Looking back, 2025 saw a significant surge in murders under a previous administration, reminding us that this is not a new problem. Now, with a new government in power, the promises made to reduce crime are coming under scrutiny as statistics show little improvement.

The discussion highlights the need for a genuine plan to tackle serious crime, moving beyond superficial measures. Join us as we analyze the situation, examining the legacy of past failures and the current challenges in making Trinidad and Tobago a safer place.

00:00I'm very concerned about the state of crime in the country.
00:05I think any objective analysis will and can conclude that the state of emergency has not
00:13been a success.
00:15I have said before and I've said it again that this government does not seem to have
00:21any real plan to reduce serious crime in Trinidad and Tobago and it goes to fundamental
00:29issues that have not been addressed and continue to remain unaddressed.
00:35I say that crime is not something that has popped up overnight.
00:39You have to be balanced.
00:42You know, 2025 was not a good year for murders in Trinidad and Tobago.
00:47That's when the People's National Movement was in power.
00:51That has to be said.
00:52On the other hand now, it's the United Congress who's been in power and they guaranteed during
00:57the election campaign that crime would be reduced and it's not being reduced.
