A Routine Affair.... teefin?
Consumer Affairs Minister on Beetham food looting:
Ria Taitt Political Editor
Robbery on the Beetham "Stretch" is a normal and habitual thing.
This
was the position taken by Consumer Affairs Minister Peter Taylor
yesterday, as he sought to downplay Thursday's incident in which two
truck-drivers were ambushed on the Beetham Highway and robbed of
foodstuff such as flour, orange juice and milk.
Taylor said he "would not read anything" into the incident.
"I would prefer to see that as an isolated incident," he
said, replying to a question on whether it suggested that the response
to high food prices and shortages had reached crisis proportions.
"I am sure that you have experienced, on many occasions, that in times of heavy traffic, persons would routinely get looted on that Beetham Stretch," he said.
"Yes, of course it has happened before!" he insisted, when pressed by members of the media. "Persons have had their jewelry snatched. "So I would not attribute that (what happened on Thursday ) to any trend," he added.
"Therefore," Taylor said. "One should not seek to cause undue panic or frenzy as a result of what transpired (on the Beetham)."
He
referred to his advice given during Wednesday's news conference, in
which he asked consumers to cut out the middleman, following a meeting
with various stakeholders in the food industry in order to tell the
nation that there was no need to panic over the reported food
shortages.
Told that it was instructive that the Beetham
residents (apparently not heeding this call) had gone, not after
jewelry, but after basic food items such as flour, juice and milk,
Taylor said Beetham residents targeted items which were imported and
not produced in any significant quantity in Trinidad and Tobago.
"These are the most volatile items as far as the international community and the international trends are concerned," he said.
The
Beetham Stretch of the Churchill-Roosevelt Highway has been the scene
of many robberies and motorists, as a rule, do not slow down or stop
there, opting in the event that they get a flat tyre to drive on rims
rather than stop to change the tyre.
In the past, special police patrols have been set up to curb the lawlessness.
FIRE THAT SON OF A BITCH !!!
and now the reply
"I would prefer to see that as an isolated incident,"
yet
persons would routinely get looted on that Beetham Stretch,"
"Yes, of course it has happened before!"
but
"So I would not attribute that (what happened on Thursday ) to any trend
The man really sounding clueless and dotish.
No condemnation of the act, nothing about putting measures in place on the
highway to ensure safety for commuters, just flippant rubbish!
Steups.

As you can see, the Minister made a complete fool of himself by sounding worse than a 5 year old. Apparently this is all the intelligence that is required to become a minister in the PNM Government. From this we can clearly see that the PNM doesn't know what the fock to do to fix T&T. These ministers in the PNM are not in touch with what is really going on in society, especially that cont of a Prime Minister, Patrick Manning. He only studying to fix up heself nice, nice with big mansion and private jet while the people suffering. Bread, flour, rice, butter, sugar, oil...practically everything that you would consider as an essential food item has risen in price. Imagine just last week a loaf of bread was $8.00 and now it is $9.75...is Guyana or Haiti 2020 we heading for.

Robbery is "normal"
Hell yes, under PNM robbery has become "normal".
Beetham must get real boring with all that normality going on every day.
