PM assures: Crime will decline

Prime Minister Patrick Manning has assured the country  that it will soon see a decline in crime. And for the second time within a month,  he has put his party on an election footing. Manning made these announcements at the PNM’s family day celebration yesterday,  at the Eddie Hart Grounds, Tacarigua. He told the crowd that the crime situation was only of a temporary nature, and that the structures the Government has put in place would take some time.

“You  will soon see a decline in crime,” he said as he dismissed suggestions that the PNM government could not deal with the situation. He further told his supporters that when they get back to their respective constituencies to immediately get the election machinery rolling — PNM style. He said  that this time around they would have to double their efforts in all  constituencies, whether PNM or not, adding,  “No constituency is sacrosanct.”

He even called on PNM Couva South constituency to  bring  home that seat to the PNM in the next General Election. “The party continues to endure as the strongest and most stable party in the history of our nation,” he said. He told the young party supporters to make use of the range of possibilities available to them inside school as well as outside, in order to develop themselves as productive citizens.
