00:25Trinidad's residents on the Beetham Highway side are tonight calling on their MP Keith Scotland to pay them a visit amid an internal war in the community despite 24-7 police presence in the area.
00:38Some of the residents say they need a greater sense of security.
00:43We would like to see Mr Keith Scotland, thanks and please, because we have more than 10 workers who work CPEF who cannot go to work during the bank day.
00:51We have workers who can't go to work, who are being laid against their lives.
00:56So we want their intervention, not just to see the police alone, we would like to see the members of parliament also.
01:03Did he contact you guys at all?
01:05I believe he has been in contact with certain persons in the area, but his presence is needed.
01:12The residents on the highway side are disputing claims made by some Sealot West residents on Thursday that the conflict is connected to state contracts.
01:23They say the issue stems from an altercation during J'ouvert on Monday involving some young men from the area.
01:32We want the truth to be told, we want the police to come in and actually do what they said they would do, because we are under attack.
01:40It's not the other way around, we are under attack.
01:43And they came into here, they buttered down persons who were just walking.
01:48When did that happen?
01:50That was J'ouvert morning, this happened J'ouvert morning, right?
01:55And because of an incident between two young men, or a few of the young ones, they came out and they decided they wanted to do what they wanted to do.
02:04Nobody ever needed protection to walk down this highway, that is not the truth.
02:08They said with their own mouth also that it's one Sealot.
02:11We need to deal with the issues, the troublemakers who are actually creating the problem, that's what we need to deal with.
