00:00So last week you had this Secretary of Tourism, a member of the TPP, attacking
00:07this brand-new modern airport, International Airport Terminal, that is a
00:13light, a beacon, a feel-good for not just the Baygonians but the country. Every
00:19time you fly in and you touch down, you see this airport come into life, it
00:24brings a sense of pride and joy and just because this is being done by the
00:30People's National Movement central government. Minority leader Kelvin Morris
00:35said the TPP has joined forces with the UNC to create a scandal with the airport
00:42expansion project. The TPP now in cahoots with their friends in Trinidad is now
00:49trying to create a whole level of scandal, a whole level of mayhem and
00:55confusion and therefore you had the first attack in Tobago and their
01:02partners in crime, they tagged their partners in Trinidad and you saw this week the
01:08leader of the opposition coming out trying to create some kind of narrative
01:14about this airport as to take away from the gains. Mr. Morris said the situation
01:21is nothing short of an election ploy by the opposition. Just because they know an
01:25election is right around the corner, the Baygonians are feeling good about this
01:30airport and they believe it gives the People's National Movement some kind of
01:35political benefit and therefore the Baygonians as we go forward into a
01:41campaign we got to recognize that the TPP is the UNC secret link. Morris said
01:52the UNC and the TPP are in bed with each other. They have a secret relationship
01:57and that is they are in bed with one another, political bed with one another.
02:05UNC in Trinidad, TPP in Tobago and their intent is to mash up, to derail anything
02:13that is good for Tobago coming from the central government and they are doing it
02:19with the airport, they are also doing it with the autonomy bills.
