Machel Montano may be the happiest man alive among the happiest people in #happynation which must include significant numbers of happy women, too, (if one is to go on his video in which he seems to be the only man alive!) Yet this national state of being is not reflected in the Happy Planet Index nor the World Happiness Report promoted by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network initiative of United Nations where Trinidad and Tobago ranks somewhere at number 130 among 151 countries assessed – believe it or not!
But then, Bhutan - the country whose development philosophy is based on Gross National Happiness (as opposed to the standard material assessment: Gross
National Product) and upholds the need for recognition of mental and emotional
wellbeing of citizens as a primary goal of governance – does not even feature
in these global assessments whose methods and assignments of value then become
questionable.
For Trinidad and Tobago, the carnivalesque assertion of the right to
happiness reflected in Machel’s ode to happiness, Happiest Man Alive, (linked here for easy reference, claiming no rights to the video) has always been, it seems, in a tug-of-war,
with governance.
In fact, the heritage of disapproving mechanisms of state that seem
designed to stampede on the quest for happiness, has established a habitual tug-of-war
between them and the national state of being, so evident in the rebellion,
rejection of authority and its instruments in not only the creative expressions
of Carnival and other aspects of the culture and creative sectors that form the counter culture to governance reflected in Montano’s song of that name, but
which we see in those other areas where we expect order and discipline – in
sports, in schools, even in churches (‘if the priest could play, who is me’!)
for example.
In the five decades since Independence – not unlike the decades that
preceded it - such ingrained challenges to the ideology of governance and the
body politic as oppressive to natural and cultural rights have seen recurring manifestations in the cultural arena – the calypso stage, Carnival (Minshall’s annual
declarations of ‘banning the Savannah’); in Lord Superior’s epic battle with the
State’s approach to media, and in general perceptions of social recalcitrance. Indeed,
it is a long list that underpins the pervasive perception that successive
governments have no control over the society, and the belief too, that maybe
they ought not, as any attempt at what may seem to be an imposition
of order is highly resisted.
The rewrite-the-Constitution process then ought to involve both intensive review that
reflect an understanding of the past that have fed the cultures of antagonisms
and contentions that have ensnared our society in querulous state of high
tension, counter-productive jamming and mash-up mode, so as to allow for re-visioning
and refashioning the emperor’s tools that would help shape our future.
The Honourable President of the Senate in his response to that blog on
futuring acknowledged that the increasing importance of our diaspora therein identified
may be addressed through rethinking the section n the Constitution on
Citizenship (Chapter 2). But the issue is certainly broader and deeper than
that. Our expanding metaphysical borders through diaspora, is only one
component of the dissolution of borders and the challenge to territorial
borders in an expanding global village that has expanded currency in such notions as global citizenship. The notion of citizenship is only one element
that is clamouring for reconsideration in the ideologies of governance in the
world before us.
Media/Culture Specialist Dr Kris Rampersad speaks at Telecommunications Organisation 25th Anniversary |
From its preamble, the Constitution goes on to lay down the formations,
roles and functions of those pillars of governance: The President, Parliament,
Cabinet. Its third dimension is a financing mechanism; and the fourth is a
confused selection of administrative, watchdog and appeal instruments set up as
checks and balances that include the Judiciary, Director of Public
Prosecutions, Ombudsman, and Appeals Board and various commissions. All of
these have come under tremendous pressure, moreso in the last decade with
constitutional and political deadlocks, tumbling commissions and commissioners etc. All are being exposed as glaringly ineffective and blatantly
wanting.
The inability of the tottering Integrity Commission, for instance, to
find secure footing on solid ground, is only one of the symptoms of the crises in our institutions and the need for reconfiguration of this operational machinery that are similarly
reflected in the challenges facing the other Commissions identified in the
Constitution - Police, Teaching and Public Services, Salaries Review, Integrity,
Election and Boundaries and the like. It begs the question: In a state in which
the centre cannot hold, what may one expect of the periphery? Do these still hold
as the core required administrative subsets of governance in our times, or should
some other?
Then too, the growing clamour for people and more active civil participation
in governance would have been nowhere in the core thinking of the architects of
a Constitution 50 years ago, then with only a handful of higher-educated doctors and
lawyers, not as now when almost any can be assured of a place in one or other degree mill.
In the current consultations, there is some recognition of the need for
reconfiguring the institutional structure in the proposals put forward by
Senator Timothy Hamel Smith in his recommendation for a Civil Society Board, expansion
of the committee system and engaging broader representation through the Senate,
although they are force-fitted into the niched mould of a quasi-Presidential
system. The recommendations of the Constitution Reform Committee has most
significance in its recognition that the high sounding notes of the preamble to
the Constitution is at variance with its body and the instruments it sets up. But there is need for more than a few baby steps to reform if we are tho keep up with the pace of global change.
A poetic calyso tribute toDerek Walcott poetry The Mighty Spoiler link https://goo.gl/WXbMpv |
A top-heavy system with a sluggish implementation machinery is enough
of a foundation for failed statedom, though the finger for such sluggishness
has always instead pointed to the Trini pursuit of happiness – a condition that
usually provokes the authoritative frown of disapproval. In fact, it is often considered
counter-productive though to date no adequate instrument has been designed or
attempted to measure and index the level of energy and value of the creativity emitted
and how that factors into National Happiness as opposed to the GDP/GNP assessments
that place oil and gas as the prime contributors to national development. Incidentally,
the idea of the pursuit of happiness is borrowed from the American Declaration of
Independence and is nowhere stated, nor condoned, in national ideology. Addressing
that dissonance might bring us closer to the Constitution we want for a society
we want.

It is no wonder that the Bill of Rights and the sexual rights lobby has
the reformers', and the media’s, knickers in a twist, so it has surfaced as a core
issue of the Constitutional review process. On that note, it may be well worth
the media’s time to assert its own Fourth Estate rights to be happy and avoid
future worry. As the possible First Estate of the Future, the media has yet to
do justice to engaging the population in the broad range of rich contributions
that have entered the arena of Constitutional Reform discussions and explore proactively
(rather than its accustomed reactivity) and proffer its own recommendations on elements
of the Constitution that so directly impact its operations. Hopefully, that
could be done in measured decibels that would distinguish such discussions and
debates from the (accustomed) noise-making.
