TPP leader and Chief Secretary Farley Augustine is tonight denying any Prados were requested from the Central Government by the Tobago House of Assembly during the oil spill disaster of February 2024.
Speaking during his party's political meeting in Castara he responded to former Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, who first made the revelation. More from Elizabeth Williams.
00:00And so this nonsense about THA asking to buy two Prado, the central government buys tens of Prado every single year
00:08and you talking about THA asking for two Prado, and what are they saying?
00:12That you are so less than them in Trinidad that you can buy two Prado?
00:18And let me be clear, no Prado request was made for the oil spill.
00:23Not a single Prado request was made for the oil spill.
00:27We made requests to cover the cost of renting vehicles because during the oil spill, Mr. Alan Stewart, there was no vehicle assigned to him, none that was working.
00:39And we had to use my vehicle, other vehicles, try to pick him up at 4 o'clock in the morning, 3 o'clock in the morning from Mason Hall.
00:46During an interview with TV6 News, Dr. Rowley showed a WhatsApp message between himself and former Finance Minister Colm Inbert indicating two Prado SUVs were requested by the THA.
01:00The WhatsApp message was dated February 19th, 2024.
01:05Mr. Augustine said it is nothing more than platform lies by Dr. Rowley.
01:10I will be the only full-term chief exec to never buy a new vehicle.
01:16The Prado that has driven me, that comes from finance, it's done right now.
01:21The BMW that day is Kelvin Charles that buy that.
01:25That has some issues in order to service a BMW, it's big money, and it's carried by the BMW company.
01:31The Lexus from Orville are still driving it and still use it.
01:35The AC and working good, for years they're trying to fix the AC, I go and spend my own money, not even THA money, and fix the AC myself to drive in it.
01:44Mr. Augustine said it appears the former Prime Minister is being set up by the former Finance Minister.
01:52And Mr. X, Prime Minister, if the WhatsApp message would come from me, you could accept it.
01:59If the WhatsApp message would come from the Secretary of Finance, you could accept it.
02:04But you ain't see like coming but setting you up?
02:07Because you bust your throat and put a next man to be Prime Minister?
02:11You ain't see coming but setting you up, boy?
02:14You are smarter man than that, Mr. Prime Minister.
