Kamla Persad-Bissessar - Page 9

At this time I wish to congratulate Mrs Kamla Persad-Bissessar on her victory. She has done what no other has done and she is the first female Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago. I hope she can keep the promises that she campaigned.

Yes, imagine she beat both Panday and Manning in around 6 months. Incredible.

Kamla Persad-Bissessar's speech was on target. I especially liked that she says she will lead the country with compassion and as a mother and grand-mother. She promised to not let the country down and to ensure everything is done in fairness and equity. My only hope is she chooses honest, empathetic, leaders and not anyone who just seeks to just stake a claim in cabinet for the sake of a dollar and position.

I don't think she is naive but with a majority of the people with her being men with strong personalities I am bit weary but only time will tell.

I like Kamla Persad-Bissessar's new look. Short hair style and dress. She reminds me of the lady who was Prime Minister of the Philippines for awhile. She reiterated that the election is over and she will not be looking at party cards. Kamla Persad-Bissessar also talked about reversing the order of things and needing all the people to come together to build a future worthy of passing on to our children. Kamla Persad-Bissessar hit Mannings tall buildings that development must be about the needs of people being satisfied and not tall buildings.

She has shown signs that she is a people's person today after the swearing in ceremony. When she exited the building the media was at the corner outside waiting to ask her questions. She stopped to answer them and realized that they (the media) were congested and she immediately took command and asked her security detail to make room for them (the media) for they cannot be treated this way (the crammed conditions she was talking about). She was also very patient and answered a lot of questions that was asked of her. I found she answered very properly and respectfully. She even delayed her meeting with the head of the Office of Disaster Preparedness and Management (ODPM) to speak to the media. Kudos Mrs Bissessar so far, you have started off on the right foot.

I take it you are moving away from being a fan of your devastated papa Manning and turning towards your new Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar?

Well I won't say that quite yet but as I said she has started off on the right foot. She is a woman and women are generally more nurturing and sympathetic than men. So there will be certain things that she will do that will be more humane and emotional. See how she handled the flood victims? I am not saying that the men would have turned a blind eye (well maybe they would have) but women will want to help out, personally if they have to. I won't be surprised if she will be hailed as the easiest Prime Minister to work with because she will lend an understanding ear rather than a cold shoulder.
