My wish for TT in 2017

I do hope and pray that 2017 will be much better economically and socially for us as citizens. Here is m.y wish list for 2017: For oil and gas prices to rise to an acceptable lev.el. The detection rate for murders, rapes and robberies to be above 40 pe.rcent. White-collar criminals to be brought to jus.tice. Less carnage on the na.tion’s roads. Government and opposition working toge.

ther to pass legislation. Less broken marria.

ges and homes. Our porous borders be.coming secured. A breakthrough in hu.man trafficking. A concrete plan to div.ersify our economy. Better representation from our members of parliament.

May God bless our nation and may we strive as one people for the greater benefit of this land.
