00:00 Opposition leader Kamala Biswas are keeping with her budget response theme
00:05 that there's no prosperity without security tells Prime Minister Dr. Keith
00:09 Rowley it is time he assumes the Ministry of National Security
00:16 Rowley was his boss, he should take over the Ministry of National Security
00:22 and still Mr. Haynes, the most vivid depiction of abject failure in national office
00:28 remains as Minister of National Security. On behalf of these honoured nationals, I urge Prime Minister Keith Rowley to dismiss Mr. Haynes
00:38 and he himself, Mr. Rowley, should assume the position of Minister of National Security
00:44 Rowley must man up and show some leadership in this most critical area
00:51 She says he must work with other stakeholders to get a handle on crime
00:55 yet she laments the PM's budget presentation
00:59 This speech was the most embarrassing speech by a Prime Minister in a budget debate we have ever heard in our history
01:06 This man is fighting and attacking everyone in this country, besides the criminals
01:12 He voiced no empathy for the thousands of families who have lost innocent loved ones
01:17 in horrible homicides, home invasions, blatant street attacks and other dastardly crimes
01:24 There are absolutely no concern of the impact of crime on business owners
01:29 She points out that Dr. Rowley's presentation was void of mention of the brazen attempt on the life of Deputy Prisons Commissioner Sherwin Bruce
01:38 The criminals have no fear of the authorities and no respect for the hopeless leadership of the National Security Minister, Mr. Gerald Haynes
01:47 nor of the Prime Minister as head of the National Security Council
01:52 The attempt to kill Mr. Bruce suggests that organised criminal gangs are involved
01:58 They think they could train their high-powered gangs and top officers of law enforcement and he would capture
02:04 The opposition leader says she remains willing to meet with the government on crime as promised
02:10 We are ready, willing and able. We have always been ready, willing and able
02:15 However, the Prime Minister promised in his letter to me that before we meet, he would send his proposals
02:23 Today is the 12th of October. I responded to him since the 28th, I believe, of September
02:32 26th of September and to date, no response, no proposals
02:37 Mrs. Pisan Besasa accused the Finance Minister of misleading the country in winding up the budget debate
02:43 when he insisted that the economy grew
02:46 She maintains that data show the GDP has decreased, unemployment has increased, food prices have increased
02:54 and the energy sector has collapsed
