The Works and Infrastructure Minister and chairman of the United National National Congress expressed full support for the action taken by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Sunday.
He said, “Before now, no Government had the guts or will to take the fight to the criminals."
He acknowledged that people will face inconveniences of various degrees, but said it is all for the country.
“For over ten years, this country has been living in a self-imposed state of emergency, people have been going home and refusing to come out, and refusing to walk in certain parts of the country,” Warner said.
“Now we have made it official for a short period to bring the country back to a sense of normalcy,” he said. “This country will not bend to the criminals.”
Warner also said the state of emergency would affect some of the projects under his ministry’s portfolio.“It will affect drainage work and work on the highway as well as work in Princes Town, La Brea and Point Fortin,” he added. However he said work would be expedited on surveillance bays on the highway so police could take quick action on reports of criminal activities.
