Stating that the stability of the country rests, not with gangsters, but with public servants, Public Services Association (PSA) president, Watson Duke, yesterday said public officers today are going through the same thing they went through during the National Alliance for Reconstruction’s (NAR) tenure. Recalling the ten per cent cut in public servants’ salaries in the late 1980s, he said: “Throughout the term of the NAR, public servants got nothing.
“There is some similarities between the NAR and the People’s Partnership (PP),” he said. “It’s deja vu for public officers...A one per cent cut in the context of 15 per cent inflation is like a 14 per cent cut. “We know what we have to do and we know how it will end,” Duke said at a press conference at the PSA’s Abercromby Street, Port-of-Spain, headquarters yesterday. (The NAR’s term in office ended shortly after Jamaat al Muslimeen insurrectionists staged a bloody coup d’etat in July 1990.)
“We have weapons of mass destruction,” he said. Asked what these weapons were, Duke replied: “We can’t talk that here...That is to be felt, not seen.” He added: “We are incensed. We are mad. Every single public officer has the right to be mad and hateful towards the Government.”

YASIN ABU BAKR, leader of the Jamaat Al Muslimeen, was last night charged with three offences, including sedition, arising out of statements he allegedly made at the Eid celebrations before a large gathering at his mosque last Friday.
The 64-year-old Bakr was also charged with inciting violence and using threatening language during the same incident at the Mucurapo Road mosque. The Jamaat leader will appear before a Port-of-Spain magistrate this morning to answer the charges.
Bakr was charged under Chapter 11:04 Section 3 (1) (C and D) of the Sedition Act.
