Op­po­si­tion Leader Pen­ne­lope Beck­les-Robin­son says some sec­tors of so­ci­ety no longer feel the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) is a car­ing par­ty.

As the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) stag­gers back to its feet in the af­ter­math of a crush­ing elec­toral de­feat on Mon­day, it turns to a fa­mil­iar but of­ten over­looked face—a woman whose po­lit­i­cal jour­ney has been de­fined not by noise but en­durance.

For the first time in T&T’s his­to­ry, the three high­est of­fices in the land are held by women.

Civ­il so­ci­ety groups and non-gov­ern­men­tal or­gan­i­sa­tions (NGOs) are ready for the Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar-led gov­ern­ment to start ful­fill­ing their cam­paign promis­es.

The lead­er­ship of the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM), which has been re­duced by five of­fi­cers and now com­pris­es la­dy vice chair­man Camille Robin­son-Reg­is, gen­er­al sec­re­tary Fos­ter Cum­mings and To­ba­go Coun­cil leader An­cil Den­nis, will be the team set­ting a time­frame for the par­ty to elect a new leader with­in six months.

Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) San Fer­nan­do East can­di­date Bri­an Man­ning feels for­mer prime min­is­ter Stu­art Young has a role to play in the par­ty’s fu­ture, while de­feat­ed San Fer­nan­do West can­di­date Faris Al-Rawi has point­ed out that 100,000 peo­ple who didn’t turn out to vote for the PNM, didn’t turn up to vote for the UNC ei­ther.

For­mer prime min­is­ter Dr Kei­th Row­ley says T&T and the me­dia must en­sure that mem­bers of the new Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) gov­ern­ment do not un­der­mine, dis­miss or de­lay the re­cov­ery of the ap­prox­i­mate­ly US$100 mil­lion in the US courts in the Pi­ar­co Air­port mat­ter.

Em­bat­tled Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Er­la Hare­wood-Christo­pher will learn the fate of her law­suit chal­leng­ing her sus­pen­sion by the Po­lice Ser­vice Com­mis­sion (PolSC) on May 12.

Just days af­ter help­ing se­cure a gen­er­al elec­tion vic­to­ry for the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress, Oil­field Work­ers Trade Union (OW­TU) pres­i­dent gen­er­al de­clared to work­ers gath­ered at a May Day ral­ly and march in San Fer­nan­do: “It’s we time now.”

No one wit­nessed the at­tack, but Kaladeen had com­plained about the an­i­mals at­tack­ing him and a bi­son was seen roam­ing near his home.

An at­tempt to kid­nap a Diego Mar­tin man on Wednes­day morn­ing was un­suc­cess­ful, af­ter he fought off his at­tack­ers and man­aged to es­cape.

A Laven­tille man was gunned down on Wednes­day night as he stood speak­ing with a friend sev­er­al streets away from his home.
