00:00Let me thank you for the opportunity to clear the air.
00:03And I am always grateful that you are one who seeks truth and does not go based on ESA.
00:10At this time, I have not resigned from the People's National Movement, nor am I a member of the Tobago People's Party.
00:17I think that is as clear as it can get.
00:18Mr. Dinun, however, when questioned further by this reporter, confirmed he has been approached by members of the TPP to join the party.
00:28Mr. Dinun has been a long-standing member of the PNM.
00:32It is not my fault that people would see value in the work that I am doing.
00:36And of course, people from the opposite party have approached me, recognizing the work that I have been doing and seeing value in the work that I have done.
00:44And they have indicated that if I should desire, the opportunity is available for me to serve under the Tobago People's Party.
00:54As for his political future?
00:56I would inform the entire Tobago of those decisions because I believe it's the right thing to do.
01:04In terms of principle and integrity, the thing is, Liz, what can I say?
01:12Tobago is an environment where rumors spread faster than the truth.
01:17What I have seen over the past couple of weeks is people speculating, having their own conversations, and not going based on the facts.
01:25He said Tobago must always win.
01:28It's always good when people see value in you, but at the end of the day, you have to know what you stand for.
01:34And in the end, my thing is that Tobago must always win.
01:38Both political parties have their strengths and weaknesses, and that is a fact.
01:42But in the end of the day, what is most important to me is Tobago's development, community development, and youth development.
01:49And that is what I would continue to do.
01:51I would continue to put in the work, regardless of political season.
01:55When the nine days has passed, after this conversation, as you would know, I would still be on the ground working, because it doesn't take an office for me to serve.
02:03Word has been circulating that Mr. De Noon is being looked at for the Buku-Mount Pleasant seat, one of two seats the TPP is again deliberating on for the upcoming THA election.
02:16The other, Mason Hall-Mariah.
02:18Screening of candidates continued on Tuesday.
