MINISTER of Youth Development and National Service Foster Cummings used the occasion of the launch of the recommissioned Basilon Street Youth Development Centre to complain about the media's coverage of the area, in his address on April 10. However minutes later, he urged residents to stop murdering each other.

"The media! Stop only putting murders on the front page! Give us a front page and put Basilon Street Youth Facility where positive things will be happening for the young people of Trinidad and Tobago. Put that on the front page! Papers will still sell!

"What pride do we have in our society when the negatives that affect us and we are all trying to solve, every day it has to be plastered in our face?"
