FORMER national security minister Fitzgerald Hinds has dismissed critics of the Government's decade in power, saying he and the People's National Movement (PNM) have nothing to be ashamed of.

Hinds was speaking at a PNM election campaign meeting at the Success Laventille Secondary School on Wednesday.

'I told a man yesterday, as I tell you tonight, I hear them criticising our Government and talking about the last ten years. I want to put on public record: I am not ashamed! I have nothing to be ashamed about! The People's National Movement managed the affairs of Trinidad and Tobago in the most difficult times and we fared pretty well inside of it-nothing to be ashamed about!' he thundered, as the crowd cheered and blew horns in loud support.
