TRINIDAD & TOBAGO: Government faces mounting dissatisfaction
Two years after coming to power, Trinidad & Tobago’s People’s National Movement (PNM) government, led by Prime Minister Keith Rowley, is facing mounting popular dissatisfaction with its performance. The country’s recent poor economic performance no doubt has a lot to do with this, but so does the perception that the government is not getting on top of the problem of rising crime. Interestingly, corruption, another perennial problem recently highlighted by the arrest of former Attorney General Anand Ramlogan (2010-2015), does not appear to be a major concern for the public even though the government’s performance in combating corruption was considered to be ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’ by 79% of respondents questioned in a recent poll.
