The following are letters sent on Tuesday February 3 by civic group, Fixin’ T&T, to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar and acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams:
The Honourable Mrs Kamla Persad-Bissessar SC,
Prime Minister of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago,
13 – 15 St. Clair Avenue,
St. Clair.

Dear Mrs Persad-Bissessar,
We write to insist that a date for general elections be announced on or before Friday February 20, 2015 and our Parliament be dissolved. It is the view of many citizens that our Government has collapsed under your leadership. The People’s Partnership has, for quite some time, lost the moral authority to govern THE PEOPLE of Trinidad & Tobago.
The latest of the scandals that plagues your administration has brought the Office of the Attorney General and the Cabinet of Trinidad and Tobago into unprecedented disrepute. We have written to Ag CoP Stephen Williams to request that criminal investigations into allegations of attempts to pervert the course of justice be expanded to include members of your Cabinet. A copy of that letter is attached for your perusal.
We look forward to you ‘doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do’ and expect your announcement of the date for general elections to be made no later than February 20, 2015.
Sincerely,
Kirk Waithe

Mr Stephen Williams,
Ag Commissioner of Police,
Police Administration Building,
Corner Sackville and Edward Streets,
Port of Spain.
Dear Mr. Williams,
We write to formally and respectfully request that the criminal investigation into allegations of attempting to pervert the course of justice be expanded (in addition to Mr. Anand Ramlogan SC) to include:
- Minister of Trade, Industry, Investments and Communications Vasant Bharath
- Mr. Ernie Ross of Ross Advertising
- Any and all other members of Cabinet alleged to have attempted to influence Mr. Gary Griffith to reconsider his intentions/actions
Public statements by Mr. Griffith over the past forty eight hours along with a text message he alleges was sent to him from Minister Bharath cause us tremendous anxiety.
We look forward to your urgent consideration of our request.
Sincerely,
Kirk Waithe

Clyde Paul anytime, anyday, anywhere and twice on Sunday! I’ll meet you. You pick.
Who or whatever you are Jimi it’s still jail for many when the MAN takes over.
immediately
Police probe into Life Sport also
Lol that’s really the most intellectual response you could muster? I’m UNC? LOL
Silverstones,you & the pp unc is scared of Dr Rowley ,because is jail 4 them.
I wish PNM riot over the selection of Rowley as political leader. But say what sheep always follow the herder.
#Icanteven
Naette Yoko Lee ,why did you say that ?This Country will not riot over E Ross,he is of no value to the country on a hole.
If they investigate Ross, this country will riot.
The government has collapsed and is presently warded at St Anns hospital
I dunno jedd…all I know is that Rowley not going to decriminalize/legalize marijuana
Just being a Devil’s advocate ok
What if the PM and her cohort are aware of how deep they are in the Gobar and looking for a get out of jail card. Now they probably can’t trust Timmy boy as Prez for the bigger plot which is having made the call for the Prez to revoke the PCA Director’s appointment Tim May not have agreed so to do when the Prez is away on vacation, so what did they do? Get compliant amenable loyal Razia to do the bidding anytime the Prez takes a break….just a thought…Whey yuh think?
Exactly…
I love the caveat, “after carnival.”
Fixin T T .Calder Hart Wining Low with we money all over the world,Boko Haram thief ah whole Hospital in Tobago, Where were you?
That’s why this country goes nowhere. Them tief so is Ok if we tief…. But the PNM was voted out of government for those allegations of corruption and so too will the PP….
You will be sad after election,we have to reflect on the pass to know what to buy in the future.
Even your beloved Prime Minister don’t believe your bs she knows their dogs dead reflect on the past you say?Damn right I am reflecting on the past four years dude
Why bother reply to ignorance? That is their only response..they are just sheeple. Repeat what Anand and them say..If all fails just repeat Blame the PNM.
Saddly that and a purple cow, we’d never see!!!
I have to keep the hope alive
Hahaha. Gervais Michael Penco, you know how long people waiting on the dangerous dog bill? Decades. Don’t let politicians tie you up with that.
Let’s help Kamla keep her ship afloat until weed decriminalize/legalize nuh?
Kamla, your ship is sinking..
No confidence in the PM.The encourager of wrong doing.
17 minsters sacked ,4 reshuffles in 4yrs.We had enough Kams this reflects bad on u.
Jimi, with that kind of choice, you are making the better choice. What we really need is a wider pool to choose from.
but if Rowley come in power, he would not decriminalize/legalize marijuana.
Colette Cyrus-Burnett….what ever they calling it…..it can happen only in trinidad…sad place’
When you vote for the lesser of two evils you’re still voting for evil aren’t you?
I don’t understand.
I opposed Manning, I’m not UNC.
I opposed Kamla, I’m not PNM.
That narrow way of think is distinctly banana republic!
Vernal Damion Cadogan you know I’m the enemy once I oppose PNM ent! Sound familiar?
Gooding & Silverstone soon you all will hold you stones & ball,writing is on the wall.
Should be called immediately this is a mockery. This cannot be called governing.
Disappointing.
I wonder if these people understand the harm they cause?
You know where Verns…
Ian fighting fun a space along with BStones and PEA
Of course not^^^
You expect anything different Vernal?
That’s a great question Ian asked. An equally good question would be who is financing the UNC, but he eh business with that.
Who’s financing Fixin’T&T? PNM?
The real question why your great leader did not nip this thing in the bud by extraditing Galbaransingh and Ferguson. The Section 34, Emailgate and the alleged “witness tampering”all have at their centre former Attorney General Anand Ramlogan. And it all goes back to airport scandal. I hope you aren’t foolish to think that someone as stupid as Volney could come up with that stroke of mid independence night proclamation.. As well, at the same time, we had the spectre of our esteemed AG claiming to not be an expert in “Criminal Law.” All this from a Senior Counsel AG! Lol! Who’s financing Fixin T&T is the least of our problems as the PM tries to sweep Anand under the carpet by talking about Rowley this and David West that and Gary the other. That’s your great leader blaming everybody but herself for having to fire 17 ministers in four years! ROTFL even though it’s a disaster. After all the talk about accountability, responsibility and integrity while invoking the names of dead people who probably would not have supported her were they alive? Chickens come home to roost.,
Why after Carnival !!!???
Can you imagine a leader as horrible as Kamla? That’s an insult
PP getting stronger by the second. Elections in September. Row lie could call until he turns blue, which is very likely
She shud call it on carnival
I think what pissed her off Savitri was Griffith’s refusal to resign so she was forced to fire him. BIG MISTAKE.
Only one mistake in that letter. Where does the word Honourable fit in?
Ok OK, Savitri, we’ll wait to after Carnival..lol
D lady sounded pissed off last night…what get she so vex, I would really like to know
I say the gov’t collapsed long time, they only trying to save face…and the public getting carried away….
Richard, ppl go vote, but what about the ppl working then….I will vote tonight if I have to
They dismiss them! Wham you late or what? Transparency International too! If you eliminate all cops you can do what you want right? Someone tag Ravi Balgobin
Why
Why wait till ‘after Carnival’? lol I think trinis would vote J’ouvert morning if you give them the chance.
Why an election date wasn’t stated last night still eludes me
