there has been a lot of patching in the last week I guess with the public pressure on imps rohani
and the patching has actually been decent
they patched beetham by vmcott eastbound and the same truck stopped and patched by aranguez just by the walkover
was very fast too, I was stuck in the traffic behind the beetham patching and by the time the traffic was moving the same truck stopped by aranguez.

just goes to show that they can patch properly if they want to and should be doing that instead of waiting little holes to become craters which damage the sub base.

yeah boy they patch up the gaza pothole strip in the back of Price Plaza by the round-about entrance near that wasa pump station. After so many years of neglect. They must be pat themselves on the back and say good job, and next 6 months it the same way and never to be maintained again until 2025 elections. I even see a contractor grade and pave a whole new side trace somewhere in the back in Crown Trace to get back onto the southern main road.

ppl have to realize that MOWT priority with road works is that it must be a big job contract so they ppl (#72 etc) can eat ah food
local small patching and continuous remedial works are a no-no

sadly they rather let roads deteriorate and just in time for big money contracts or election time.

give PEA credit with all his ranting, he is trying to break the mamaguy culture that the red and yellow take us for jackass
I am not a fan of him but he is doing a very good job of lighting them up and they have no answer but to act in some cases

right now, i rather PEA was opposition than UNC, because they actually doing opposition job right now and getting the government to move its ass and do their duty. That's what Opposition should be doing.

But then again, if they were collecting the UNC salary and perks i wonder if they would still perform the same way? You know that is how politicians are in Trinidad. The Suffrage of Elvira.

Allowing politicians to get too comfortable is the single worst mistake a public could make. Not just Trini either.

A quote from Warren Buffet of all people (about his kids) sums up how we should treat our officials.

"Give them enough money so that they would feel they could do anything, but not so much that they would do nothing." - Warren Buffet.

The PNM is comfortable because they portray a "lesser of two evils" persona....meanwhile their strongholds have the the worst roads and their MPs probably don't even live in their areas to hear the constituents' plights.

"Evil prevails when good men do nothing" Edmund burke. When trinis get comfortable and let the PNM do what they please because they are perceived to be the best out of all the sheit. Doesn't take away the fact that they are still sheit though.......not one accomplishment in EIGHT years

Na I very grateful to live in a country where politicians could call large ridiculous figures to spend on unnecessary things without question. The kickbacks make them sleep at night

Once we getting value for money in renting family owned buildings to the government and they can buy 3 brand new Porsche and AMG during their terms tax free "as part of the package" all ah we happy. That is the National Pride that the president spoke of that brings unity to the nation. Plus who tell them to build road in the lagoon anyway?

If not for social media exposing all these negative elements within the country, would anything be done to resolve them?

Ask yourself this question and you will find the answer before social media was anything getting fixed in this country. Out of sight out of mind
