In making such improvements we shall touch lives both locally as well as globally thereby improving lives from country to country.

Vote of thanks from the founder:

“The DAF Social Media Poll is designed to inform, educate and influence decision makers and opinion leaders on various matters engaging the public’s attention. This is not a politically influenced or aligned poll, and information is strictly for the betterment of humanity, and to help society’s leaders better understand their publics. The DAF Social Media Poll is a work in progress, and is the first online Social media Poll in Trinidad and Tobago, and maybe the Caricom. Social Media is the most powerful tool in today’s modern world. We recently saw the important role it played in collapsing the now defunct dictatorship government of Tunisia. This new and powerful medium is vastly different from what obtained in the 20th Century, and so too its boundaries are constantly being redefined, as each day progresses. We are hoping to find a way of working within the new world order. This poll continues to be alive and growing from the people who participate and request participation or recommend their friends to join, and for this we are eternally grateful. Many heads working to fulfill a purpose are better than one.”

Respectfully Submitted,

Introduction:

On January 22^nd, 2011 David AM Fraser executed the fifth poll for the group DAVID FRASER’S GROUP via Facebook. Members voted from January 22^nd, 2011 to January 23^rd, 2011. Questions regarding Trinidad and Tobago’s Peoples Partnership Government’s handling of the S.I.A Spy Chief appointment were asked. These two questions are being assessed in this report.

This report is being shared with you to ensure the transparency of relevant information is readily available to all contributors as well as members of David Fraser’s group. It is your participation that assists us in accomplishing our vision.

As indicated in our Vision Statement, we expect information hereby collated, be put into action plans with the intention of using such plans as a guide to an improved total life experience for all citizens and residents of Trinidad and Tobago. In making such improvements we shall touch lives both locally as well as globally thereby fulfilling our vision of improving lives from country to country.

This poll was formatted by way of asking two questions on GOVERNMENT’S HANDLING OF S.I.A SPY CHIEF APPOINTMENT.

Question 1is: Should the Prime Minister advise the President to revoke the appointment of Reshmi Usha Ramnarine as head of the Security Intelligence Agency (SIA)?

Question 2 is: Do you believe from the information carried in the media that Reshmi Usha Ramnarine is:-

1. Fit and Proper to do the Job as Spy Chief;
2. Unfit to hold such a post and should not have been hired;
3. Can’t say – Mixed opinions on the matter, need more information to make an assessment.
This report goes on to assess these responses.

Our Aim:

It is our aim to create awareness in a manner that is palatable to all concerned. Our goal is to show that government must ensure that they provide true, lasting trust between themselves and those whom they govern. If a government makes an appointment of someone who is insufficiently capable to perform the necessary duties, this produces lack of trust which corrodes relationships within society.

Government must realise that they are in the employ of those who elected them. Your contributions ensure they are reminded of such. With your opinions, perceptions as well as experience by way of your contributions to the DAF Social Media Poll, together we are improving lives and impacting nations for the better.

Methodology:

We collate information through every form of secure online media available to us in an effort to fulfill our aim. In so doing we are better able to assess issues as well as disseminate the said assessments in a timely fashion.

Assessment:

Members were requested to respond to two questions by indicating which number they chose in relation to the options that were open for selection as shown in Figures 1 through 4 below.

Question 1. Should the Prime Minister advise the President to revoke the appointment of Reshmi Usha Ramnarine as head of the Security Intelligence Agency (SIA)?

1. No. Keep Reshmi Usha Ramnarine = 12 %

2. Yes. Fire Reshmi Usha Ramnarine = 70%

3. Can’t say. Mixed opinions on the matter, need more information to make an assessment. = 18%

Secondly there has been insufficient information provided by authorities and media to give more consideration to her position. Thirdly the largest percent of contributors to this poll were of the opinion that she is unfit to hold the post of Spy Chief or should not have been hired in the first place.

Introduction:

On January 18^th, 2011 David AM Fraser executed the fourth poll for the group DAVID FRASER’S GROUP via Facebook. This online poll was open from January 18^th, 2011 to January 20^th, 2011.

This poll was formatted by way of asking the question on MANAGEMENT OF CRIME: “How would you rate government’s performance regarding the handling of Crime?” This report goes on to assess these responses.

Our Aim:

It is our aim to test the reasons for any less than desirable performance on the part of the Government in the matter of handling crime. In so doing we may be better able to understand the contributing factors which can aid in the fight against violence and gangs. With this understanding we will be equipped to decipher and then put into action what can improve the situation at hand. It is especially important to know what is driving the perception, since these are the underpinning reasons why public buy in is not higher than the figures illustrate.

It is the voice of the people that has the power to ensure positive change is implemented. It is your voice that has the power to reach the ears of those voted into office. With your opinions, perceptions as well as experience by way of your contributions to the DAF Social Media Poll, together we can impact nations in a healthier and optimal manner.

How would you rate government’s performance regarding the handling of Crime?

A SPECIAL THANK YOU:

A special thank you goes out to each member who contributed or attempted to contribute to the success of this poll. The success of this Social Media Poll depends highly upon your contributions and clarity in your representation of such contributions. We look forward to your continued participation.

DIFFICULTY EXPERIENCED:

Whilst most contributors were able to clarify whom they believe to be the best qualified to lead the COP at this time, there were 2 contributions that were unclear. In this situation this means that the contributors did not direct as to whether he/she was using option 7 as a selection.

Option 7 was; “7. Someone Else (Please state name)” thus illustrating the 3rd DAF Social Media Poll asked for contributors to name a person under selection 7. The lack of clarification within the group page on this matter led to that suggestion being omitted. The contributors did not say it was 7 that was chosen but made a suggestion for David Fraser to add a name. However the poll specifically asked certain questions. Therefore to ensure that this and future polls are just and fair, it is hereby requested that contributors clarify their position whilst polling. This will be much appreciated thus ensuring that the opinion of all contributors, are voiced with clarity.

HOW SAMPLE WAS TAKEN:

The sample was taken by way of information collated from the online contribution made by Members of David Fraser’s Group on Facebook. Members indicated their selections by voting through this group. Information was analyzed and presented in relation to the percentage of Members who casted their vote via this social media poll.

SAMPLE SIZE:
5.4 % of David Fraser’s Group voted on this poll through Facebook.

CONCLUSION:

This DAF Poll clearly indicates that the largest percent of votes by contributors to this poll during the allotted time are of the opinion that Winston Dookeran "is best qualified to be leader of the (COP) Congress of the People at this time.”
