New National Security Minister Stuart Young has said that law-abiding citizens far outweigh the criminal elements in society and citizens can therefore create positive changes to T&T through collaboration.
He made the statement while conducting a town meeting with staff members of his ministry’s general administration division. The meeting was held at the ministry on Tuesday.
He told staff members that they as a body were the ministry’s greatest asset as they provided valuable support to the ministry’s divisions and, in this regard, every single staff member had a significant role to play in supporting the ministry in securing citizens of T&T.
Young said while there was no singular solution to treat with crime, there were solutions. He also encouraged staff to think outside the box and to work towards finding ways to get the job done.
The minister also expressed hope for a high level of commitment and support from all staff.
Members of staff also had the opportunity to engage the minister directly, asking questions and voicing opinions. They also noted their appreciation to him for convening the meeting and receiving their feedback.
Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, he did a walk-through of the ministry at Temple Court 1, in Port-of-Spain on August 8 visiting various units and meeting with staff.
He also expressed his commitment to the ministry, staff and country.
