#SlamSocialBulletin Former Attorney General Lawrence Ramesh Maharaj said yesterday that the run-off proposal in the Constitution (Amendment) Bill is a method for the Government to steal the next general election. “This a gimmick, a device to do fraud to steal from the people of Trinidad and Tobago the results of the elections ... If you start to steal elections in Trinidad and Tobago, well then we have no democracy ... The only reasonable inference and implication to be drawn is that the Government knows that on the basis of the present rules and laws, it cannot win the next general elections. It knows that the population and its supporters have lost confidence and trust in them as a Government,” he said. Maharaj said with the run-off voting, there is the risk that the business community would lose its investments and the economy would be irreparable damaged or destroyed.
