Minister of National Security Edmund Dillon has dismissed calls for him to resign over the current crime situation. The murder rate up to yesterday was 212 for the year.
He told reporters yesterday that anyone in a leadership position will always be subject to criticism.
“The decisions that you make will never always be pleasing to everyone but nevertheless, you have to make decisions.
“So those who criticise, that’s fine. Nothing is wrong with that. Be open to criticism. You can use criticism to build you, as a matter of fact.”
He was speaking at the T&T Prison Service Sports and Family Day at the Prison Service Sports Complex, Golden Grove Road in Arouca.
Dillon said he has spent 36 years in the Defence Force and has treated criticisms the same way he has treated compliments.
