In response to the recent surge in violence, Caroni Central Member of Parliament Arnold Ram has called for farmers and fishermen to have better and easier access to Firearm Users’ Licences.
Ram's statement comes in the wake of the murder of 27-year-old Christopher Christian in Carlsen Field, Chase Village, who was killed while fending off criminals during a robbery attempt at his home on Monday.
Commenting on this incident, which is part of a larger pattern of over 20 violent acts against the community recently.
"After almost a decade of continuous failure by the Government in national security and citizen safety, the time for talk and empty assurances is gone," said Ram. "Promises flow far too easily from the Keith Rowley Administration, to the point that it has become part of the national folklore that nothing they say can be believed."
Ram emphasized the critical role that farmers and fishermen play in the national interest, noting that they are essential in providing food for a nation struggling with its food import bill.
