THE EDITOR: Will Rishi Sunak usher in a new brand of politics for the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth of Nations, and the global community? He seems to showcase a new era of dialogue and leadership fortified with wisdom and understanding.

There are several challenges the new tenant at 10 Downing Street, faces in the coming weeks and months, most critical of all – saving the UK economy from collapse.

Sunak is typically a freshman in politics, considering he is only 42, yet he brings to that office, a confidence and belief that there can be change in British politics.

The world needs more freshmen politicians, and Sunak justly exemplifies this approach. Many are fed-up and tired with the old guard in our politicians and leaders, even in TT.

I am sure that Sunak would usher in "new politics" which the UK needs. New perspectives and new strategies could be what saves that country from economic ruin.

As he executes his assignment as Prime Minister, I know that Sunak knows he would be judged not only by the British people, but by the world at large especially given that he is the UK's first non-white PM.

Sunak's ascendency is the continuation of a changing world in terms of politics and leadership and follows the seismic shift in America, when a certain Barack Obama became that country's first black President and ruled in the Oval Office for two terms.

Sunak's heritage makes for interesting analysis in that while he is of East Indian ancestry, his parents were from East Africa. Although relatively young for a British politician, Sunak has already been tried and tested on the virtues of courage and being action-oriented in times of crisis, given that he was the UK's finance minister during the height of the covid19 pandemic.

His elevation, by whatever means or through whatever circumstances to the UK prime ministership has undoubtedly made the many millions in the East Indian disapora very proud. The weight of expectation would be heavy on his young shoulders, but Sunak must be given the chance to perform and cement his legacy in British politics.

With murders inching closer to the 500 mark, a joint parliamentary team is considering an Opposition proposal to haul in top government officials and law enforcement personnel to get answers on the seemingly out-of-control crime rate and what is being done to stem it.

Port of Spain South MP Keith Scotland, the chairman of the Joint Select Committee on National Security, in a letter to Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal on October 26, said he is prepared to discuss the proposal at the next meeting of the committee "as a matter of urgency."

[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="660"] MP Keith Scotland outside the Red House prior to the reading of the budget in Parliament. File Photo by Sureash Cholai[/caption]

Moonilal and Opposition senator Jayanti Lutchmedial had written to Scotland on October 25 after the Divali long weekend when 16 people were murdered. They requested the committee interrogate the Prime Minister, who is chairman of the National Security Council, National Security Minister Fitzgerald Hinds, the leadership of the police service, the heads of the intelligence gathering units including the Strategic Services Agency as a matter of urgency in order to ascertain what, if anything, is being done to curb the spate of senseless killings.

In response, Scotland said the committee is already looking at the factors that contribute to the prevalence of illegal guns and gun violence in Trinidad and Tobago and the issues raised by the Opposition may be compatible with the current enquiry. He said the committee "may be willing to consider using the earliest opportunity to interrogate" the issues relating to rising number of murders "at the earliest opportunity."

On the issue of who can be summoned to give account, Scotland said that was a matter for the consideration of the committee. He directed that the Opposition's request be sent to other members of the committee ahead of the next meeting which has not yet been scheduled.

The other members of the committee are Independent Senator Paul Richards, government MPs Kennedy Richards, Ayanna Webster-Roy and government senators Nigel De Freitas and Randall Mitchell.
