Letter: Let's be fair in commenting on national affairs

It is ironic the things people complain about. 

Why question the PM's trip to India to strengthen international ties but not question how much money was left in the Treasury after the PNM (People's National Movement) vacated office? 

Why do we as a nation surround any venture with ethnicity, religious belief and biases?

Can we not see what the past administration has put us through? Or are we too afraid to admit it? 

The PNM gave us a true run for our money; they took and spent and we did nothing about it. Our ministries were operating heavily over budget, and all we had to show for our wasted taxpayers' dollars was the Hyatt hotel.

In all fairness, we have to remember that the present administration has been inducted into a set culture that was embedded by the PNM for over 20 years. 

Change is imminent but will take time to infiltrate itself among the nation. So before we question the PM's trip, let's think about the benefits we will reap in the long haul.
