay us, the government does so we would not be fooled, at least most of us. This is the kind of thing/statements that would only fool the braindead PNM supporter

User hover11, the PSA is responsible for distributing the backpay to public servants.

If the PSA is not doing the necessary paperwork, public servants will not get their backpay.

It is easy for the yellow party to fool and sell dreams to the gullible.

They had 10 years and did nothing,

All that they propose is garbage as may 1 or 2 items may be done, and those involve contracts to family and friends to PNM.

Ask Elite


That's the thing, you reading their manifesto but in the back of you mind you keep asking what they were doing for the past decade. Most of those promises could have been done long before.
Each one of those items could have been done in 5 years


They had 10 years but nothing to show.

When the agv person thinks of PNM is the closing down of the Refinery to buy Jamaica oil.

How stupid can this country be

It's obvious that u don't understand the issues, and I'm too tired to explain common sense to ah big man.

So there is my if yuh dotish tak dis....

Except for the piss poor 2% per period for 2 periods, while the SRC got approx. 30%. COLA was not incorporated into the last salary before the 2% PER PERIOD WAS APPLIED. as such the PSA's conscientious point of view is that this too is wrong.

DO NOT COMPLAIN IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO VOTE.


I went through the list of choices for all constituencies - very interesting:

1. Tobago West has the most number of candidates from which to choose - NINE!

2. My constituency - a marginal - has FIVE.

3. Twenty two (22) constituencies have THREE choices: The 2 usual suspects and the Patriotic Front.

4. Diego Martin North/East has SIX candidates. Somebody vote out Imbert nah.
Your constituency is mine...St Joseph?


Yup. I thought you knew that long time now. :D :D :D
Ha..just making sure bro!

If is one thing I have noticed is that Stuarty realized that the swing vote has always been the Muslim vote. Hence the bet set of public sucking up to the Muslim populace. Some of them are falling for it, and we all know that Muslims in T&T are a very close knit almost tribal group.

PNM really ain't want to win this election. From the selection of Stuart Young, to the nonsensical blabbering on the platform. They don't even have the usual catchy campaign song.
