And so they should.

All this time, those contracts should be cancelled.

The courts should have always been held in jails.

Cheaper for court officials to go the jails. Just give them traveling allowances so they can eat a food too.

still have to divide by number of courts, which is 13 magistrate courts plus 2 high court and it have some other special courts. Also sometime trips are shared depending on prisoner load, ex: one bus may carry prisoners to siparia magistrate court and go down point after to drop some more other times siparia alone can fill a bus.

The Prisons Services have green branded 24 seater buses from since I small. Why not use those? If the excuse is, they too old and outdated then buy new ones!

Amalgamated has this contract for how long? Over a decade? That's approx $1B dollars folks. Nothing to show for it. That money could build another airport without any corruption.

If procurement and funds is the problem then make those soldiers in the regiment work instead of washing car, working out and playing football during the day. The TTR has 24 seater buses in their arsenal. Let them drive prisoners for crying out loud.

People dying, suffering, hungry and PNM grass roots supporters really need jobs, food and education. You know how much a billion dollars could do for them? Which will actually cause these people to turn away from crime and actually be productive which is the goal right?

The trini Economist who lectures at a UK university mentioned last night on CNC3 that the govt for 4.5 yrs focusing on the "economic elite" instead of the populace. And mr man is not looking like a UNC supporter to me. Wake up people.

You call them pest. I see it as simply good business. Once again the one percenters continue to benefit from the intellectual defeciencies of the Indians and Africans. While Indo and Afro focus on race , the 1% smiling all the way.

That's typical politics in Trinidad. The first 3 1/2 - 4 years focusing and benefiting party financiers while the remaining year is mamaguy and distributing crumbs all the way to election day. Rinse and repeat.

Agreed. People can argue on morals and ethics which is fine, but they simply took advantages of the opportunities and gained more power. Even when we do recognize what they are doing, we just talk about it and don't do anything. Massa chicken closed temporarily and we were in a frenzy. 1% have the majority by the balls.

I have been something.

I keep telling you all don't support these people or buy or do any bussiness with them.

These scum are fueled by the 99%.

Then there are those that want to argue that they provide employment, their pay and working conditions are nearly slavery.

Those that support these arguments are the ones with PNM contracts and gain from PNM.

Stop giving these scum your money, support local folk. Local folk keep our money in TT. These scum export the money in US abroad. When the bubble burst they fly out but you are I are left here with nothing.

You are one dunce biased clown. When Kamla was there she was sucking up to these very same people so what sh*t ya talking. You know how much UNC ppl always trying to gain favours with that community. Don't talk what you don't know.

Plus when Kamla was there all the contracts went to SIS. Where the SIS money gone? Billion dollar waste water treatment plant with nothing to show for it. Where the money ya dunce? Kamla had sooo much opportunity to fundamentally change this country. She had a constitutional majority ffs and she squandered it. Failure of a woman.

Trinidad's problem is not the 1%. Trinidad's problem is the parasitic oligarchies that benefit from our weak political system. Trinis too mentally weak and insecure. Everybody wanna boycott but everyone want to drink that cat piss of a beer when is time for cricket.
