00:00It's the first Thursday since the UNC government has been sworn into office.
00:07That means it's Cabinet Day.
00:09But this Cabinet meeting is not taking place at the office of the Prime Minister at Whitehall,
00:15nor is it taking place at the Diplomatic Center.
00:18It's happening at the iconic Red House, the Parliament.
00:22And, as if to quell the public disquiet over her health as the Prime Minister arrived,
00:28she gave the media a thumbs-up and a wave.
00:39Dr. David Lee says the Prime Minister is in good health.
00:43She'll be here shortly. She's in good health.
00:45As I said, she was on a motorcade Sunday. She has been working from home.
00:49This comes on the backdrop of PNM Chairman Dr. Nian Gadsby-Dhali,
00:54telling her Facebook followers the health of the Prime Minister is a public matter, not private.
01:00In the post to Facebook, she compared it to calls for former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley
01:05to account for his health in the instances when he sought medical attention.
01:10Gadsby-Dhali said, quote, with no sight of the Honourable PM since her swearing in,
01:16all citizens should be concerned, end quote.
01:19She said Dr. Rowley complied and she demanded the same from PM Kamala Passat-Bissassa.
01:25Gadsby-Dhali asked, is she really working from home?
01:29Files are being sent to there for her signature.
01:32Why can't we see a picture or video of her at work?
01:36Why is the national outcry about such a fundamental issue being ignored?
01:41End quote.
01:43Responding to suggestions on social media that the PM suffered a stroke,
01:47Lee said he saw her during the five days and can so account.
01:51So many things have been said and the Prime Minister has admitted,
01:55said that herself in her swearing in speech.
01:59That so many things have been said about her and I will repeat those things I would have said,
02:04been said about her and she is our Prime Minister.
02:09So I, you know, it's just, you know, it's just the PM at work again.
02:14So we're not surprised.
02:16Lee says he will be reporting to Cabinet
02:19that the work done by his predecessors in the Housing Ministry
02:23has left a lot to be desired
02:25if government is to meet the housing needs of the people of TNT.
02:29What I have gleaned in documents that I've read over the last four days,
02:34this government or the past government only built 4,000 homes.
02:38And so there are a lot of new construction that has taken place.
02:42And we will be doing side visits to get a handle of what is really there.
02:48I'll give you an example.
02:51In Edinburgh 500, two towers that are there,
02:54which is part of Karate Central, which is my constituency now.
02:58One of the towers, they had a cutting ribbon ceremony a couple weeks before election.
03:05And when I inquire that the state of that particular tower, it is not habitable.

03:13So, I'm going to pull you out.
03:14I'm going to pull you out.
03:15I'm going to pull you out.
03:16Then for all the arquitectons, we're going to pull you out.
03:18There it is.
03:19There it is.
03:20There you go.
03:21There it is.
03:22There, there it is.
