With respect to the emergency, the former Prime Minister said, "At this time, there is absolutely no justification for continuing the State of Emergency in Trinidad and Tobago. None whatsoever."
Manning spoke at a media conference at his constituency office in San Fernando. It was the second time in as many weeks that he has met the media to discuss national issues.
Last week the MP for San Fernando East apologised to the nation for his shortcomings during his tenure as leader of the government.
Manning, who is a born again Christian, tried to close down the casino industry during his tenure as PM.
He also raised an issue that he has brought up before - the seizure of drugs at the Point Lisas Port. He told reporters he will write the Police Complaints Authority for answers on the matter.
"We will seek to have the Police Complaints Authority go further to find out why we have had no answers on this and the exact state of these investigations," he said.
On the casino issue Manning wondered why law enforcement officials are not investigating them.
He also made an unsubstantiated charge of a link between casinos and the Government and called on the People's partnership to name any casino owner who contributed to the PP's election campaign.
