Minority Leader Kelvon Morris intends to lead a march on Tuesday labelled '100 Man March' calling for the Health Secretary Dr Faith Brebnor to demit office.
The reason! What he has classified as failed oversight of the health sector in Tobago and comes on the heels of last Friday's TRHA media conference on the road worthiness of some ambulances in Tobago purchased by the Tobago Regional Health Authority. More in this Elizabeth Williams report.
00:00So this 100 man match tomorrow is a call for good governance, transparency and accountability in the governance of our health sector.
00:11As you all are aware, we have the greatest scandal, procurement scandal in the history of the Tobago House of Assembly
00:20and the secretary remains absolutely silent on this matter.
00:25Mr. Morris is calling for the health secretary, Dr. Faith Brebner, to speak out on the issues involving the three ambulances purchased by the TRHE and the loss of power by one at a critical time.
00:39This is the same secretary that told her to Begonian, who messaged for help in the morning, that ease her up.
00:46Mr. Morris claims there were procurement gaps in the purchase of the ambulances by the TRHE.
00:52And the question we have to ask, at that time when that company was engaged, were they registered with the OPR?
01:01Morris said Tobago deserves better, and he is calling on Tobagonians to stand up, show up and to speak out as enough is enough.
01:10Tomorrow is a call for everyone who have felt the injustice, the victimization of this entire administration.
01:19This is your opportunity to come out and join this 100-man march and let us say that we have had enough.
01:28TV6 News contacted Health Secretary Dr. Faith Brebner on the march calling for her to go.
01:35She said, quote,
01:35Citizens have a constitutional right to protest, as long as it's done in a manner that is safe to all stakeholders and within the law.
01:46I have no challenge with any individual expressing that constitutional right, end quote.
