Kamla Is No Paragon of Integrity


Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago,
Kamla Persad-Bissessar
“The Prime Minister’s address is an admission that the government tripped on integrity issues and has had t o scramble to protect the public interest once exposed.” Martin Daly, Trinidad Express, Sunday Feb.8th 2015.
We totally agree with the above. It should now be obvious to even her most ardent defender, that the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, Mrs. Kamla Persad- Bissessar, is no paragon of integrity. The Mahogany Coconut Group has been saying for some time that she is the head of the most corrupt government to have emerged in the Caribbean in the post independence era.
Her forced firing of her party’s pit-bull Attorney General, Anand Ramlogan, is another manifestation that she only acts when her back is against the wall. Those who followed her reluctance to fire Jack Warner know that she had turned a blind eye, to his nefarious activities, until she had no other choice than to get rid of him from her cabinet. We believe that the dismissal of National Security Minister, Gary Griffith, was nothing more than an attempt to appease the disgraced Anand Ramglobin, her chief hatchet man.
Those who are hailing her as some paragon of integrity are hypocritical and trying to convince objective observers that clay is cake. We do not believe that the vast majority of Trinidadians will buy into their pathetic defense of this failure as a leader. Kamla, came to power on the wave of disillusionment, more with Patrick Manning than the PNM, and she has wasted every opportunity be an effective vehicle of good governance.
Many Afro Trinidadians are in shock at the racism she has engineered during her term of office. Widespread distribution of government contracts and giving high paying jobs to under and unqualified persons of her ethnic group have been the norm. She then uses disgraceful public relations stunts, to hand out gifts to the poor, by ensuring that the cameras catch her with an Afro Trinidadian child in her corrupt lap.
“Auntie” Kamla has turned out to be the wicked step mother of Caribbean politics!

Education Reform

-
One Caribbean Nation. It is extremely difficult to believe that we are incapable of solving current challenges relating to crime and other acts of social deviancy. Our culture remains the foundation of our development. It has undergone tremendous change, both for the better and the worst, during the last four decades. However, we remain a society that still demonstrates some virtues of basic decency toward each other but we   have failed to recognize that culture must be maintained, instilled and explained to our citizens. We cannot continue to ignore the depth of cultural penetration , as we sought socio economic development during the post-independence period. To address this , we must seriously examine our education system . The present raging debate regarding the transformation of the system clearly shows we want change but also expect to cling to the status quo ; this creates a perfect   recipe for confusion. The current method of transferring children from the pr...

Abolish 11 - Plus

One Caribbean Nation. ‘Abolish 11-Plus’: VETERAN EDUCATOR ADAMS SLAMS ‘EXAM INEQUALITY’ By Sheria Brathwaite Former senator and retired principal Alwyn Adams on Friday reignited calls to scrap the Barbados Secondary School Entrance Examination, commonly known as the 11-Plus, describing it as an outdated relic of educational segregation that stifles the potential of the working class. While delivering the keynote address at Speech Day of St Leonard's Boys' Secondary School where he was once principal, Adams criticised the island's education system, declaring that it was failing the people and urgently needed reform. Repeating a call made two years ago, he argued that the common entrance examination is an antiquated mechanism designed to limit the academic advancement of Barbados' working class and perpetuate educational segregation. He said then that with Barbados having transitioned to a republic, the country ought to get rid of the current educational system which he...
