President of the Greater San Fernando Area Chamber of Commerce, Kiran Singh, says the Zones of Special Operations bill should be reintroduced in some format to combat the crime situation, without burdening everyone.

Speaking to our reporter Cindy Raghubar-Teekersingh on High Street San Fernando today, he says while he supports the announcement of another State of Emergency, ZOSO would have affected mostly the areas within which the spikes in criminal activity are occurring.

00:00Maybe we can look to reintroduce Isozo on some sort of different scale because the whole country now is under
00:08state of emergency and it would affect the morale and the psychology of the citizens on the street and we
00:16now all have to bear that burden.
00:21As for the SOE, President of the Greater San Fernando Area Chamber of Commerce Kiran Singh hopes it will bring
00:27positive results.
00:29So we wait to see the outcome as to how long it will be in term four and hopefully we
00:36will see some positive outcomes out of the state of emergency as they seek to subdue the criminal elements that
00:44continue to affect us very negatively.
00:46We did notice the spiral of murder rates did start back after the state of emergency ended, the last one
00:51in January 21st, and we saw some serious crimes occurring.
00:56So let's see what will happen from today.
00:58Meanwhile, on High Street San Fernando on Tuesday, we spoke with a few people who shared a range of views
01:04on the SOE's implementation.
01:07I mean, just like this was the third one. So just like the last two, I mean, to the normal
01:12man on the street, it seemed as though we still have been affected by crime the same way.
01:16I think what she has to do, she has to do.
01:18I don't think it's a good idea at all because it doesn't make any sense. SOE still have murder taken
01:24place because it sends faith.
01:26I find it's, we can't have people like that. So we will live under SOE for the next 30 years,
01:31until 2030.
01:32I said, so, SOE, so, I don't know, they're trying something, maybe, you see, but they don't know how it
01:43is.
01:43Because they're attacking the young men on the road, but who bringing in the guns, who bringing in the cocaine,
01:50who bringing in the, I believe my little brother has enough money or funds to fund these guns and ammunition.
01:59It's actually somebody else from the top, the big fish, who am attacking the big fish then?
