Newsday August 19, 2021
THE NJAC said on Wednesday that the Prime Minister must apologise for "the lack of respect shown to the people of Trinidad and Tobago " in his remarks at Tuesday's sod turning ceremony of the new Desperadoes pan theatre.
At that event Dr Rowley said it was now urgent for people to help diversify the economy in light of an expected global drop in demand for oil in 15 years. He chided the "foolish" behaviour of past critics of attempts at diversification by former PNM governments such as aluminium smelters and a Sandals Resort.
NJAC said it saw this as "a most disingenuous statement by Dr Rowley and one that shows contempt for the people of this country."
It is clear to me that dem NJAC PEOPLE came on a boat illegally to vote for THE PNM and have not yet gotten enlightened. TRINIDAD IS PNM COUNTRY and PNM and PAN COULD DO WHATEVER THEY LIKE IN TRINIDAD. Keith Diaz said that PAN controls 350,000 PNM VOTES in Trinidad ... and as LILY TOMLIN used to say: "And that's the truth!!!"
This is PNM FORUM and so I will take my licks. But I have been following THE PNM since 1956 and it is PARTY and SUPPORTERS FIRST and COUNTRY SECOND!!!
We need a GOVERNMENT to put COUNTRY FIRST. Just like me need a PAN TRINBAGO EXECUTIVE to PUT PAN FIRST and BEVERLEY EGO and PAY CHECK and ALLOWANCES -- SECOND!!!

PLENTY BLACK PEOPLE in TRINIDAD VEX with this FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT by THE PNM in these DESPERATE COVID TIMES.
And that surprises me a LITTLE BIT. Because PNM GIMME GIMME is a HARD CORE CULTURE that stifles PAN PROGRESS. And when they start complaining against their OWN GOVERNMENT -- WATER MORE THAN FLOWER.
I see GRIM TIMES AHEAD!!!
