Just like a man who talks about venes being good, you clearly have no idea what you are talking about.


Just because your mudda takes several men and tells you they are the same man, doesn't mean all those accounts belong to the same person

Easy there Slim.

Enjoy the Herbal Life na.

[Wraith King]

how someone who new on the forum know that Max have multiple accounts? Does wraith have a different older account?

Exactly, this newbie too green to understand anything.

The Wraith King, sam1978 and matr1x are all the same accounts.

Anyways, have fun guys.

You got to make up your mind, either I'm a noob or I have multiple accounts from a while aback.

As well, you gotta find some other avenue to take out your frustration regarding your impotency instead of making false accusations of things you are guilty of.

Perhaps your brain is impotent as well.

Saw you added an imaginary BMW to your MaxPower online persona. Hope you treat your other personas to something as well.

Then get your facts in order. Don't be a halfwit

Agreed, too many buzzwords and flavour of the month initiatives, when important stuff like this is concerned. Let's hope Mr. Bacchus is given adequate resources to make it happen and not lip service because it isn't a high profile ministry.

MP Rudranath Indarsingh arriving for parliament. - Photo by Sureash Cholai
COUVA South MP Rudranath Indarsingh claimed the creation of a new Ministry of Digital Transformation separate from the Ministry of Public Administration was done simply to create a "make-work" ministerial portfolio for new minister Hassel Bacchus.

The two ministries/portfolios were previously joined in a ministry headed by Allyson West until split by the Prime Minister on Monday, hiving off the digital portfolio to Bacchus.


Pure Folly and Jobs for the Boys

I

ndarsingh said he was perplexed, in a statement on Tuesday.

"This high-level shift comes a year after the creation of the Ministry of Public Administration and Digital Transformation, and makes absolutely no sense at this time."

He said the nation was yet to understand the need for a Ministry of Digital Transformation, far less see any delivery from that portfolio since created a year ago.

"How did the Ministry of Public Administration and Digital Transformation assist in the conduct of online classes during the covid19 crisis?

"How did the ministry assist in creating new avenues for the digital payment for state goods and services given the need for reduced physical movement during covid19?" the MP asked. "How did the Ministry of Public Administration and Digital Transformation partner with small and medium businesses to boost their capacity to conduct business online given the challenges faced in the pandemic?"

Asking what was the justification and the mandate of the new ministry, Indarsingh said if West and Bacchus could not have run a composite ministry together, how could they now each separately run a whole ministry.

"True to his style of wastage and ‘job for the boys’, the Prime Minister is now increasing the size and wage bill of his Cabinet at a time when public expenditure ought to be prudent and guided by the prevailing hardships being faced by workers across the nation.

"The Prime Minister is making this Cabinet the latest ‘make-work ’programme, while the working-class citizens themselves are out of work."

With thousands on the breadline, Dr Rowley has appointed another minister who will cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars, Indarsingh complained.

He said the PM's reshuffle instead ought to have shuffled out Finance Minister Colm Imbert for his catastrophic mishandling of the economy; Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh for his "banana republic" handling of the covid19 crisis; Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi for leading the State in losing a landmark number of cases; Energy Minister Stuart Young for $2.1 billion in losses at the National Gas Company; and Labour Minister Stephen Mc Clashie for failing to protect displaced workers.

"The only digital transformation this country needs today is to instantly ‘block and delete’ this PNM administration, who continues to ‘LOL’ in the faces of displaced, tormented citizens of this country, who can say nothing more than ‘OMG.’

"For the unjustified, expensive creation of yet another ministry, and the unprecedented hiring of another unproven minister at this time, Prime Minister Keith Rowley and his entire Government have ‘GTG’ (got to go).

It's good we've partnered with them, but many of our manual/paper/ancient processes need complete rehauling. Quite a Herculean task

I would fluff with the journey of a 1000 mile blah blah blah but we great at taking first steps and then folding.
Estonia flicked their switch in 1994.

That said we have a significant amount of the services that are available and today the technology is in everyones hands with very high ICT penetration.

While I know the AG is not popular there has been a drive to modernise various pieces of Legislation to enable different aspects of the e economy/egovt to take hold.

The Platinum lining of Covid 19 is that we were forced to make the leap....so with a little vision and effort we might be able to make a big step.

And again We should start with Education.

[Dizzy28]

The PNM Manifesto of 2020 which was approved by Cabinet as Govnt policy has an entire section called Digital Nation Transformation.
One of the key items was the creation of a "Ministry of Technology and Digital Records"
This actually was overdue based on their plans.

Key words: Estonians have designed numerous digital solutions to help tackle the COVID-19 pandemic crisis. (And their initiative goes back 27 years to 1994). They have been using Blockchain since 2008.


Not a PNM fren' or a UNC fren'. The PEOPLE are part of the solution.

In this colonial-minded backward thinking country with its current leaders - no, eh!

You can't blame the leaders alone as their supporters enable them as they couldn't behave as they do without being voted in continuously.
