OPPOSITION Leader Pennelope Beckles says the government is attempting to blame crime on People’s National Movement (PNM) constituencies.She was speaking yesterday at the PNM Sport and Family Day held at Nelson Mandela Park, Port of Spain.She said as soon as the new administration came into office they had a state of emergency declared and despite telling the population they had a crime plan “they have no crime plan”.Beckles said daily there was “a murder here and there”. She claimed the government wished to blame certain members of Parliament for crime in certain constituencies. Her comment was likely a reference to Attorney General John Jeremie’s statements in Parliament on May 13 that a member of a Belmont gang sparked a “national security incident” on May 8 which caused security at the Parliament to be beefed up and several Government officials to be placed under higher protection.During his contribution, the Attorney General spoke to the national security “incident” while defending statements by Defence Minister Wayne Sturge in Parliament on May 8, during which Sturge said the murders of a nine-year-old girl in Morvant and a two-year-old boy in Belmont were linked, and referenced ongoing gang warfare in constituencies represented by the PNM.Speaking about the Government’s ‘war’ against gangs and criminal elements, Jeremie said gangs were located in Westmoorings, Goodwood Park, and “in some of the other places I would not say who are the representatives for those areas”.Beckles said yesterday the Government was attempting to cause a distraction and because the UNC is in government they are responsible for dealing with crime. She added the Government wanted the population to believe crime was in PNM constituencies.“Absolute lie. Crime is taking place in every single corner of Trinidad and Tobago including in their own constituencies,” she said.She pointed out the Opposition had expressed its willingness to work with government on the crime issue but she said the government was not willing as they wished to blame the Opposition for crime.“If you have no plan you cannot solve the crime problem. And they have no plan,” she said.
