THE EDITOR: Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has begun dismantling layers of wasteful spending left behind by the previous administration - and it's a decision that could reshape the future of public finance in TT.
For too long tax dollars have been wasted on luxury rentals, high-end vehicles, unnecessary advertising, and inflated security details. These perks may have benefited a privileged few, but they offered nothing of substance to the average citizen struggling with real-world problems like crime, healthcare, or deteriorating infrastructure.
Persad-Bissessar's new policy approach sends a strong message: government is not here to serve itself; it's here to serve the people.
