On Tuesday night, the Prime Minister acknowledged the bad state of the country’s roads and promised to focus on road improvement.
Speaking at a PNM public meeting at the Belmont Community Centre on Tuesday night, he said, during the pandemic, the government had to prioritise people’s lives.
“This government acknowledges that the roads in this country would have deteriorated considerably. We acknowledge that. You know why? During 2020 and 2021, we spent the money keeping you alive and there was not sufficient money to spend on road repairs.”
Dr Rowley said, because of the $13 billion budget deficit in fiscal 2021, the money was being borrowed “from the bank.”
Now that the country was in a better financial position, he said Cabinet approved a road-repair company in the Ministry of Local Government and a board was appointed.
Soon, Rowley said, the Finance Minister would make money available to the company and contractors would be mobilised to fix the roads.
He said the government would also reform local government as the Local Government Reform Bill was passed in the Senate on June 14. However, it was yet to be proclaimed and the whole bill would not be proclaimed all at once.
He recalled arranging a meeting of local government officers on August 9 at the Government Campus Plaza, Richmond Street, Port of Spain for the government to tell them how the reform would be operationalised.
“Guess what? The Opposition not supporting that. And the leader, hysterical in her virtual appearance in one of her Monday night rants, telling her members, ‘Don’t go because the Prime Minister go bouf you.’
“What a stupid woman! I never know that ignorance is a position of strength.
“So you want to be ignorant about the proclamation of the law, so you don’t come, so you remain ignorant, and then, of course, you will go by your friends in the media and talk all kinds of nonsense after. Because you refuse even to know what the government intends to do.”

HEALTH Minister Terrence Deyalsingh praised staff at the San Fernando General Hospital for taking care of a baby girl who was abandoned there on Monday.
Commenting on the issue during the virtual covid19 news conference on Wednesday, Deyalsingh said, “Let me express my gratitude to the staff of SFGH for responding to the cries of that infant as well as taking care of that infant.”
He added, “To my knowledge, this may be one of the first or few occasions that, that has happened in a hospital setting.”
Deyalsingh recalled previous stories in the media about babies being abandoned in other places.
“But as far as being found in a hospital setting, this is probably the first one that I know of.”
He urged SFGH staff to continue to “take care of this precious life.”
A newborn girl and a note were found in a cardboard box in the hallway on the ground floor of the SFGH on Monday.
The police confirmed the one-page hand-written note but were tightlipped about its content.
Newsday learnt that the author, believed to be the baby’s mother, explained that she could not care for the child.
The police said the child appeared to be healthy. No one saw who abandoned her.
Newsday spoke with Selwyn Carrington, the man who was heading to the hospital shortly before 9 am, when he saw the box on the ground.
He said a woman was walking nearby ahead of him and said, “How that look like a baby so?”
Carrington looked inside the box in the corner of a corridor and responded, “Yes, that is a baby.”
A statement from the South-West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA) confirmed the newborn had been found on the compound and was receiving care from medical professionals.
The statement added, “Additionally, an investigation is underway and in progress to determine the circumstances which led to this unfortunate incident.
“The SWRHA has alerted the relevant partner state agencies to provide all the necessary assistance as required.”
No further details were given.
The police are calling for anyone with information to contact the nearest station or San Fernando police at 652-2564.
Asked about facilities to treat people suffering from mental illnesses, Deyalsingh said such facilities exist under the different regional health authorities. He made this comment in response to a question about a person who is alleged to have killed seven-year-old Mckenzie Hope Rechier in Palo Seco on August 19 as allegedly being mentaly ill.

WASA employees pump out water from a ten-foot-wide sinkhole on the Western Main Road, St James, on Tuesday evening. – Angelo Marcelle
The Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) said the leak which caused a sinkhole along the Western Main Road, St. James was repaired by 6 am on Wednesday. It said the roadway had also been repaired.
Speaking to Newsday on Wednesday, corporate communications manager Gregory Roxborough said original estimates were that both the leak and the roadway could be repaired by 6 am on Wednesday.
“The job was carded to finish at 6 am and they stuck to that. The repairs were completed and everything is back to normal.”
The hole, which was about ten feet wide and four and a half feet deep, appeared late Tuesday evening, and had water pouring out of it into the canal on the westbound side of the road. It was caused by a leak that developed on the16 inch diameter transmission pipeline in the vicinity of the Courts store.
Repair works began at 6 pm on Tuesday evening, and customers in parts of St. James and environs experienced a disruption in their water supply as a result.
