00:00Protest action for over an hour outside the Red House on Monday morning.
00:13Citizens voicing their dissatisfaction with the state of the country and government's
00:17handling of national security, health, education and other sectors.
00:21We are fed up with the crime, we are fed up with the property tax, we are fed up with
00:29Kit Rowley, that he is advantaging this nation and they are not doing anything.
00:35They are having problems with all this tax and all this unfortunate things that they
00:39do to people.
00:42Like land tax and all the gas anywhere you go, you can't go in the sea.
00:47People can't work, they shut down all the rent in place.
00:50Venezuela is doing real crime in this country, where you make them come here and have a ball
00:54of time and give them rights to do crime in this country.
00:58While he is crying over a bracelet, people are dying from dengue.
01:03We are all in a mess, Rowley is doing nothing for the country.
01:11A seemingly constant chant of Rowley must go only broke when the opposition leader Kamala
01:17Prasad Bisesa arrived shortly before the House was due to meet.
01:22If it were my government, I would say we should increase the minimum wage to $25.
01:32I would say to give the public sector workers at least a 10% increase, at least a 10%, no
01:43wicked 4%.
01:44This is their eulogy.
01:45In their eulogy they will come to say all the nice things they have done, but have not
01:50done.
01:51Absolutely nothing they will say here today will change the fact that the PNM has worked
01:56to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.
01:59Cindy Raguba-Tikasingh, TV6 News.
