Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar: STAY STRONG LAW ABIDING CITIZENS OF MALONEY, YOU DESERVE TO LIVE IN PEACE FREE FROM VIOLENT GANGS. YOUR PRIME MINISTER LOVES YOU AND WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO KEEP YOU SAFE I want the law abiding citizens of Maloney to know that your Prime Minister loves you and your children very much. I consider you all my family and your children are my children. I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe and if that means using Special Operations to put down the gangs operating in your community, that is exactly what I will do. This is why last night the brave men and women of the TTPS and TTDF supported by the SSA launched special operations in the Maloney area within district 2. Today the Maloney community saw firsthand the cowardice of the gangs operating in their community. These gangs only terrorize law abiding citizens who don’t have the means to defend themselves. Not a single gang member had the courage to take on the brave men and women of the police and defence forces. Instead they hid like the cowardly bullies they are because that is their true nature, weakness. That is what happens when fake bad man meet real bad man. The UNC is determined to protect all our law abiding citizens. No man woman or child should have to flee for their lives in their own community from rampaging gangs shooting indiscriminately. For years the PNM and the sitting MP did nothing to protect the people of Maloney from being terrorized by violent gangs and criminals. The PNM never cared about their supporters who they view as a vote bank at election time. They are only interested in doing the bidding of the one percent owners of the PNM. The citizens of Maloney should be able to live happy lives in their community, free of fear and intimidation. If the PNM and their supporters don’t want the protection of the state security so be it. But as long and there is one law abiding citizen in any community who wants that protection, your prime minister and my government will move to provide it. I thank all the personnel involved in these operations and pray that god blesses you all with protection, strength and patience while you do your duty to protect the law abiding citizens of Maloney. #Safe #TT #protect - @pmkamlapersadbissessar
