Govt fails and prevails

The Minister of Local Government went on TV and openly admitted that the respective agencies did not act on time. Who should take responsibility for this? The chairman of the Penal-Debe Regional Corporation, did not ensure that emergency shelters were made available to families and individuals who were in dire need of shelter and basic amenities. Who should take responsibilty for this? Kamla Persad Bissessar must be commended for taking time out to meet with those citizens to highlight their plight.

Where were the great men of the PNM? Where was Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley? Where was the eloquent Faris Al-Rawi? Where was the brilliant Colm Imbert? Where was the so-called knowledgeable Stuart Young? Did these men take an emergency vacation when they got wind of the approaching storm? What were the contingency measures that the great PNM would have put in place to replace all of the working mechanisms of the past administration? Are we seeing good governance or failed governance? Failed is the Government and it has prevailed.
