The United National Congress has condemned Stuart Young’s statement at the post cabinet briefing. Young said that there was someone behind the spike in violent crimes. In response the UNC said that the minister was hiding behind propaganda. Take a look at the statement below:

“Stuart Young is a danger to our democracy and is unfit to hold any public office in Trinidad and Tobago. During this tenure as Minister of National Security crime has spiralled out of control and rather than do the dignified and respectable thing and resign he has opted for scandal and propaganda.

The Rowley regime has spent the last few years making excuses for their incompetence, ineptitude and failure, and offered no solutions.  They’ve blamed the former Government, and used every tactic to try to distract and deflect, but the people of T&T know better.

The fact remains that crime has spiralled under this Government because they do not know how to govern.  The Rowley regime has now resorted to using the Post Cabinet Media Briefing to make unfounded claims and spurious allegations.

Judging from the content of the media briefing, the nation is left to wonder if the members of Cabinet spend their time engaged in gossip and fear mongering.

We wish to remind Young et al that the Post Cabinet briefing ought to have been used to tell the nation what they are doing in the face of the mayhem we are witnessing, instead we got dangerous political propaganda showing Young is not fit to hold any office. The entire nation is fed up of this brand of politics.

The people have had enough. They are tired of living in fear while the Government dithers. The Prime Minister should call the elections since he and his clueless team cannot do the work.”
