Welcome Move By Caricom Posted: Monday, January 14, 2002 www.nationnews.com THE DECISION of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) governments to become engaged in the current crisis of democratic governance with a functioning parliament in Trinidad and Tobago is to be highly commended. To have done otherwise would have been to breed more cynicism and disenchantment about CARICOM as a regional institution in the life of its peoples on whose behalf the leaders speak and take decisions with the hope of promoting a better future for all. Since the outcome of last month’s general election with both the People’s National Movement (PNM) of Patrick Manning and the United National Congress (UNC) of Basdeo Panday emerging with 18 seats each for the 36-member House of Representatives, there have been concerns by CARICOM for national efforts at co-operation that could prevent problems of governance at home and avoid negative impact for other member states.
