Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley. –
The Prime Minister has promised to instruct the Finance Minister to make a special payment to Ministry of Health workers in the next budget.
He made the announcement at a PNM National Public Meeting at the Belmont Community Centre on Tuesday night saying the people in the health service “stood in the breech” for the people of TT and defending Chief Medical officer Dr Roshan Parasram.
“You all don’t understand what it means to be in a position of responsibility where death is the outcome, death is our portion, a virus killing millions of people around the world.
“And it is your responsibility to make the call and you buckle down and stay there and say you are going to fight for the people of TT in the very room where the virus killing people. Their families can’t come to them but health officers in the room there with them and handling them.”
He said those people had family members who were concerned for them, worried they would contract covid19 and die as did millions of people around the world. Therefore, he would not listen to any objection to the special payment because the government could afford it.
“It is not to say that we do not recognise what other people have done but those who walked the extra mile and had the extra exposure, it is on that basis alone. And they rose to the occasion. Our health service in a pandemic, in the pandemic of 2020, 2021, our health service was there for all the people of TT and we must be a grateful people.”

WASA employees pump out water from a ten-foot-wide sinkhole on the Western Main Road, St James, on Tuesday evening. – Angelo Marcelle
The front left wheel of a car went into a sinkhole in the road which opened up opposite Courts in St James on Tuesday.
The hole, which was about ten feet wide and four and a half feet deep, had water pouring out of it into the canal on the west-bound side of the road.
In a press release, the Water and Sewerage Authority said a leak developed on a 16-inch diameter transmission pipeline and undermined a portion of the road. Emergency repair work was scheduled from 6 pm on Tuesday to 6 am on Wednesday.
It said customers in parts of St James and environs would experience a disruption in their water supply during the repairs and up to 24 hours after the work was completed.
When Newsday visited the area, vendors said water started to bubble up out of cracks in the street at the corners of Western Main Road and Benares Street around 6 am. The cracks widened, raising and breaking up the pitch as the day progressed.
They said it was some time between 2 pm and 3 pm when the wagon unsuccessfully tried to swerve from the damaged piece of road, when the left front wheel drove over the cracks and the hole opened up. The car was removed soon after with the help of the police.
Cones and tape were placed around the hole to prevent further accidents, and around 4 pm, two employees of the Port of Spain City Corporation visited the scene to assess the situation.

J’ai toujours aimé le dessin. Je dessine depuis l’âge de trois ans. Très tôt, j’ai voulu créer des histoires, donc très vite je me suis tourné vers la bande dessinée. Puis j’ai naturellement voulu me diriger vers le cinéma. À l’époque, il y avait le Club Dorothée et pas mal de dessins animés qui étaient inspirants et qui donnaient envie de créer. C’est cela qui m’a vraiment donné envie d’en réaliser, notamment en…

Saint-Pierre
Pour un coup d’essai, ce fut un coup de maître. La première édition de « Saint-Pierre by night » a mis de l’ambiance dans les rues de la ville. Le public avait le choix entre trois lieux et trois ambiances différentes.
Vendredi soir, trois sites de la ville ont connu une belle effervescence : le marché couvert avec les vétérans de l’Assaut de Saint-Pierre, la place Glacière, sur le front de mer avec le groupe Sé Zig la, et la place de la Roxelane pour un open micro animé par Eddy Borderan et Radio Fréquence Caraïbes.
La pluie intermittente a quelque peu gâché les festivités, limitant les noctambules dans leurs déplacements d’un point à un autre. Sous le marché de la place Bertin, le public a…

À quelques jours de la rentrée, les familles affluent dans les magasins spécialistes de l’uniforme scolaire pour rhabiller leurs enfants des pieds à la tête. Entre les polos, chemises ou t-shirts imposés par le règlement de certains établissements, il faut généralement y rajouter les pantalons et chaussures. Des dépenses conséquentes même si les enseignes font de leur mieux pour compenser l’augmentation des coûts.
La file d’attente s’allonge aussi bien à la caisse que devant les cabines d’essayage. « À qui le tour s’il vous plaît ? », s’enquiert Daher Almerai, tout en envoyant des messages vocaux à un de ses salariés dans l’arrière-boutique pour demander un polo supplémentaire. En ce mardi matin, le gérant du magasin Lorenzo, à l’angle des rues Blénac et Isambert à Fort-de-France, semble débordé par l’afflux de clients venus acheter polos, chemises ou encore jeans nécessaires…

Entertainer ‘Poor and Boasy’ pleaded guilty to fraud charges when he appeared in the Kingston and St Andrew Parish Court on Tuesday.
He is to return in November when a social enquiry report is expected to be presented.
The deejay, whose given name is Omar Johnson, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud, uttering forged document and obtaining money by means of false pretence.
It is alleged that ‘Poor and Boasy’ collected money amounting to US$1,000 from a deejay who had asked him to convert the cash to Jamaican dollars. The deejay who Poor and Boasy collected the money from had allegedly returned from overseas after doing a show.
‘Poor and Boasy’ is then alleged to have given the money that he collected in a sealed envelope to the complainant and received J$70,000 in return. It was later revealed that all the bills that the complainant got had the same serial number.
A report was made to the police and ‘Poor and Boasy’ was arrested and charged.
Judge Lori-Ann Cole-Montague was going to put a stop order on the artiste, which would have prevented him from leaving the country. However, ‘Poor and Boasy’, who was without an attorney, begged the judge for a break as he has an upcoming show in Trinidad.
She relented on issuing the stop order, saying that she did not want to prevent the artiste from making a living but the entertainer must report to the Half-Way-Tree Police Station weekly.
