FORMER sen sup Roger Alexander said he hopes to help bring security to TT, speaking publicly moments after filing his nomination papers to be the UNC candidate for Tunapuna in the April 28 general election. He was accompanied by yellow-clad, vuvuzela-blowing supporters to the Election and Boundaries Commission (EBC) returning officer at the Upper El Dorado Community Centre on April 4.

"This is the beginning of the process where I intend to remove the dark clouds that are over not just Tunapuna but TT. The cloud that has caused families to be separated by death, businesses that are afraid, families that are afraid to walk the streets, children that are afraid to go to school, teachers that are afraid to teach," Alexander told supporters.

"Police cannot do their job. The fire service cannot get the job done. The coast guard has to watch and the list goes on.
