Some Things Never Change

I want to thank Mr. Sean Sobers for reminding me—yet again—why I stepped away from the United National Congress.

The name-calling. The backbiting. The desperate need to impress a failing cult leader instead of serving the people. It’s all still alive and well. And apparently, if you stand on principle or dare to think independently, you're no longer a comrade—you’re a "vagrant."

Let me be clear: I didn't enter politics to chant slogans or curry favour. I entered to serve. I’ve treated thousands of patients across this country, stood with constituents during floods, health crises, and loss. That’s not “passing through”—that’s showing up. That’s commitment.

If defending my former constituents and speaking truth to leadership makes me a political outcast, so be it. I’d rather be called a vagrant by Sean Sobers than be another "yes man" clapping on cue while the UNC continues to descend into chaos.

To those still fighting for internal reform and transparency: keep going. Trinidad and Tobago deserves leaders, not blind loyalists . We can’t fix the country if we’re too busy trying to silence each other.

To all the young people watching on during these General Elections—always choose service over sycophancy. Stand for something. Don’t just stand in line behind someone

Ensuring Water Access for Carmichael and Tamana Communities

Under the dedicated stewardship of Dr. Rai Ragbir, the Martin Road and Section 2 Road, Carmichael District water project has reached a major milestone. Residents in this long-affected area are now receiving a steady supply of water—a basic necessity that had been absent for far too long.

This WASA-led initiative is not only transforming lives in Carmichael but is also extending into the Four Roads, Tamana area, where households have endured years of unreliable water access. The ongoing works, captured in the video, showcase the installation of new pipelines—ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply for all.

As this project progresses, we remain committed to delivering meaningful improvements to these communities. Residents can rest assured that access to clean water is no longer a distant promise—it is now a reality.
