Who the Hell Is Patrick Manning?

This is what happen (in my own words) Mr. Manning is in a barber shop the radio is playing in the background and the two DJ’s announcers are complaining about the cost of gas for vehicles that the average consumer uses, they go on about the cost of CNG conversion kits and all while inferring that Mr. Manning was to blame for additional expense on the consumers pockets. In the last budget presentation the Government of Trinidad and Tobago increased the cost of premium gasoline. Justifying the increase by saying that the average consumer doesn’t use premium gasoline. Apparently Mr. Manning did not like what he heard so he enquired of the barber the name of the radio station and personally visited the station after he concluded his business in San Fernando.

After Mr. Manning complained in person at the radio station, the station held its own investigation and as a result the two (2) DJ’s were suspended.

Now this is my problem, why did Manning have to go there personally? He is the Prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago; his person visit ensured that the two DJ’s were suspended. Why did he not use the normal route for making complaints? Can we as ordinary citizens do the same, why shouldn’t we follow the Prime Minister’s example? Is it because as he said “I run the country” he could do what he wants? Mr. Manning I have a complain the cost of food stuff for the ordinary man is to high, criminals in the country has killed over four hundred (400) people I have a problem with that it offends me that so many of my fellow countrymen have been killed and it seems that you can do nothing about it may I come to your office and complain anytime?

If you run this country as you say be a proper example and follow the right procedures, complain you should if you are offended everyone should but there are rules and you must follow it, even you Mr. Patrick Manning. Arrogance does not become you or perhaps, that is the real Patrick Manning.
