00:00Now that is one of the most alarming statements we have heard coming from the
00:06head of the National Security Council and in those circumstances we would
00:13think that a more appropriate response would be that the head of the National
00:19Security Council would ensure that heads rule in light of this revelation.
00:27George said the Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley must take decisive action in the
00:33matter as accountability is needed. It cannot be that you sit there at the top
00:40of the you know executive of the TTPS and these things are occurring under
00:47your watch and there's no accountability or responsibility and I think that it is
00:54clear that the Prime Minister has to take some decisive action in this
00:57regard. Mr. George is wondering where is the Ministry of National Security in the
01:03matter? It also goes all the way up to you know the question of
01:08responsibility and the question of accountability from the Ministry of
01:15National Security and the two ministers who are assigned there too because if
01:22the TTPS is under their purview then it's a circumstance where it is clear
01:29that they ought to come forth and give some sort of explanation for this rather
01:34alarming scenario. Elizabeth Williams TV6 News
