00:00According to the Express, senior police sources say they were investigating who
00:06signed off on the documents to allow the importation of the high-powered weapons
00:11that later found their way to the SSA. Speaking on the TV6 Morning Edition,
00:16Mr. Warner said the entire situation is shameful.
00:30I'm of the view that our criminals must be laughing at us. I don't understand, up to this point in time,
00:38Marlon, whether she has been detained or whether she has been arrested or whatever,
00:43because all the news are so fuzzy that one does not really know. But whatever it
00:49is, I think it's an embarrassment to the country. Warner tells us the nation is
00:54confused and someone in authority must clear the air. There seems to be a vacuum
00:59and void in the country right now, and somebody has to fill it. And if the
01:04Prime Minister is not doing so, they should at least set his Prime Minister in
01:08waiting. And if he's not doing so, then the least we could do is to send Mr.
01:13Hines as Minister of National Security. But somebody has to speak to the country
01:18and to do so early. You can imagine the international repercussions this is
01:24having for outside this country. I mean, if I were a businessman here, I'd be very
01:28worried indeed. Warner says the Commissioner does not have the authority to sign off
01:34on these high-powered rifles. These rifles are sniper rifles which are prohibited by
01:40law in this country. And I don't know how she could have made that error, because
01:46normally she's a person who does not grant FULs to anybody, and people have to
01:51go to court to get FUL approvals. Why then should she, in October 2023,
01:58approve two sniper rifles and know that those two rifles are illegal in this country?
02:04That is what is shocking me. The former National Security Minister stressed that
02:09it seems no one is held accountable for anything, not even when a mystery boat
02:15sank when it was being towed to land. He warned, if this continues, we will fail
02:21as a nation. Nicole M Romany, TV6 News.
