00:00Finance Minister Dave Tanku has announced an immediate $1 reduction in the price of super gasoline,
00:06describing it as the first measure in the 2026 national budget to benefit every single citizen of TNT.
00:13He made the announcement early in his budget presentation, saying the decision was directed by Prime Minister Kamala Passat-Bissessa
00:19as part of the government's drive to restore affordability and build economic fairness.
00:25Our crew went to Petromat Gas Station on Wrightson Road to get the views of the people on this saving.
00:32Super gasoline has been reduced by $1.
00:35I find that to be a very good thing. It now gives me a chance to save some more money. So I'm happy with that.
00:44So I didn't get a chance to watch the budget. However, hearing this is good. Any reduction is a good thing in my book.
00:50So, yeah, it's okay.
00:52A reduction by any amount, 1%, 2%, is meaningful to the citizens of this country.
01:00After 10 years of consistent hikes under the PNM administration, we are comfortable with this 1%
01:08and we thank the UNC administration for looking after the needs of the people of this country.
