Show some courage, PM

The Prime Minister must explain what has happened to our tourism and agricultural sectors.

He must tell us his real plans to maximise revenue streams outside of the energy sector. Finally, if the country’s revenue streams are going to be down for the medium term, why doesn’t he have the courage to institute the necessary cuts to expenditure that will bring some sense of stability to our macroeconomic fundamentals? Four years ago, the President of Suriname, after facing similarly declining revenues, had the intestinal fortitude to cut his annual budget in half, in one year.

It inflicted a lot of harsh economic pain on his citizens but at least it stopped them from living in Alice in financial Wonderland, where the citizens of TT are firmly entrenched under the PM’s delusional leadership.
