One former Minister offers his own assessment of the UNC's 100 days in office and says he is fearless when it comes to implicating him in the allegations of Cepep corruption.
00:00Former Rural Development Minister Faris al-Rawi gives his synopsis of the UNC's 100 days in office.
00:08In 100 days, 11,000 CPAP workers fired, 5,000 URP workers fired, 5,000 forestry workers fired, 400 WASA workers fired, 900 Regional Health Authority No. 1 workers fired, 700 in another Regional Health Authority fired.
00:38200 change agents in Rural Development Local Government fired, 10 WASA managers fired, 2,800 workers inside of the temporary program in HTC fired.
00:56He estimates about 30,000 workers were fired in 100 days.
01:00On the issue of his involvement in CPAP's extension of contracts without a cabinet note.
01:06I saw this little fellow last night stand up and tell the people that they have launched criminal action, the government has taken criminal action in the CPAP matter.
01:20Newspapers today, quoting legal proceedings against Faris al-Rawi.
01:28I had calls to go on the radio today, legal proceedings.
01:32I have received no pre-action protocol.
01:35No threat.
01:37I have received no knock on the door from the police.
01:41I hear him talk that the big news story in this country is about a cabinet decision.
01:47Al-Rawi expresses fearlessness when it comes to anyone implicating him in wrongdoing.
01:54Number one, the DPP has no powers to investigate anything.
01:59He can get a file and send it by the police.
02:02And I welcome that.
02:02No problems.
02:04Two, by the time you get to the police, you have to explain yourself.
02:10Why you leave out the 2017 cabinet note?
02:13Why you count and you get them count 1, 2, and 3 and you forget 4?
02:18Why you left out all of the history of your hirings?
02:23Why you didn't pay the people?
02:24Because you see, ladies and gentlemen, the real fight in here is 11,000 people have no money
02:32and they want to distract you by calling my name.
02:35He calls the nation's attention to the involvement of Senior Counsel Anand Ramblokan
02:40in the CPAP and other state legal matters.
02:44I am told today on Good Sources, an instruction has gone out by Cal
02:50that all legal work must go to Freedom House by Anand Ramblokan.
02:54That's what I'm told.
02:56I'm going to check it out.
02:58I know that they're dealing with the Jack Warner matter.
03:02They fire all the lawyers in the matter.
03:04The leading expert in extradition, gone.
03:08They hire a little junior counsel from England.
03:11I ain't seen more on that just yet.
03:13Al-Rawi says there are other high court matters which will be revealed in due course
03:18which will, according to him, shock the nation.
