The Prime Minister has a serious problem: her credibility is at stake.
Her problem stems from the promises that were made before the last election. In one sentence, the UNC under the (now) prime minister basically promised that they would make life better and less expensive for the people. A large majority of voters decided that they had had enough of Dr. Rowley and the PNM and decided either not to vote or to vote for the UNC.
The Prime Minister's present problem stems from the fact that ,so far, she has been unable since she took power to show or even tell the population exactly how she will make things better for the people.
Oh, we are hearing about fixing the easy things, like stamping out corrupt contractors. But we aren't hearing about the difficult things like creating more jobs, bringing down the debt, lowering interest rates, making things easier for the ordinary person when he/she goes to open a bank account, and so on. (This list is not meant to be exhaustive.)
If there is only one reason for politics, one reason for government: to make life better for the people - who can say honestly that his/her life is better right now than before the election? Of course it's "early days" and there was a lot that needed fixing - some might even say with a great deal of justification that there was too much - but The Prime Minister's problem is that she is running out of time. She gave the impression that she would and could fix all that needed to be fixed in a relatively short time. So far, there is no sign that things are going to get better. Of course, there are arguments that since our general election that things overseas have gotten worse and that President Drumpf's (the mis-spelling is deliberate) tariffs things are now set to make things worse - to which I can/will only say that it is really a good thing that Rowley and his minions aren't running the show any longer.
All I am saying now is that both the Prime Minister and her ministers need to come to us now to tell us what exactly they are going to do to fix things and when we can/will see that their ideas are indeed working. We understand that it is more difficult to fix something that is broken and that fixing things could take more time than it took to create the problem in the first place - but we need to know when we can expect to see some "daylight". Vague promises are not enough. We need to have a clear path to things actually getting better.
