It’s a horrible thought but another 291 persons will be murdered somewhere in Trinidad and Tobago before Old Year’s Day 2009. The murder toll and the Prime Minister’s now obsessive regional integration agenda became hot topics after the June 21, 2009 PNM Convention, not because they are related — but because they are a reasonable gauge of what the Government considers to be its priority.
The prospect of 600 or more murders in 2009 must be known to the country’s Prime Minister. His focus at the convention on regional integration and not the long awaited crime plan confirmed the view that there is much distance between the public’s fear of more death to come and the political reluctance to face the problems head on.
The divide between Whitehall and the rest of the country is widening and at least 600 bodies are going to fall in that gap in 2009.
