People’s National Movement (PNM) Tobago Council leader Ancil Dennis is promising to create 7,000 new jobs “when” he is returned to office after the January 12 THA elections.

Addressing a PNM meeting in the electoral district of Roxborough/Argyle on December 11, Dennis, a former chief secretary, said that he is aware that one of the major issues faced across the island is unemployment. He said he knew too that due to some "unfortunate and deliberate" actions on the path of the current “Tobago People’s Partnership” administration, a number of people have lost jobs.

“We are here to tell you how we are going to flip the script and put Tobago first again.”
