Wayne Kublalsingh Hunger Strike...

[Habit7]

Mr Kublalsingh as I understand it ...has now stated he will continue his journey to the doors of death 'to have the gov't exercise good goverance and transparency' in their dealings.
This man just keep shifting the goal post everyday.
This thread now has the opportunity to go into all kinds of directions which is not inconsistent with the behaviour of the protestor.

Its clear that he has lost wide spread support, all he receives now is pity for himself and not for his cause. Everyday this lengthens he stirs the ire of the larger public, but still has raised some unanswered questions that some other cause needs to support him on, like the reason for increase from 5.4 billion to 7.2 billion.

from 2006 newsday:

"Joint Consultative Council (JCC) for the Construction Industry President Winston Riley said yesterday that the potential for corruption in the Trinidad Rapid Rail Project (TRRP) is greater than that of corruption in the construction of the Piarco International Airport.....Francois said that several times the group has requested from the government transparency on the TRRP but to no avail. As their concerns have not been addressed by Government, he said, the group had no choice but to turn to the media."

a wait and see situation wrt this highway oui. but i bet a better case can be made for the highway

If this gubment say "jump" the media does reply "how high".

PNM used to get their blows and take it, since PP in power I donno why I have a suspicion that someone screening what is printed from what isnt.

He wanted a review,the government agrees and he is still protesting.The jcc did in three days without a hunger strike,what he could not do.Everyone said there was no study done, no cost/benefit analysis and hydrology report,now they are seeing the comprehensive report that was done,they are changing the parameters again.I believe that nothing that the PP does can satisfy the PNM and their sheep and nothing that the PNM did in the past was a problem for said sheep.What Israel Khan said was correct,go and read it.I am seeing an element of racial intolerance here,because it is Penal,Debe Siparia and Fyzabad that is benefiting there is this outcry.Rowley said it again on a morning show monday,"why all the development going to these constituencies?"If you want to be truthful ,the E/W corridor has gotten more than it's fair share for years,(besides the finite expenditures,count Cepep,URP,socal programmes,and money budgeted for crime as a result of their behavior). When it was going all one way before it was no problem.Rowley admitted that it was a PNM project with PNM giving the project for tender PP only implementing it.So what is the problem?At least Afra Raymond said he was satisfied with the talks and the agreement,so what is Kublalsingh's problem now?The latest is Paula Scoon saying they going to protest for a hospital in point,she was there( and the PNM )all this time,why didn't they do it then ?One more thing,any body who is afraid Kublalsingh dies,have to be real naive to believe he is not eating or drinking or that he is going to die,do some research into that(if you really believe)and see for yourself.If you think it is not relevant whether he is on a strict hunger and the real issue is the principle,well,you answer yourself in your heart if he's being sincere in his quest,and ask yourself what defense you would have come up with if it was the PNM he was protesting against.

Oh Moonilal, the guy who once was against the Debe to Mon Desir section.

Monilall, the guy who stages most of the protests/interviews in his constituency. Yea that guy.

Same one who lead his own hunger strike in UWI.

Yep, same one who gave a citizen a government vehicle to go round up protesters against arwadi (counsellor) down sumai (sp) trace two Sundays back.

bring facts!

jcc seems to be very critical of certain iconic projects. imagine how many people still actually want TRRP. and how many ppl benefit daily from airport proj.

are trini newspapers capable of disclosing info on orgs (eg by whom are they paid) that supposedly are more trustworthy than the govt of the day?

[rspann]

When someone says something you agree with, its sensible discussion.When someone says something you disagree with ,its froth.Is your nameRowley,Hinds,or Kublalsingh.I'm sure you believe he hasn't eaten or drank any thing for 19 days,that's always your level of analysis.

The main issues with these projects are value for money, transparency and efficiency in delivering works. Due to archaic procurement legislation there is little oversight and well we know how it goes from there. Airport, tarouba stadium etc

Afaik point one was agrees to by nidco, point two is a given and according to carson charles has been done already, point three im not too sure what he talking about. Is it the tor for the project itself or for the eia?

[Habit7]

Groups like the JCC will always cry corruption, especially today when it is such a great talking point. The same goes for political parties.

Where in the world major projects dont have a risk of corruption? Even in T&T where there is one degree of separation throughout the entire population.

Knowing the limitations of the central tenders board and the kind of authority given to entities like nidco, i dont blame the jcc for being skeptical. PP government started to look at proposals for legislative changes based on the white paper done in 2005-2006. Not sure of the status now

well why did you not ask maning to give you that info

[nemisis]

^^^ that is the thinking that moves the country further into the gutter, bad was done so let it continue to happen.

people fail to realize that the last government was voted out because they were allowed to do what they wanted unopposed for too long. So supporters of new politics came out to demand such hence the pp being where they are.
Can't be vex if fari demanding answers for questions it's opposition duty to keep admin on their toes( who cares if he has an ulterior motive)

Party politics for the loss.

Its sad that of those who support this project, including myself, that the UNC supporters see anyone who has a critical word about this project as "an East West Corridor PNM that just want to bring down our gov't and the PM we love!"

[Sky]

well why did you not ask maning to give you that info

He didn't provide it so I voted him out.
Apparently we voted for the same behaviour again.
I honestly can't think of something bad enough to describe you. Congrats on tying your shoelace this morning though.

Well said. This will surely fly over many heads

Sky call the man Corky in smart oui

[toyolink]

I took a few minutes to contemplate Mr Kublalsingh's mental state and understand that an individual in his present condition can find himself in a state where his reasoning ability is so impaired that suicide for a cause appears attractive.
Actually the demands being made have become so 'huge' that the possibility of these being met go to the heart of the values and attitudes of our national community and require a transformation of our culture and even changes in our constitution and judicial systems.
No one can find fault with his now lofy pronouncements but the ultimatum placed at the feet of all of us is truly unacceptable.
If this man dies the whole country would be branded as his executioners.
Personaly,the time has come for action to protect this 'too bright' individual from himself and this act of self murder dealt with as a civilised society should.
....Interlectual overload can easily push one to madness!

Actually.... If you look at the jcc board you would find the background of some of the members answers your questions, search amounst the ex-journalists.

ayeeee page fiddy ..

*warming up engine to jive on new highway*

[bluestarz9]

hes not going to force the hand of a Prime Minister by this action, its sad that he will die if he chooses to continue and his followers continues to support his present action.

[pyromaniax]

not sure if repost

[pyung99]

independent review sounding more like a "make work" exercise to me.

especially with a 2month deadline, sounds like eat a food! but who is doing the feeding?!

why can't we simply implement projects fellow trinis?
