[Hon. C. Robinson-Regis] APPROPRIATION (FINANCIAL YEAR 2021) BILL, 2020 [Third Day] Order read for resuming adjourned debate on question [October 09, 2020]: That the Bill be now read a second time. Question again proposed. Ms. Vandana Mohit (Chaguanas East): [Desk thumping] Thank you very much, Madam Speaker, for your recognition and let me also take this opportunity to congratulate you on your reelection as the Speaker of this august House. Madam UNREVISED 2 Appropriation (Financial Year 2021) 2020.10.12 Bill, 2020 (cont’d) Ms. Mohit (cont’d) Speaker, I would like to thank God for his continuous blessings upon me, one of which I am experiencing at this very moment. I also wish to express my profound gratitude to the Leader of the Opposition for her continued faith in me as a representative and let her know that despite the negative remarks by some, she has stood in front of us, to the side of us, and at the back of us guiding us and for her we will do the same. [Desk thumping] Madam Speaker, to the place and the people who reside in my heart, Chaguanas East. I thank you for your support as a councillor, your mayor and now your faith in me as your parliamentary representative for Chaguanas East. You have definitely shown that no last minute handouts and no rush to fulfil the needs of your community could have grabbed your love and appreciation for hard work. [Desk thumping] You have definitely demonstrated that we are in a new era of politics and governance by allowing youth to be victorious over claimed experienced. [Desk thumping] I say to you, together we shall continue our journey of live, work, grow in our wonderful electoral district of Chaguanas East. Madam Speaker, whilst I would have preferred my maiden speech to be under normal circumstances, life is no longer normal. Madam Speaker, this 2020 budget is not normal. Billions spent on COVID relief, definitely not normal. The PNM Manifesto of 2015 stated that the aim of the PNM was to reduce poverty and improve social justice. However in 2020, the PNM has increased poverty and lowered social justice, more so in this 2020 budget. Madam Speaker, I would like to elucidate on some aspects of the 2020 budget as it pertains to the social sector. I would have listened attentively to the Minister of Social Development and Family Services during this debate. To summarize the description of what was presented, I can simply say content full of UNREVISED 3 Appropriation (Financial Year 2021) 2020.10.12 Bill, 2020 (cont’d) Ms. Mohit (cont’d) mamaguy and no mathematics. [Desk thumping] Painting a picture well put together whilst thousands are sitting out there awaiting their next meal, hiding the poverty that really exists out there in this nation. Madam Speaker, this Government must remember they scraped their way into governance with just 22. [Desk thumping] They have lost ground. If such is the case you must understand that you are not doing something right, the trouble out here is real, broken promises, it can no longer be your answer. But no, Madam Speaker, one month after winning a general election the citizens of this country have been faced with what is described as a feet in the sky budget, simply not grounded. The Ministry of Social Development and Family Services, Madam Speaker, was formerly called the Ministry of the People and Social Development under the People’s Partnership Government. This is because we cared about people. [Desk thumping] Based on the treatment of our social safety one has to wonder if this Government has any care for the people of Trinidad and Tobago. Madam Speaker, just to look at the tax break which appears to be a noble gesture of the Government. In speaking to the people of Chaguanas East and I refer to Chaguanas East because I am on the ground every day in Chaguanas East, and this which appears to be a noble gesture does not impact on the man on the street whose income is $36,000 annually. Madam Speaker, how many people would benefit from this tax break? If you look at a savings of $3,000 per year, divide that by 12, that is $200 per month. You now have to buy sanitizing materials; you now have to deal with increased food prices; you now have to deal with purchasing laptops for your children; you now have to deal with paying for transportation as well. Madam Speaker, what UNREVISED 4 Appropriation (Financial Year 2021) 2020.10.12 Bill, 2020 (cont’d) Ms. Mohit (cont’d) significant help is this to the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago? This simply further exasperates the plight of the poor man, the vulnerable and socially displaced of which the group is becoming wider in this country. But, Madam Speaker, these are areas I would leave my colleagues to focus on. My main focus however is on the Government social sector. Madam Speaker, let us look at the recurrent allocation for the Ministry of Social Development and Family Services. Madam Speaker, you have an allocation in recurrent of $5 billion of which Personnel Expenditure is that of $1.1 billion and Goods and Services, $2.2 billion. Madam Speaker, if you look at this, this is approximately 65 to 70 per cent of the allocation being consumed by overheads and operating expenditure before a $500 grant can be disbursed to the poor man. Madam Speaker, let me validate my statement with the Estimates of Expenditure, page 386, $1,132,180,000 and page 388, $2,209,700,000 making up 65 to 70 per cent of the recurrent allocation before a $500 grant can reach the poor man. Madam Speaker, from a cursory perusal of the said estimates it summarizes at best a mere 5 to 10 per cent of $5 billion in recurrent allocation reaching the poor and needy. Madam Speaker, what initiatives are contemplated to alter the ratio in a more favourable position by this Government. For example, for every $100, an upward of $90 goes into overhead expenditure whilst a mere $10 goes into actual direct relief. Can this be considered good cost-benefit analysis, Madam Speaker? Madam Speaker, mind you the Minister of Finance spoke of a multi-faceted social safety net. Madam Speaker, what social development are we speaking of? What family services are we speaking of in this budget? The Minister of Social Development and Family Services boasted about billions being spent on COVID. UNREVISED 5 Appropriation (Financial Year 2021) 2020.10.12 Bill, 2020 (cont’d) Ms. Mohit (cont’d) We are asking when, where and how, Madam Speaker. [Desk thumping] If such is tangible enough today we reiterate, allow the forensic audit to take place on the funds spent on COVID-19 relief. Madam Speaker, to get a wheelchair in this country representatives will know you need a friend in the ODPM, yet still, majority of the recurrent allocation is for the operations of the Ministry. Madam Speaker, as a mayor I delivered 1,100 hampers without any allocated funding. [Desk thumping] Madam Speaker, if I was a Minister and had to boast about 1,400 hampers, I would be embarrassed. [Desk thumping] Misguiding the population, emergency hampers provided to 1,400 families to make it sound like plenty. The Ministry will give one hamper per family or per household as you may call it. So that is not 1,400 families, it is 1,400 hampers. Madam Speaker, let us go to temporary and permanent food card stress in this country. The Government boasted on previous occasions about their recertification, which is not even scientific. They boasted it wiped 18,900 persons from the system, reducing recipients from 45,500 to 26,600. Madam Speaker, look at CNC3 today. You have families pleading, help my children to eat, help my families. We have School Feeding Programme in this country. Let us ask, how many students have been left behind? Yet you present in this House and you claim to leave no one behind. How many students in the School Feeding Programme were left behind, Madam Speaker? [Desk thumping] Madam Speaker, we are now in a position in this country where persons are facing asset risk and I repeat, persons are facing asset risk and becoming income poor and we can relate this to the Government because we can see when the Government is becoming income poor what they look to do; p ut up our assets for sale and it is the same thing happening to our citizens, their assets are becoming at UNREVISED 6 Appropriation (Financial Year 2021) 2020.10.12 Bill, 2020 (cont’d) Ms.

Reverend Davidson Bowen gave this message during a virtual service hosted by St. Christopher Anglican Church on the Second Sunday of Lent. The theme of the sermon was “Get Behind Me Satan”, and the Reverend referred to Matthew 16 v 23, where Jesus told Peter the memorable quote. In his sermon, Rev. Bowen noted that too often Christians imagine Satan as a black or red little guy, with a pointed tail and a pitchfork on their left shoul- der, encouraging people to do the wrong things.
