To Vote Like We Party MultiCultural Face of Politics in Trinidad and Tobago
It is Independence month but one would hardly know that from the gibbering gabbering gibberish or in the Queen’s GEngbrish, jibber-jabber, gobbledygook emerging from the islands.
The MultiCultural Face of Trinidad Politics Represents Distortions by Media and other opinion leaders on the nature and character of the island Trinidad
It is the month in which we remind ourselves of the dream of Independence and renew our comittment to nation. To help rally round the nation, countries, as ours, developed a National Pledge, National Anthem, National Symbols, National Songs Coat of Arms, Motto, Constitution and National Flag. All are meant to evoke patriotism and pride. To inspire to achieve together. To understand the place of the individual in the collective community and society.
They marked the point of throwing off the yolk of colonial rule, the legacy of slavery.
In Independence month we renew our focus and commitment to the values enshrined therein. Fifty eight years on we are stil lfaced with the challenge to rebirth the nation and renew the vows pledged to create the society envisioned by those who envisioned the nations.
Much has been said of the need for Constitutional Reform, espcially in times like these when elections expose the inadequacy of the voting system designed for a society much less complex than the diverse multicultural complexion as ours.
Yet, with an understanding of the ever-present threat of human fallacy, the Constitution does provide checks and balances against overexploitation of power. Through independent institutions established as gatekeepers and watchdogs over the agents of State – the Executive/Government; the Legislature/Parliament and the Judiciary/Legal System.
These are The Office of the President itself with his/her Independent Senators, the Election and Boundaries Commission, the Director of Public Prosecution, The Ombudsman, Auditor General, the Judiciary, Judicial and Legal Services Commission and other Service Commissions of Oversight on actins of Police, Prisons, Teachers, the Integrity Commission.
They were meant to maintain the balance of power and the balance of trust that people, in committing to nationhood, vests in Governments and institutions, which our gender blind Constitution defines as ‘men and institutions’.
If these operated within their perameters, in service as was envisioned, it would be enough for our small islands to be the exemplar we like to hold up of other countries.
For much of our past 58 years we have often have to question the independent spirit of our independent country which vests trust in independent institutions.
When the men and women in these sacred secular offices shirk in their assigned task, we have the country we now do. The defects and limitations in the Constitution has often been blamed, but it is the will and wisdom of the ‘men and institutions’ that frame the national psyche is where responsibility rests.
The interlocking interrelations in our small island state, coupled with individual fallacies and human frailties and foibles are ignored, ripped apart, exploited, contorted to feed and serve narrow interests far removed from the vision of the founding fathers and mothers of the nation.
The liberation of media to accommodate voices of all have merely parrotted narrow national visioning, echoing the devisive bicameral chambers of the two-party Westminster system on which we have stamped our own dimensions of divisiveness that even the colonials could not envision. Independent institutions have become a feeding trough and playground for bigots and fools. Much like the dream of Independence.
The yet emerging challenges and escalating crisis from the Novel Corona Virus Pandemic requires a new generation of visionaries who can look through and beyond the past and renvision and reposition our nation into a novel more path for next generations.
The sudden rapidly shifting the axes of economic, social, educational, cultural, and indeed political norms – demands renewal as a core characterise the recovery and Post Pandemic Planet.
Who are up to the task of reshaping our independence and our boundless faith?
