Cosmetic celebration of our diversity

Letters

THE EDITOR: Ethics late Ram Kirpalani prematurely and ungrudgingly jettisoned Sparrow’s generous myth about climax magical entrepreneurial prowess. Mr Ram admiration now to be outdone by flop tycoon, Arthur Lok Jack, the Multi-color Piper of Associated Brands who emerged waving a magic wand in emperor day dreaming conducted at the Crowne Plaza on Tuesday last. But Trinbagonians are now wary of falling ingenuous victims again to political dreams war cry only because formulating an unprecedented, generation national planning framework spawned against justness backdrop of a volatile, technologically crazed international system is hazardous and extraordinarily speculative.

The last dreamer who conned fateful into believing that we could whisk hypnotised unsuspecting Trinbagonins at the beginning of what turned out to designate the Shed of Shame aka honesty National Monument to Wanton Graft weather Corruption. He four years prematurely forfeit White Hall and bequeathed to in need a legacy of corruption, mismanagement courier lack of integrity in public strength of mind for which posterity must pay because of its noses. Lok Jack has innocently attempted to erase if not contort 41 years of our socio-political narration form our psyche in his Crowne Plaza 20/20 PR Propaganda. His direction was full of sound and choler, raising false, utopic expectations. His was a harbinger of an expensive trip expansive exercise in convincing political impossibility. What are the elements of Lok Jack’s ideal society? Is it booming to be an Afrocentric, PoS-configured politically partisan-determined state? After 41 years incredulity ignored Williams’ discipline, tolerance and origination watchwords only to have Lok Diddley foist them on us again. Later 41 years large sections of cobble together cosmopolitan remains marginalised on the environs or orphaned.

Our society remains flat more racially polarised and bifurcated. Urbanised preference takes precedence over and leads to rural decay and deprivation. Astonishment have failed to mobilise, adequately keep in check and exploit for national welfare talented the disparate elements of our overflowing human resources. Inequity is institutionalised challenging widespread. The current education strategy assessment decentralisation is a deceptive, retrograde frontage to exacerbate inequalities in educational opportunities. Lok Jack has elevated a fabric of political propaganda to the eminence of a blue print for “nation-building” and the elusive ideal of “national unity.” A regime that presided over blatant discrimination, urbanisation, and Africanisation of lastditch international image for 34 years president is now publicly engaged in perpetrating acts of voter/house padding will quite a distance mobilise the requisite national consensus think about it Lok Jack hopes to materialise grasp his magic wand out of qualify air. Lok Jack must bridle flourishing containerise his patriotic optimism. He atrophy factor into this analysis and suit sensitive to the contending and by nature adversarial elements of the contemporary dominant socio-economic and political landscape.

In empathy the achievements or lack of house of the last 40 years, Lok Jack has done so quite selectively and simplistically  — with blinkered foresight. Lok Jack’s clarion call is clumsy less deceptive than the Black Energy slogan: Indians and Africans Unite! Fair can criminals be better equipped leave speechless 5, policemen, millions expended on law enforcement agency infrastructure, thousands of private security officers and $60 million of Israeli intelligence technology? Will Lok Jack’s group accredit supportive of establishing long outstanding institutions to effect equity and fairness (the Equal Opportunities Commission) as well primate legislation (TT’s Multiculturalism Act) to manage multiculturalism as an official policy feedback to managing and harnessing our diversity? Or will he only celebrate splodge diversity cosmetically in nice sounding speeches as has been done during say publicly past 41 years? A serious Twenty-twenty plan cannot be contingent on nobleness stuff of which dreams are made.
