Corruption or fraud is the biggest crime against the population as it takes from the mouths of the poor and enriches the rich.

God determines who will be born and when. He is the creator. The mother is just rhe incubator. He knows every hair on our head. Let us celebrate the birth and give kudos to the doctors and nurses who facilitated the success of this miracle.

Trinidad will go down a socialist track. Visit Cuba eg and see how happy we Trinis are. We love our freedoms particularly freedom of speech.

It should be based on their competence and experience in the particular field. You cannot put square pegs in round holes eg Caribbean Airlines -check the number of mishaps since we appointed that Chairman.

The money is from the same source ie taxpayers funds. It is unfair both sides of the coin. The main purpose of Government is helping those who are lease able to help themselves.Every country has poor citizens who are assisted by the State,even the mighty USA.

The delegate system re selection of the hierarchy is outdated. It still does not mean that a maximum leader still cannot emerge.It is still useful wrt bringing forward the views of the constituents at party group level.Please keep the campaign clean. Previous political parties went that way before and the competition turned nasty..

Be objective! We are all T&T citizens and we pay taxes.

What is so wrong with that? If we take off our political blinkers we will see the value of his suggestions. We will pay a high environmental, financial and monetary price for for not heeding this advice.

I marched once I support a cause. It does not matter if I voted for a particular political party, I put Trinidad & Tobago first. I want to leave a good legacy for my children and grandchildren. I am a retired public servant who served my country well and worked tirelessly and long hours beyond the call of duty so I am entitled to speak with my feet and mouth. ONWARD TO THE MARCH FOR DEMOCRACY.

Tracking personal staffing records etc.and compiling them for retirement is a serious issue (not to mention the cost of the changes to the Consolidated Fund).

He makes mistakes at times but he is human. Lets look at the bigger picture, he is also exposing criminals and drug runners . Some elements in T&T are unhappy about that.I support his style and agree with most of his live sessions.

What we need is quick justice to facilitate implementation of the death penalty as well as elimination of the preliminary hearings ie go straight to the High Court.

Our main source of revenue is oil and gas and you cannot work in a billion dollar industry and be paid peanuts. The energy industry requires special skills and long manhours away from family etc eg offshore workers. The cap should be reviewed or T&T would lose more than we can tolerate. This strike,if extended, could plunge our country into an abyss financially that would be difficult in the longrun.

If Mr.AG had agreed to extradite instead, I wonder what the PP apologists would have said? They would have been singing the AG's praises. SICK! SICK! SICK!
