00:00Leader of the People's National Movement Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley says he

00:04sees no reason to recuse himself from his party's screening committee after

00:09publicly supporting a potential replacement candidate for his seat of

00:13Diego Martin West. Dr. Rowley says as a member of one of his constituency's

00:19party groups he has a right to nominate someone. Dr. Rowley recently announced he

00:24would not be seeking re-election for the seat which he has held for the PNM for

00:29over four decades.

00:59With reporters following the ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new

01:06housing development in San Fernando today, Dr. Rowley also answered questions

01:11surrounding Paria's intention to buy fuel from Jamaica.

01:17If while you are selling fuel to the Caribbean region, buying and selling fuel as Paria does, if you see an

01:26opportunity to buy from Jamaica, Jamaica being a CARICOM country, which gives you

01:32an advantage in obtaining it from there as against obtaining it from an

01:36external CARICOM source, what's wrong with that? Are you implying that Paria

01:42shouldn't buy and sell fuel?
