This Podcast reminds us that before we cast our vote in the August 10th 2020 Elections, we must examine the philosophies, policies and practices of all administrations and their accompanying political parties that are germane to ensuring that Gross Domestic Personal Safety / Security, Gross Domestic Happiness, Gross Domestic Peace and Gross Domestic Equity are just as important as Gross Domestic Product.

SECURITY AND THE GROUND / BOTTOM UP MODEL OF GOVERNING

Crime in T&T has reached such astronomical proportions that T&T was ranked 6th as the Murder Capital of the World. Now is the time to get rid of the current Top/Down colonial model of governing for the past 50 years that has failed us and embrace the people centered Ground / Bottom Up model of Governing.

Currently, the Ministry of National Security addresses the social ills via a military approach which places its emphasis on traditional type Police Force which is a Top Down approach that has failed us. With the Ground / Bottom up model, there will be more reliance on Community Policing which is more in Defense of the People and the social ills will be addressed via a holistic multi-systems approach.

SOLVING SOCIAL ISSUES AND THE GROUND / BOTTOM UP MODEL

Like no other time in its history, Trinidad and Tobago is facing the greatest challenge since its independence because we are plagued with a variety of social ills ranging from runaway crime, family violence, unemployment, poverty, human / drug trafficking and corruption to name a few. Now is the time to get rid of the current Top/Down colonial model of governing for the past 50 years that has failed us and embrace the people centered Ground / Bottom Up model of Governing.


Colonialism resulted in the ethnic division of our people. We need to break the political racial divide. We need to capture a new social / political world order. We need the people centered Ground / Bottom Up model of Governing.
