Business groups: Deal with Tobago crime before it crushes tourism, economy
TOURISM is the lifeblood of Tobago’s economy. The island’s unique, indigenous heritage, picturesque beaches and renowned historic landmarks have made it an ideal destination for visitors both at home and abroad. But that reputation is being threatened by an upsurge in murders and other violent crimes, the likes of which Tobago have never experienced before, stakeholders contend. On July 8, three men were gunned down in Black Rock while playing a card game outside of a shop along the main road. A fourth died at the Scarborough General Hospital the following day. The killings, in just seven months, pushed Tobago’s murder toll for 2024...

Tobago Chamber head: Stop blaming Trinidad
TOBAGO Chamber of Commerce chairman Martin George yesterday called on Tobagonians to stop saying that Trinidad gangs were “infiltrating” Tobago and accept that “we are raising and breeding our own home-grown bandits”. He also urged the Government to pass legislation to proclaim the Tobago Police Bill or to make the necessary amendments to the Tobago House of Assembly Act so that a supplemental police force could be set up on the island. George was sought by the Express yesterday for his response following yesterday morning’s triple homicide which occurred in Black Rock, Tobago. The murders pushed Tobago’s murder toll to 15 for the...

TOBAGO is breeding criminals. Tobago Business Chamber president Martin George made the statement on Monday following a triple murder in Black Rock. George said Tobagonians must take their head out the sand and realise the gravity of the situation. George said, “Tobago, we have to stop making the excuses that we are accustomed to making. We have to stop saying that it is gangs from Trinidad infiltrating Tobago, we have to stop burying our heads in the sand whereby we refuse to acknowledge that we are raising and breeding our own home-grown bandits in Tobago." The island was left in a state of...

Chamber head: Tobago crime locally bred
The chairman of the Tobago Business Chamber has urged Tobagonians to confront the harsh reality that recent violent crimes are locally bred, dismissing the notion of blaming Trinidad-based gangs for the island’s escalating murder rate. “Once again, we are seeing the scourge of crime and criminality touching our beautiful island of Tobago,” Martin George told Guardian Media yesterday after the quadruple murder in Black Rock. He warned Tobagonians, “We have to stop making excuses that it’s gangs from Trinidad. We have to stop burying our heads in the sand and acknowledge that we are raising and breeding our own homegrown bandits in...

Chamber: THA budget either ambitious or farcical
CHAIRMAN of the Tobago Business Chamber Martin George has described the THA’s $3.95 billion request as “aspirational and ambitious at best and fanciful and farcical at worst.” In a video statement on June 26, George said Tobago’s population represents about 5.07 per cent of the national population, and if one goes back to Hansard to look at the recommendations of the Dispute Resolution Commission (DRC) as far back 2000, it recommended a range of 4.03-6.9 per cent as the range in which Tobago’s budgetary allocation should fall. He said: “If one were to do the straight-line demographic analysis and applying the Chief...
