    Fixin’ TT head: I’m in love with T&T

    Kirk Waithe, of Fixin’ TT wants a well governed, safe, secure, efficient and productive country

    Leaving Mr Warner for the time being, what drives you with this Fixin’ TT agenda?
    I am obsessed with Trinidad and Tobago. I not only love but I am in love with Trinidad and Tobago. I wake up every morning knowing that this little space called Trinidad and Tobago was put on this earth to create a society for the world tomorrow. I understand that this is why we have the ethnic, religious and cultural diversity. Why we have the intellectual and creative capacity.

    All of that relative to a minute population upon a small geographic area. This place has all the ingredients to create a society for the world tomorrow. And your good governance obsession? I would like to see good governance where our elected officials fully appreciate our most valuable resource, which is our human resource, where you put every measure in place to protect, preserve and develop that resource.

    And when you are committed to doing that you will find that you have functional institutions, effective law and order, a safe and secured society. One that is literate because in a country like ours, there is absolutely no excuse why we should have a 47 per cent functional illiteracy rate. That is insane Clevon. We are too rich to be so poor; the fact that we have the type of health care we have, we’re too rich to be so poor; the fact that we have the level of crime that we have; we are too rich to be so poor and so on.

    Very well, getting back to Mr Warner. He said in response to your attack that your group was being malicious and disingenuous to defame his character. Would you be surprised to know that many people share this view?
    I don’t know, I did not conduct a survey to see how many people agree with him (laughing out loud). What Mr Warner says there, we must vigorously defend his right to say what he did, that is freedom of expression, as we must enjoy our right to be critical of elected officials.

    Correct, but shouldn’t this be based on hard, cold facts, not merely allegations?
    Uh huh. These are allegations and all we are saying is that they should be cleared up, especially when you desire to hold public office. Funding for the TTFF has been cut off pending full clarification of the money that came from the Korean Football Federation that was supposed to go to Haiti...
