Public discontent is growing over the unexpected doubling of traffic fines, a move that has been exacerbated by the remarks of Stuart Young, who criticized Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for making decisions when the nation was preoccupied. Young accuses the Prime Minister of duplicity, claiming she criticized high traffic fines while in opposition and promised relief for drivers, but approved increases of up to 100% without public notice or justification once in power. These changes were enacted just before Christmas and became effective at the start of the new year, a move that critics argue minimized public scrutiny. Young also highlighted other issues like increased food and alcohol prices, job losses, cancelled steelpan sponsorships, and higher utility costs, portraying a situation where common people bear the brunt while being told they’re ‘winning.’
