Government achievement thread (PNM EDITION 2015-2025)

[$h@dy]

This is where the money going

[desifemlove]

It people like Mr. Mahase or whatever he calls himself who crease me up. I presume he is anti-PNM, but then his PM (if he's UNC) didn't travel overseas a lot, or take time off, or go on holidays, ent? this country's political culture is screwed since both parties act the same, even if PNM isn't as openly corrupt as UNC was.

And i dunno if this counts as an achievement, but then free wifi at Citygate, or Sando High Street, or wherever.

More connectivity is a good thing, but then PNM has to show how it can improve business, which is really the point of a digital economy.

I hoped this PNM government would do something, or at least focus on areas that UNC neglected like diversification or crime, but then Dr. R's only excuse is "lowoilprice" and "no FOREX!" I really reckon PNM can lose, especially if UNC get back St. Joseph, Grande and PDP/Duke gets Tobago East. That alone nullifies PNM's majority. I have no confidence UNC/Kamz 2.0 would do any better.

They achieved not even starting back two schools in Penal. I remember 2 weeks after the election the country has no money, work stop, shame is that most of the work was completed but aye, we hadda play some cricket right?

But is it because they were lying about the country not having money or....only then they discover the extent of spending and corrruption that kamla and the pp were involved in

[Chimera]

On one hand they claim it have no money...but on the other hand...they spend a 100mil or sum to finish stadium ...

One hand they claim couva hospital empty....next hand they say they cant move the machinery because it would void warranty....and i know for a fact that couva hospital have real high end equipment stock up and not in usr

From central bank to maracas bay.... NO TOILET PAPER!!!!!!!

[tourniquet]

Saw they having a water problem at maracas and cuevas, you might not be allowed to make it that far to worry about the paper situation lol

[hydroep]

The irony. Didn't Dr. Rowley justify the guarantee of loan to protect a Toilet Paper raw material supplier to the tune of US$ 5 Million? They should be rolling in the stuff...

Govt to guarantee US$5m loan...to save 400 jobs *

Government will be moving to guarantee a loan of US$5 million to a private company—Grand Bay Ltd— in an effort to save the jobs of some 400 workers.

This was disclosed yesterday by Finance Minister Colm Imbert at a news conference at the Finance Ministry at the Eric Williams Financial Complex, Port of Spain.

Imbert said the Arima-based company which has a sister company—Trinidad Tissues Ltd—approached the ministry for assistance.

He said Grand Bay imports pulp from which it makes paper and it supplies products to its sister company, Trinidad Tissues, which manufactures toilet paper...

But wait, there's more...

Govt ‘bank rolls’ debt-ridden firm
THE STATE is now exposed to the tune of $340.2 million in relation to its decision to guarantee a loan by the Export Import (Exim) Bank of Trinidad and Tobago to an entity referred to as Grand Bay Limited, the ownership of which has been hidden from public view via offshore arrangements...

...“In the event there is a default, there are standard practices to be followed,” the Prime Minister said.

He said the Government’s decision in intervening in this case came in the current climate of job losses.

“The Government supports Exim Bank and a case being made to support the company to continue producing so as to save 400 jobs,” Rowley said.

Asked if this was new policy, Rowley said, “I expect that the bank will deal with this on a case-by-case basis. It is not every day that we are faced with a job loss of 400 jobs.” There is no record of a company called “Grand Bay Limited” in the Companies Registry...

[matr1x]

Well Rowley and he crew using the toilet paper to wipe their mouth. Right usage.

[drchaos]

ok 123 billion TT dollars.

What does it mean though? how will it affect us? won't we just get loans from the IMF etc?

Imbert said the economy is good and we are far better off than countries who are currently borrowing money from the IMF.
