Promises not delivered by PNM

Over the nine-year period, the Business Guardian checked some of Imbert’s promises that were not kept:

* The National Statistical Institute, which was meant to replace the Central Statistical Office, has not been delivered;

* A General Accounting Office, which was meant to focus spending to achieve maximum efficiency, has not been delivered;

* In the 2018 budget, Imbert announced a plan to deregulate the fuel market in T&T, while liberalising fuel prices so that they would “fluctuate with the prices of oil and the prices of refined products.” In the 2019 budget, he announced a decision “to slow down the complete deregulation of fuel prices in order to ease the burden on taxpayers.”

* In the 2021 budget, the Minister of Finance announced plans to introduce a private sector operator for the port-handling operations at the Port of Port-of-Spain by the end of fiscal 2021. There has been no selection of a new operator;

* Still no financial automony for Judiciary after it was promised eight years ago during the budget presentation;

* No ban the importation of styrofoam in the food industry and no termination the use of plastic water bottles in government offices, which was to take effect on January 1, 2020;

* No new operator for the Magdelena Grand in Tobago. Hotel to be rebranded under the new operator;

* No parking meters in Port-of-Spain and San Fernando;

* Areas like Bamboo and Woodland are still reeling from severe flooding, causing damage to homes and infrastructure;

* No implementation of the national retirement age from 60 to 65;

* No implementation of a salary review and increase for councillors, remains pending;
Report Ad

* No elimination of arrival forms at airports;

* There are still some taxes and duties on inputs for farmers when it was announced that there would be removal on all taxes for farmers;

* No appointment of procurement officers and procurement units for regional corporations;

* The establishment of full-time executive councils resembling the Tobago House of Assembly and this has not been achieved.

Promises Not Materialised

But not to worry, they can always blame the perennial bobolee.

Therefore, there is no need for them to be held accountable.

Fun fact: Colm Imbert has been the Minister of Finance for two terms. Apart from Eric Williams, he is the only finance minister to have enjoyed such a long term in office. I don't know what he has hanging over Rowley but he not going anywhere as long as PNM in power
