00:00This is not the governance that we voted for. You said you will fix it but soon as
00:06I got in, you betrayed Tobago, you betrayed me, you betrayed everybody and
00:11then they'll tell us you are independent and we see the agenda of independence.
00:16They listen to no one, they do their own stuff. I'm calling upon you Mr. Chief
00:21Secretary to address the nation and have your resignation letter in your pocket
00:27to present to us. We would accept it and we will go to the house and we will
00:31probe the house. We will bring the house to nought and we will have elections. Let
00:36the people of Tobago elect someone who can solve crime. Mr. Duke said Chief
00:41Secretary Farley Augustine has failed to have the crime situation in Tobago
00:46under control. Crime is serious business. You need to be a leader to solve crime.
00:51You can't be no little joker, no little run-up-and-down glad boy. This is serious
00:56business and you have failed to address crime. You have failed to bring together
01:01the various arms of security in Tobago to assist Tobago in solving crime. Duke
01:07said the murder rate in Tobago continues to trend upwards. Tobago is now the
01:12greatest little island on earth insofar as murders are concerned. Yes and I have
01:20the statistics to prove and I challenge anybody. The Minister of National
01:25Security, the Police Commissioner, the ACP responsible for Tobago, that's
01:31Assistant Commissioner of Police responsible for Tobago. I challenge
01:36anybody to come with more truer statistics than this. TV6 contacted
01:42Chief Secretary Farley Augustine on Duke's call for him to resign. Mr. Augustine
01:47stated quote, I did not know that I was one of the Ministers of National
01:52Security. I did not realize that I was head of the National Security Council. I
01:57did not know that I was the Commissioner of Police. It does not help when the
02:03village idiot tries to politicize the country's current crime situation. It is
02:08a problem that plagues all of us end quote. Elizabeth Williams, TV6 News.
