Covid Parties, potholes and Vandana Mohit

Welcome to #RedwallNews, the show that's more useful than the president of Trinidad and Tobago.

Across the nation, Covid-19 cases continue to multiply faster than rabbits. Yet the parties continue. There are rumours of parties, families gathering in large numbers and bars closing their doors with customers inside. So people could watch cricket. WTF? Even among families, the regulations allow a maximum of 5 people. Honestly, I thought the number was 10. So, Mommy, Daddy, if you all are reading this: please don't check me.

Transport Minister Rohan Cinnamon says one of his top priorities is working with WASA (WASA) to fix potholes.

What's up with the government's failure to pay grants? There're problems with the salary relief grant and this matter of 50 million dollars owed to hotels and guesthouses in Tobago. Now, Hotel School or TITTI is closing down permanently. The closure is linked to two things: the pandemic; and the government's apparent failure to honour grants owed to the organisation. Over 13 million dollars, which, by the way, was approved in national budgets for the fiscal years 2017, 2018, and 2019

Colm Imbert returns as the Minister of Finance. And Budget day is just around the corner. Trust me: Go and buy your Vaseline.

Tim Gopeesingh has tested positive for Covid-19.

The incoming minister of education is talking about looking at the Concordat and the SEA exam. Good luck, Minister.

The PNM is calling on Vandana Mohit, the new elected Chaguanas East MP, to apologise for a Facebook Post that's since been deleted. Here it is:

 I can show you because people had the presence of mind to screenshot the post:

Vandana, with all due respect, Ma'am, as a past mayor and future MP, that was a terribly stupid thing to say.

And don't tell me you don't know what you were thinking, because I know you had time to think about it. You see, on Facebook, when you were creating that post, the background, which "looks" like a drawing of the coronavirus, isn't on the first page. You have to click to see more options looking for it. And! you had to go back to the post and press enter to get Karma on a new line.

What's equally disappointing is the 63 likes, loves, and laughing faces. You're telling me that you don't have one PNM friend; one PNM friend to click the angry face?

And why you even bring Karma into this?

Poor Ravi B. You probably confused him when he read that post.
