January 24, 2010, will go down in history as one of the greatest political tsunami of cataclysmic portion in Trinidad and Tobago. Of the 15,291 votes cast in the UNC internal election for Mrs. Kamla Persad Bissessar (“Mrs. Bissessar”) and Mr. Basdeo Panday (“Panday”), 13,932, or 91% voted for Kamla while only 1,359 or 9% voted for Panday, hence the reason this was a political tsunami.
Now is the time for Mrs. Bissessar to raise the UNC party from the dark and desolate valley of racial separation to the sunlit part of racial justice for all in Trinidad and Tobago. The time has come through Mrs. Bissessar to open the doors of opportunity to all God’s children in Trinidad and Tobago.
My hope is that Mrs. Bissessar will be able to unite the people of Trinidad and Tobago where all the people of the country, Blacks, Indians, Syrians, Chinese, and Catholics, Baptist, Hindus, Muslim, Evangelical, and Seventh – day Adventist will all be able to join hands and sing the glorious motto of Trinidad and Tobago, “Together We Aspire Together We Achieve.” Therefore, here are my seven questions for Mrs. Bissessar:
1. How is a Mrs. Bissessar led UNC government going to assure the people of T&T that the UNC is truly a party of diversity?
2. How will a Mrs. Kamla Persad Bissessar (“Mrs. Bissessar”) led UNC government assure the people of T&T that transparency and accountability will be a major goal of the UNC party rather than just lip service? What are the actual measures that would be put in place to address this?
3. When Mrs. Bissessar was a member of the ruling UNC Government, there was massive corruption in the UNC government. What did you, Mrs. Bissessar, do about the corrupt practices of the members of your party? Why didn’t you speak out? Why were you silent? What is she going to do differently if UNC is elected to power?
4. What is the UNC’s position on crime and how are they going to reduce crime in T&T? What do you intend to do different? Do you have any concrete plans/initiatives to ensure the population that you can indeed put measures in place to reduce crime?
5. How will a Mrs. Bissessar led UNC government deal with the economy due to the continued low prices for gas? What measure do you have for improving the utilization oil and gas revenues? Do you have any strategies for diversifying the economy?
6. What is the UNC’s position on health and education for the people of T&T? What measures do you have for introducing modern pedagogy to develop young students?
7. How will a Mrs. Bissessar led UNC government improve the quality and performance of the Police Department? Do you have any specific measures to deal with this issue?

I need to see her make drastic and I mean drastic changes to the structure of the UNC. Bascially she is presenting the same party without Mr Panday as a leader.
It would be so great if they could get some (old) but new perspectives, such as a Mary King and Gillian Lucky on board and get rid of some of those old foggies from the party.
You know as a young person, I am so tired, sick and fed up of the same old same old politics eh. There was recently a youth forum and that is the general consensus of the youth i think.

I hate to say this. I believe that you have stated numerous times onm the Trinidad radio stations that you have been in America for a long time. That being the case, how could you by your utterances support, at least inferentially the PNM and their Lapdogs. Give me two good reasons why an enlightened human being could blindly support the PNM today. And please dont tell me because my parents were PNmites and they provide the GATE and CEPEP Programmes or they did a lot for people living in Laventille but they dont want to access those programmes. Cool.

I must congratulate you wallstreet on this well studied blog. As a young person living in Trinidad I always look at theses people that is elected to represent the people
And through this election campaigning I am always listening to both parties and up to now I’m realy not hearing things that is benifitcial for us as a people. Insted what
we are hearing is who done what and who going do do what to who and you know what while these politicians dose this you can clearly are that it ai done to side track the
minds of the people and at the end of all that wallstreet people is still going to face high food prices, bad health care, improper roads,water problems. And the issues
still exists and as for the radio talk shows host they are just doing a great job in distracting the people from the important issues at hand with propergander they spread
while we will continue to face the point.
