In the early 90's the economic situation wasn't all that great both for us or the world but we spotted the trend and position ourselves. The Mitsubishi plant is still in line with old plan and is the one out of others that didn't pulled out.

We have spent our largest budgets ever on credit earned over the last 15 years so money is not tight with us. Where is the future innovation, if not, we will be left behind the curve.

After Years of PNM abuse we never made it to the front so how can we be left behind when we are behind.

T&T was the number one supplier in ammonia and methanol and the largest supplier of LNG to the US. That wasn't by mistake, that was by innovative policy making with an eye to the future while spotting the trends.

In your small mind and short vision you might say "we never made it to the front" but for those of us who use facts, know that we are quickly losing the advantage we once had in these areas and know that we have to adjust or be left behind.

Im part of the neither crew, mps from both sides of the fence have proven to be useless. Only the Brazil/Talparo/Las Lomas section has seen any activity. There is still a myriad of transport woes in the La Horquetta area made even worse by the the 'no short drop' for those who utilize maxi taxis and on afternoons into evening those travelling from Arima to home as the traffic on Tumpuna rd is an excuse for cars to go short. Even the Tumpuna rd south is problematic with epic traffic all day long. There are also several roads that need paving. Bring solutions to those problems and you might get my vote, dont try to mamaguy me with box drains.

erm...what did PNM do? ent you'z a PNM?

i know dat area good....PNM was in council in Arima for years, and only paved Tumpuna road in election time to mamaguy.... shouldn't PNMs accept part of we mess is from them?

You know Zero about the facts.
Yes T&T was the number one supplier in ammonia and methanol, but these companies were all part privately
run without PNM interference and corruption.
If PNM had total control of the then Fedchem , Fertrin and MHTL they would have ended up like ISCOTT. I know I was there I worked with all these companies in the past.
Iscott failed moslty because it was a dumping ground for PNM party supporters that wanted a wuk. Most that was employed there from the inception were dunces and had no workskills in a technical field. The management in Iscott was piss poor under Dr Kenneth Julien.

For us to move forward is to never let a goverment run a company or get involved with business. Goverments need to run a country before they can run a business.

I am not advocating for any government to run a company, I am for small government.

What I am referencing is policy making. It is policy that made the first step in any local private entity's success. We need innovative policy for the future. Not your anti-PNM anecdotes.

T&T municipality levied upon over debt, vehicles seized
OCTOBER 25, 2014 · BY STABROEK EDITOR · 0 COMMENTS 3 hours ago

(Trinidad Express) As People’s National Movement political leader Keith Rowley celebrated his 64th birthday yesterday, the PNM-held Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation was levie­d upon for failure to pay a debt amounting to about TT$2 million.

Corporation chairman Edwin Gooding told the Express the first time the council knew about the debt was yesterday mor­ning, when the bailiffs moved in to seize vehicles.

Gooding said the debt predated the current administration, which came into office in October 2013 after the local government elections.

He said the management of the corporation knew about it, but the council was never advised of this development.

“Once we came into office, we should have been apprised of the situation, but this particular matter was never brought to our attention,” Gooding said.

He said the debt, which originated in 2009, was owed to a scavenging contractor BK Holdings. Gooding said the contractor had got a judgment against the corporatio­n.

“Once that kicks in, the corporation has to respond or else the plaintiff can seize assets,” he noted.

He said about six vehicles—five SUVs and a pick-up—were seized.

Former chairman of the corporation Khadijah Ameen said the levying upon the corporation was “unfortunate”.

She said she understood the contractor brought legal action in March and no one appeared in court to seek the corporation’s interest.

Ameen said the debt did not occur during her tenure, and that during her stint as chairman she was not aware of any legal claims made by that contractor.

“It is a lack of vigilance on the part of the chairman,” she said.

Ameen added once the corporation received legal notification, it would have been required to either challenge the contractor’s claim or to make arrangements to settle the debt.

She stated further she understood the Ministry of Local Government approved the funding to pay the debt, “so it is not that the corporation does not have the money to pay”.

Ameen said services to the burgesses would be affected.

She said the vehicles seized were acquired during her tenure, with the aim of beefing up the disaster-response capacity of the corporation.

“The corporation has to be more vigilant about defending its assets,” she stated, adding she remained concerned.

Attempts to get Gooding to respond to these claims were unsuccessful, as he was participating in a fund-raising boat cruise, organised by the friends of Diego Martin West, and which Rowley also attended.

However, he had stressed earlier the corporate secretary had brought nothing to his attention with respect to the claims made by the contractor against the counci­l.

The Express contacted PNM general secretary Ashton Ford, who reiterated Gooding was not informed about the issue.

Ford said it was on record the council has been experiencing problems with the corporation CEO, who was appointed during Ameen’s chairmanship.

He said the council has accused the CEO of taking decisions without consultation.

Suggesting there was political motivation behind the withholding of information to the council about the $2 million debt and the legal claims arising, Ford reiterated the council was totally surprised by the levy action yesterday morning.

The PNM held the Tunapuna/Piarco Regional Corporation in 2009, but in 2010, the People’s Partnership took control following the June 2010 local government elections.

In October 2013, the PNM regained control of the corporation.

So Khadijah sat down there for three years and didn't pay the ppl even when her boss try to end the contract and give it to her friends who didn't even have one garbage truck.

PNM promises Constitutional reform

Gail Alexander
Published:
Monday, October 27, 2014


Constitutional reform will be on the cards if a PNM government implements the one man-one vote system at national level “as we must,” Opposition Leader Dr Keith Rowley signalled yesterday. Rowley hinted at this during yesterday’s People’s National Movement (PNM) delegate convention at the Hyatt Regency, Port-of-Spain. At the meeting delegates fine-tuned the Manning Vision 2020 plan for PNM’s Vision 2030 package. Decisions from discussions will form the basis of PNM’s 2015 manifesto.

The opposition party’s policy may be ready in two weeks. Rowley said Vision 2030 will focus on “the road ahead” since PNM will not look back after it is elected to government. He said the next PNM government will make fundamental changes to delivery. He said people liked the one-man one-vote system the PNM used in its May internal election and if the party has to do it at national level “as we must”—since some adjustment were needed—constitutional reform might be involved.

Saying revenue collection is very important, Rowley reiterated PNM’s Revenue Authority plan and expressed concern about mass transportation problems. He also reiterated plans to abolish the Local Government Ministry giving more responsibility to local government bodies and to focus more on primary schools and rolling back crime. Rowley said “pretenders” weren’t giving the truth and the real story on crime is more than the figures “out there.” “The criminal element has too much room to manoeuvre,” he said.

Noting that the Eric Williams’ PNM involved what he said were captains of industry, the professional class, barefoot people, others from St Patrick, Caroni and other areas, Rowley said today’s PNM, adding youths and experienced people, was getting close to its “original moorings as it was in 1956.” He said a vision wouldn’t always go to plan, but when things went wrong, one addressed it, built and stayed the course. He said the PNM hadn’t been the perfect opposition but was vibrant. Rowley said some had felt the PP would last one or two years only, but it seemed likely to last five years. He said no other party has done what PNM did with yesterday’s delegate planning deliberations. PNM chairman Franklin Khan asked delegates to take into consideration T&T attitudes on issues including dependency, lack of self reliance, productivity, space and environmental protection.

murder rate was increasing under the PNM from a low UNC figure!!! PP has to deal with the seeds that were sown under the PNM hotel meetings with "community leaders", coup "involvement", "MR BIG", etc.

corruption ratings are subjective and give a false representation as mentioned to you in the past with documentary evidence from the organization itself....but PNM survives on Propaganda so they will sing this song to the blind who willing to listen!

What growth you expect when trying to recover from an international recession?

you asking me, your guess as good as mine!

but I would assume it is to take the country forward through improvements in infrastructure - (highways, decentralization), information technology, water, housing, education, health services, reducing bureaucracy, making the public service efficient, etc. I dont think they have a measure of building 1000 schools in a vision they attacking it in a holistic approach.

They are addressing the REAL issues the PNM refused to address!

Honestly in 4 years we have seen much improvement and forward movement in our country rather than the 50 years of PNM rule which we were not "doomed"





just thought I should included this here...most applicable...considering the number of SOE detainees being found in Syria fighting for ISIS or being detained in Venezuela heading to Syria!!!

so the BIG QUESTION is do you now believe the PP government for having the SOE...or you still believe PNM propaganda of oppression to black ppl?!!!

BTW the price of oil just dropped below $80 a barrel



PP pegged the budget at $80



Borrowing money to build box drains and paved road can only go so far, a real government can make money for the future...just so UNC can squander it again.

Panday laughs at your stupidity.
Btw did u get yout test for chickV done. As i said Health centres are opened EVERYDAY.
If dats squandering den squander away.

[Habit7]

Thanks for your concern, Chik V test at public lab could wait up to 6 weeks to get the results, unless somebody inside gets it expedited. I went by a private doctor and got some panadene prescription but paw paw leaves have me feeling much better though.


BTW Panday was smart enough to continue PNM's energy plan along with ammonia and methanol. PNM came back and reaped the fruits of their labour.

If u dont no what the the min of health has implemented u should end your acct so u wud not be responsible for sounding like a uneducated stat. Re to waitin up to 6wks for the report.
To further add to the continous spurious asnine asupmtions u frequently make tell u how long did oil stay under $80per barrel.
I dont think 95.5 said the new prices so far, so u might need to use yuh internet some more.

I'm seeing oil prices falling steeply, now below $90. Our budget was pegged at $80.

I hope the slide stops, for our good.

viewtopic.php?f=4&p=8302359#p8302359

Today it dipped below $80

And Goldman Sachs (probably PNM sycophants) predicts that it will dip to $70 by April-June 2015

Like it or not, adjustments will have to be made.

Didn't Larry Howai say as much? Budgeting at any oil price is always "counting egg in fowl belly" Adjustments obviously will have to be made if the price remains sub-eighty for any extended period of time.

Well tell that to men who think today's dip below $80 is some kinda of fluke.

This is significant with our large deficit budget.

I hope we still can afford our "your government working for you" campaign. I'm just about to put up an electronic billboard on the highway.

Drop in the bucket. Other major infrastructural projects will get shelved first. This will NOT include the Point highway.
