Trinidad and Tobago: 36 years as a republic
“Governments, elected by the people, need to remember that they are at all times accountable to the people. They are in positions of responsibility because citizens placed them there and therefore they are not governing in isolation, but are really trustees who manage the nation’s affairs for and on behalf of the citizenry.”
The MSJ said “the level of arrogance that we are witnessing today, is what, back in 2009, generated the push for The People’s Democracy.
“We reiterate that now is the time for the people to call for more accountability from those in Government. For the MSJ, there is strong evidence that the crisis of governance and the level of injustice in the system are sending the country into a downward spiral of social disintegration. In this regard, our collective silence will have disastrous consequences for our Republic.” – (CMC)
