Doing nothing to improve their constituencies and not helping ppl especially indo communities

U looking for handouts and box drain contracts.

And why are we delineating MPs and communities by ethnicity? The objective isn't to help any one particular ethnicity.
That's the logic used in places like med sci today. It should be like Dr Eric Williams idea of equal opportunity for all.
People should not be selected based on ethnicity but on ability.

Wade mark to rule on the motion of censure tmmrw against growley for disclosures made in the no confidence motion against howai. Censure motion brought forward by kamala
If censure motion successful growley may be suspended from parliament. Possibly till the opening of parliament after elections.
Last time this happened to growley was 2001 (iirc) when he unearthed some curious details on a particular airport expansion project under the panday administration.
And we all know how that ended up

Rating Action: Moody's downgrades Trinidad and Tobago's government bond rating and issuer rating to Baa2 from Baa1, and changes the outlook to negative
Global Credit Research - 30 Apr 2015
New York, April 30, 2015 -- Moody's Investors Service has today downgraded Trinidad and Tobago's government bond rating and issuer rating to Baa2 from Baa1 and changed the outlook to negative from stable.
The key drivers behind the downgrade are:
1. Persistent fiscal deficits and challenging prospects for fiscal reforms.
2. Decline in oil prices and limited economic diversification to weigh negatively on economic growth prospects.
3. Weak macroeconomic policy framework given lack of a medium-term fiscal strategy; and inadequate provision of vital macroeconomic data.
At Baa2, the investment grade rating is supported by a strong government balance sheet, underpinned by the country's Heritage and Stabilization Fund (HSF), and also benefits from a moderate and affordable debt burden and a strong external position.
RATINGS RATIONALE
FIRST DRIVER -- Persistent fiscal deficits and challenging prospects for fiscal reforms
Trinidad and Tobago's fiscal accounts have been reporting recurring deficits on the order of 2-3% of GDP since 2009 after consecutive surpluses were observed over the previous eight years. Going forward, implementing fiscal reforms to put the government accounts on a more sound footing will likely be challenging in a context of low oil prices and potential spillover of low gas prices in the US to other markets. Furthermore, the lack of a medium-term fiscal framework and reliance on one-off measures to cut sending undermines the authorities' ability to achieve a durable turnaround in fiscal metrics. While Trinidad's Heritage and Stabilization Fund is an important element of the sovereign balance sheet, it has not been used as a counter-cyclical policy tool, thus limiting its ability to compensate for negative impact of adverse shocks in the economy. In addition, the rigid structure of public expenditure, where wages, subsidies, and transfers account for more than 65% of total expenditures, limits fiscal flexibility.
SECOND DRIVER -- Decline in oil prices and limited economic diversification to weigh negatively on economic growth prospects
Trinidad remains heavily reliant on the oil and gas-sector and, accordingly, economic activity and fiscal stability is predicated on its performance. Economic growth has slowed down in the post-crisis period as a result of maintenance-related disruption in gas production. Although normal production is likely to resume in 2015, the prospects of injecting new investments to boost growth appears challenging given the decline in oil prices, which are projected to remain below $60/bbl in 2015/16. We anticipate that maturing oil and gas fields will limit Trinidad's prospects of significantly increased hydrocarbon revenues in the medium-term. A return to higher pre-crisis growth rates is unlikely, a condition we think will be aggravated in the context of low energy prices. Given this, we project GDP growth will rebound to less than 2% in the medium-term.
THIRD DRIVER -- Weak macroeconomic policy framework given lack of a medium-term fiscal strategy; and inadequate provision of vital macroeconomic data.
Trinidad's institutional strength is assessed as moderate, based on the World Bank's governance indicators. However, its macroeconomic institutional capacity, including fiscal and monetary policy frameworks, are weaker than those observed in several other investment -grade peers. As a resource-rich country, the absence of a medium-term fiscal framework, coupled with a lack of debt management strategy, represent important policy shortcomings that place the country in a weaker standing relative to most Baa-rated peers. In addition, Trinidad compares poorly in terms of the quality of statistical information. Although some progress has been made to address this long-standing issue, we do not anticipate a rapid resolution and accordingly expect this condition will continue to be present, negatively impacting the country's relative standing in the Baa rating space .
OUTLOOK REVISED TO NEGATIVE
The negative outlook assigned to the country's Baa2 rating reflects the impact we expect the sharp drop in oil prices will have on both the Trinidadian economy and the fiscal accounts. Overall, we anticipate material reductions in government revenues, the current account surplus, and FDI flows that could further weaken the country's credit profile. Absent durable fiscal adjustment, debt metrics would also be expected to deteriorate. In addition, we note material implementation risks around the resolution of the severe data limitations, which is likely to take 18-24 months to implement.
WHAT COULD MOVE THE RATINGS UP/DOWN
Upward rating pressure could result from: (1) upward trend in oil prices that could lead to increased foreign investment in oil/natural gas exploration and production that substantially boosts hydrocarbon output and reserves; (2) improved fiscal policy framework by adopting a medium-term strategy and return to fiscal surpluses; and (3) integrating the Heritage and Stabilization Fund into a medium-term fiscal framework, and enhancing its role as a counter-cyclical fiscal tool.
Downward pressure on the rating could arise from: (1) lack of progress to address fiscal slippage in a durable medium-term strategy; (2) persistent low oil prices that limit prospects for deep-water oil and gas exploration; (3) further deterioration in data quality.
COUNTRY CEILINGS
As a result of this rating action, the long-term foreign currency bond ceiling changed to A3 from A1, while the short-term foreign currency bond ceiling changed to P-2 from P-1. The long-term foreign currency deposit ceiling changed to Baa2 from Baa1, while the short-term foreign currency deposit ceiling changed to P-3 from P-2. The long-term local currency bond and deposit ceilings at A3, and the short-term local currency bond and deposit ceilings at P-2 remain unchanged.
GDP per capita (PPP basis, US$): 30,197 (2013 Actual) (also known as Per Capita Income)
Real GDP growth (% change): 0.8% (2014 Actual) (also known as GDP Growth)
Inflation Rate (CPI, % change Dec/Dec): 9.0% (2014 Actual)
Gen. Gov. Financial Balance/GDP: -1.5% (2014 Actual) (also known as Fiscal Balance)
Current Account Balance/GDP: 8.3% (2014 Actual) (also known as External Balance)
External debt/GDP: 28.2% (2014 Actual)
Level of economic development: Low level of economic resilience
Default history: No default events (on bonds or loans) have been recorded since 1983.
On 29 April 2015, a rating committee was called to discuss the rating of the Trinidad & Tobago, Government of. The main points raised during the discussion were: The issuer's economic fundamentals, including its economic strength, have decreased. The issuer's institutional strength/framework has weakened relative to peers. The issuer's governance and/or management, have materially decreased. The issuer's fiscal or financial strength, including its debt profile, has weakened.
The principal methodology used in these ratings was Sovereign Bond Ratings published in September 2013. Please see the Credit Policy page on www.moodys.com for a copy of this methodology.

Nobody is bawling.

Newsday, devoid of a good story, fished for comments out of some conservative religious leaders who are just as justified in their moral convictions in who they vote for as much as Jowelle is in his conviction to go up for Sando West.

Nobody issued a public statement or anything. Ppl just looking for bacchanal.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE STRENGTH OF OUR ECONOMY AND OUR COMMITMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO

When elected five years ago, the People’s Partnership took on the commitment to put Trinidad and Tobago’s extraordinarily damaged fiscal house in order to secure our nation’s prosperity for this and future generations.

On April 30, Moody’s - a foreign company that assesses credit levels - adjusted their rating for Trinidad & Tobago downward. Moody’s cited global financial conditions, coupled with a sudden drop in energy prices, as factors that led to the rating adjustment.

Under the strong leadership of the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, our government took immediate action to revise revenue price assumptions in the oil and gas sector when energy prices dropped. As a result of this proactive intervention, the fiscal accounts show a surplus of $47 million for the first six months of this financial year as compared to a budgeted deficit of $3.9 billion for the same period.

Yesterday in Parliament, citing extensive data, Finance Minister Howai expressed his doubts and questioned Moody’s action. The Minister was unequivocal; he said Trinidad and Tobago’s economic fundamentals remain resistant and robust; not only has there has been no deterioration in the country’s financial position in the last 12 months -- our economy is expected to continue to grow this year.

This Government came into office on a promise to Serve the People. We are mindful of the need to find the right balance between maintaining strong financial fundamentals and a strong rating, while at the same time improving the quality of life of our citizens, by transforming the economy, by creating jobs, intensifying economic development, developing physical infrastructure, providing improved services and fostering long term growth for the future of our nation.

Not sure if venezuela or tnt

I recently watched an Oliver Stone documentary ..South of the Border.

What struck me heavily is that Latin America is LED by people who have a philosophical concept of where there want to take the country they lead.

I tried to identify that in our current crop of politicians....few of whom have ever succeeded in the real world..at a given profession.

If they were asked to speak without notes on what they see as their goal for the country-without making general statements..how long would they speak for?

what kind of quality content would we get.
