As the Prime Minister hints at an upcoming election in Trinidad and Tobago, the call for a well-organized political entity to lead the country forward becomes more urgent. With both the ruling PNM and the Opposition UNC facing waning popularity, voters are seeking a new leader with the qualities of unity, honesty, integrity, and expertise in various critical areas such as agriculture, tourism, education, economics, and crime management.
While there are competent individuals willing to step up from both sides of the political spectrum, many are deterred by economic persecution and the sacrifices they must make to serve the country. This economic barrier hinders the emergence of new leaders who could bring about positive change.
In order for Trinidad and Tobago to reach its full potential and become a thriving nation with a strong agricultural sector, booming tourism industry, and enhanced safety measures, the business community must shift its focus. Rather than supporting the same failing parties, they should back a new political organization with competent leaders and encourage their management sector to offer their services to the country.
Financial support, guidance, and active participation from the business sector are crucial for the success of any new political entity. Without proper resources and funding, even the most well-intentioned individuals with innovative ideas will struggle to make a meaningful impact in a general election.
It is essential for the people of Trinidad and Tobago, in collaboration with the business community, to come together to address these challenges and pave the way for a brighter future. Without collective action and a shift towards supporting true change, the country risks stagnation and continued celebration of mediocrity.
