A new Special Purpose Company to upgrade secondary roads, pre-approved funding to the tune of $100M already operationalized and a board constituted. Is this necessary when there is PURE under the MOWT? Jobs and food for the boys SMH

A Cepep for secondary roads. Expect shoddy works with little to no accountability.

Just now ppl will leave their jobs because they only making money to reach to work

[drchaos]

Ev is not a good solution...

Amazing solution ... Never change oil and filters, never change brake pads, never go to the gas station again, even if they raise electricity prices to 3x what it is, it will still be cheaper than gas. Never have transmission trouble, better air quality ... vehicles esp diesel can increase your risk chronic respiratory diseases significantly.

Heard its gas set to increase by $ 1.50 per litre across the board.
As usual we will complain and take it and no one aint riot yet.

Hmm..this!!!


Never forget France and the Yellow Vest movement.

But we in Trinidad and Tobago feel we are either too elite or fear of politically alignment to protest.

Big man thing
The police go after legit protesters with full force.Nobody has political armor against the PNM except Beethamites.You asking people to go on a suicide mission there.You will get arrested and it will have real world consequences for you, your family,your job etc.The pnm knows this too well.
