I keep saying that this is beyond political party in this country.
The real masters of this banana republic are using race and politics to divide, while building their own portfolio of assets.
While the regular citizen has property tax to deal with, watch who doesn't
While the regular citizen has a whole host of taxes, stamp duties etc, watch who doesn't.

Afro-communities must demand national priority
I take note of the statement made by Mr Nizam Mohammed in yesterday’s Express newspaper, urging all Muslims to vote for the party that will facilitate the repatriation of Muslims from refugee camps in Syria.
My recent experiences in Washington DC with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) has solidified a crucial truth, “You do not get what you deserve; you get what you negotiate and fight for.” Mr Mohammed’s dedication to achieving what he believes is vital for his community is commendable.
I have consistently highlighted the challenges faced by the community of African descent. This is not merely a matter of race; when one group comprises 35% of the population, the entire nation’s productivity hinges to some extent on their performance.
While there are certainly individuals within the AfroTrinidadian community who are thriving, as a collective, the group has not progressed significantly since Independence. In fact, many argue that the African-descended community has regressed in comparison to others.
The evidence is clear: constituencies predominantly composed of African-descended residents experience the highest unemployment rates and suffer from inadequate infrastructure.
This is further illustrated by the alarming statistics regarding educational outcomes, such as SEA scores below 30% and low CXC pass rates among children of African descent. The underperformance of primary and secondary schools in these districts is evident, as is the minimal representation of Africans in business.
To tackle our persistent crime problem, we must first confront the underlying issues affecting employment and education in African-descended communities. Crime is the symptom of a bigger problem. We therefore need to start putting resources in place to deal with the problem rather than the symptoms.
I am not sure that the country is aware that in some schools along the East-West Corridor, children may not see a parent until 8 p.m. after leaving school at 3 p.m. Many students in these areas are unable to afford the essential evaluation tests necessary for appropriate special education, leaving them without the support they need to thrive.
The African-descended community, with its strong population base of around 500,000, must take a page from Mr Mohammed’s book and leverage their numbers to demand change.
There is a well-known saying, “The height of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.” It’s time for members of the African-descended community, particularly its leaders, to insist that all political parties—in addition to providing solutions for national issues such as diversification, foreign exchange shortages, public sector reform, etc—should also present a clear agenda for those of African descent.
This agenda is vital for addressing the critical issues related to crime that we frequently discuss. We cannot solve the crime crisis with superficial solutions or by resorting to violence.
With just one week until election day, I’m calling on the leaders of political parties to articulate their plans for improving conditions in communities of predominantly African descent and to address the issues that disproportionately affect this group as a national priority.
The black electorate must recognise their own value and understand that their vote is worth more than a mere $300, a jersey, or a food basket. What is needed are serious solutions to the challenges facing the community, and an equitable distribution of income and services. It’s crucial to examine how other communities are succeeding and to learn from their strategies and approaches.

Honorable he can very well do that.....that's the fate of NIB and port workers who signed for 9 percent and 12 percent respectively since 2020. PNM will simply send it before the industrial court to drag on for years with no remorse.
