WHY WAIT?

Raphael John Lall of the Guardian, why did you wait two days to get a response to the Port Authority's decision to change the way foreign used cars are packed in containers for shipment to Trinidad?
(http://guardian.co.tt/business1.html) "Foreign used dealers say car prices will rise".
That's what was missing from your original story.
The Port Authority chief said at the press conference on Tuesday that all stakeholders had been consulted about the new rules. Wasn't it a given that you should have contacted some of those same stakeholders for the original story and not left your readers wondering what those people thought?
