01:28district.
01:29Mr. Agustin said, quote,
01:31Like the rest of the society, I am also affected by the murder rate.
01:36Every murder is painful.
01:38It is also beyond vexing that the national security apparatus in Tobago still cannot
01:43get the resources to fight crime.
01:46I know Mr. Daniel well.
01:48He is from my electoral district.
01:50I was working with him and his family on land ownership for the purpose of critically needed
01:56shelter for his family.
01:58My deepest sympathies go out to the family.
