00:00Alexander, who is the UNC's candidate for Trinapura, says it was difficult for him as
00:07a police officer looking on at the affairs and the suffering of the people.
00:13He tells us there were new technologies that could have been utilized to deal with criminals,
00:19but they were not afforded to the officers.
00:22He explains that this lack of action motivated him to align with the United National Congress
00:29in service to the people.
00:32Change the dynamics of things.

00:40you have to be able to move with it in order to have a cushion on it, in order to hold
00:46it, in order to arrest it.

00:51His focus is helping the people.
00:54The People's National Movement, I have no issues with them, because I hear them talking
01:01different things about me.
01:02I don't have time for that, because while we talk about me, there is someone going to
01:06school today unprepared for the SCA on Thursday, and these are the things we have to look at.
01:13There is someone whose kitchen has no food, and a number of things.
01:18Some persons have no job.
01:19So those are the issues that we have to deal with, and I am just here.
01:23He stresses that even the business community falls prey to robberies and extortion, adding
01:30that private residences suffer through home invasions and other crimes.
01:35According to Alexander, he is best suited to tackle these ongoing problems on a national
01:42level.
01:43For 30-something years I have done it.
01:46I have led sections after sections after sections in the police service, and now I intend to
01:51lead with respect to some level of national security, so that our country, our citizens
01:58can live in peace.
