00:00MP Christian Birchwood tells the TV6 Morning Edition the attack is horrific and reflects
00:06a wider and ongoing problem across Trinidad and Tobago.
00:11These issues are not just facing laventily smoother, it's facing the wider nation as
00:17it stands, right, so I believe we as a people, we failed, we failed.
00:23He stresses that this type of violence is not common in his constituency.
00:29Personally, I've lived there my entire life, 37 years, and from my observation, I haven't
00:37seen an increased effort per se to police the area, probably because the victims were
00:44not from the constituency, you know what I'm saying, it's not that, this is normal like
00:49I said before, and the police will know that, if they look at this, it is not a normal occurrence.
00:54The MP contends that as the government approaches its one-year mark in office, there has been
01:00no substantial progress in dealing with crime.
01:03Unfortunately, ministers blowing in plastic bags, making weird banana analogies, just not
01:14taking it serious at all.
01:15Weird, weird banana analogies.
01:16Weird, exactly, I have to say it as it is, making weird statements and not addressing, they've
01:23presented everything, and what they have not presented to date is a crime plan, which is what
01:28the campaign done.
01:29The campaign done having all the answers.
