In case you missed it, Jack and Kamla brought Shaquille O’Neal in this weekend to launch a basketball competition in the depressed Beetham community. Why? Because basketball competitions with a first prize of $1m for youths resembling John Sandy help reduce crime. And for good measure she handed out the keys to new homes to some residents. Why? Because handouts in depressed communities help stop crime from happening.
So, I want to take the opportunity to re-visit the PPG’s Crime Initiatives to date.
1. Hire John Sandy
2. Hire Reshmi Ramnarine
3.Dismantle SAUTT, Sell Blimp, Cancel sale of Offshore Patrol Vessels
4. Hire Gibbs and Ewatski
5. Call a State of Emergency
6. Colour Laventille Orange
7. Rent a Crop Duster
8. Fire John Sandy
9. Hire Jack Warner
10. Arrest environmentalists and demolish camp sites
11. Hire Shaquille O’Neal to play basketball with Kamla.
We aint reach where we going…..we facking pass it!
De Vice Cyah Done!

What was the previous gov’t plans?
i’m sure if you searched Express, Newsday and Guardian archives you’d find out, and then you can compare and contrast at your leisure, and determine whether or not there is any difference between the PNM and the PPG, and whether in fact the PPG delivered on its campaign promise of change…
Is serious crime up or is it down from one govt to the next
I’d prefer you check the TTPS website for the statistics instead of taking my word for it and doing your own comparison.

Sandy’s nearly two-year tenure as Security Minister has seen a reported drop in serious crime
