'jefe'

I never considered our neighborhood as being one with an ecosystem. I thought houses, golf course, mini mart, school were actually the antithesis of a green environment. Today's evening walk proved that wrong as I had two different experiences. The first being a fellow walker taping the cacophony made by the hundreds of parrots nesting in the neighborhood bamboo. Then I meet walker no. 2 who informs me that there is a new grouping of parakeets who have taken up residence in her area. We can now add this to the early morning hawks and the strange night bird calls. Very happy to see that earth is alive and well in Moka.

How can the PMOTT say that "the PM's job is one of the two worst jobs in T&T". He made this statement in the Parliament during the "debate" over the appointment of a new Commissioner of Police. The worst job? I do not understand, what is the PMOTT on about? Is he not aware for a fleeting moment of the power he has to be able to change the way we see ourselves, to change the fortunes of the country, to put us all on the path to posterity, to ensure the future of the people of the Rock is in good hands? Is it that the PMOTT has a problem with being a real-life leader? actually having to make decisions that will be life changing?
Reading this statement has me very concerned, it's almost Trumpish. Blame everyone and everything else on the misfortunes of the Rock without taking responsibility for anything. You offered yourself for public office, you won the election, you are the PMOTT, you are therefore in charge and after nearly three years in office have to accept the responsibility for the affairs of the country. Blaming the LOTO for sins committed does not make our situation any better. You are the 'jefe' so then be a 'jefe'.          Stop the crying, whimpering and spoilt child attitude. The electorate is not buying the excuses about who did what especially where it is all just rhetoric with nothing tangible being done. We are fed up with the accusations. There is always a file somewhere ready to produce dirt on someone, but the file never surfaces.

As the PMOTT you can bring real, meaningful change to the lives of every single citizen.

•  Proportional Representation to break the stupid racial voting pattern.
• The Right to Re-call to deal with errant MP's.
• The process of Referendum where we the citizens can tell you what we really think.
• The new process to select a Commissioner of Police considering the current system is flawed.
• The decriminalizing of marijuana usage.
• The removal of all laws dealing with gender discrimination.
• The removal of all the Service Commissions having outlived there useful life.
• The complete overhaul of Government.
• A new way of governing ourselves with the removal of the archaic, unworkable Westminster system.
• Shutting down the State-owned sector, this will go a long way in eliminating corruption. Why does the State need to own a quarrying company? or any other commercial entity for that matter?  

PMOTT, there is a ton load of work to be done. Saying that you have a lousy job and that nobody would want it is not what we want to hear. Wake up tomorrow and set your sights on making this Rock the best place on earth! It can happen with proper leadership!

Working at a job that you absolutely hate is the worst thing that you could possibly imagine.  If that is the case do what other sensible people do, leave!

Tomorrow on my early morning sojourn I am going to further observe the bio-diversity in my neighborhood, record same and report back.

Good night and good luck people, remember if you do not like the job that you are in, hand in your resignation on Monday, there is another life!
