Moruga/Tableland MP Michelle Banjamin has taken Tourism Minister Randall Mitchell to task over recent statements in the Senate she labelled ‘out of touch’. In a statement, Benjamin said rather than suggesting a ‘reality check vacation’ for citizens, government ought to recognise that many citizens are struggling to make ends meet. “We don’t need comparisons to the US or Canada. What we need is real leadership that prioritizes crime reduction, job creation, and a better standard of living for everyone,” the MP said.She said it was disappointing that the Minister would say that Trinbagonians should travel abroad to better appreciate the apparent “sweet” life citizens enjoy here. “In a time when our country is grappling with rising crime, staggering levels of joblessness, high food prices and an economy that leaves so many wondering how they’ll make ends meet, Minister Mitchell’s solution is for citizens to experience higher prices overseas, as though that would somehow make life back home more bearable. Is this the only response the PNM has to offer? “At least you’re not living in the US or the UK.” It’s an insult to the people of Trinidad and Tobago who wake up every day facing the grim realities of this government’s failed policies,” Benjamin said. The Moruga/Tableland MP took aim at the Tourism Minister for pointing to foreign lands as a comparison while the average citizen is concerned about crime in their backyard and food prices. “A far better solution would be for this government to boost our local tourism sector, which has vast untapped potential,” she said. Benjamin continued: “We have beautiful, untouched beaches, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant festivals, all of which could draw visitors and create jobs for our citizens. Investing in eco-tourism, improving infrastructure, and promoting domestic travel would not only stimulate our economy but also provide citizens with affordable vacation options at home, rather than suggesting they look abroad.” The MP accused the government of mismanaging key economic opportunities, the tourism sector included.She called on the administration to put the needs of the citizenry first, to ensure a better standard of living for everyone.
