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

Savitri; tonight’s CCN TV6 People Meter question results
Are you satisfied with the PNM’s choice for Arima?
YES = 65%
NO = 35%
We need a breath of fresh air from the animal farm…..arrogance, deceit,nepotism covered by a blanket of pitch on the road.
Look how we got our own ebola
kirk waithe and fixin tnt is de same person…ent?
either of him make ah statement on calabar yet?
True ting Savitri. Rowley and the screening committee (pretty much one and the same) really have it in for Penny. Reeks of spite. But that’s for another thread.
People see in others only a reflections of themselves
Somebody pls get Imbert and others opinion on this and report back
All d “till a dead” suddenly cocky while Penny wins 30 out of 35 nominations and still not selected for Arima, now that is democracy
Government is doing well. Should she not taken action? Way to go PM.
Cancel carnival .waste ot tax dolllars
Where was your mouth fixin tnt when manning .rowely and their 40 crooks was raping the country.now all you get voice and only want the government to go.
The police probe needs to focus on the prime minister’s false claims that she did not have any knowledge of the Ag’s actions or about David West’s involvement in the matter. Unless we are in fact truly a banana republic any due diligence conducted on David West once he was short-listed to head the PCA would have unearthed the information and the PM would have been briefed about it.
Call it early call it late.. they are going DOWN. Btw** The word is BALD. When you want to call someone dunce, try to not sound it..
You feel she is a jackass like the last pm to call elections early.You fell that ball head dunce want to run a country with the oil price so low.Race have you all suffering.Well great
when the writing is on the wall ,what do you do start calling people names , no one here has been disrespectful up to now, and race have you seeing only race and not Trinidad and Tobago.
These ppl are crazy I think they can’t see
Call elections in fixin TnT.
You only have 1 member,and you want educated people to listen to your PNM rethoric?
Fixing TnT, is a PNM party group.
Why should she call elections? They did nothing wrong! It’s all Rowley and PNM propaganda! Our Government did in 4 years what the PNM couldn’t do in 40! Why throw away all that progress?
They did nothing wrong?Which rock have you been living under dude?If I were you I wouldn’t boast about what they did in 4 years either cuz their scandals were virtually on a daily basis oh and that’s what we know about
You mean they tief more in four years than the other did in forty?
Clearly you’re being sarcastic. .
Or as the young people say, “trolling.” But directed towards who?
Don’t think all other parties combined has done(stole) as much damage as this party! When they are finished raping t&t ,they’ll move to London and North America
Or Anil’s hotel! What country is that in again? And do we have an extradition treaty with them?
They don’t get tired calling for early elections? LOL.
Does get very stale after a while and loses its sting.
I’m in church on Sundays.And I ignore baseless threats and shady objectives.
This thread appears to have gone well off topic…
