00:00Because you cannot separate what happens in the THC and what happens in central government.
00:08Now the chief secretary said he knew nothing about it.
00:12I am not going to comment on whether or not he knew or he didn't.
00:17But I will say this, as you decide who you support on the 12th, that radar issue is a very important one in you making up your mind.
00:30Speaking at the launch of PNM candidates for the upcoming Tobago House of Assembly election,
00:36Beckles pointed to what she described as conflicting positions taken by Prime Minister Kamala Passat-Bissessa
00:43and the chief secretary, Fahli Akustin, on the military radar installed at the A&R Robinson International Airport.
00:51Beckles said Tobago Nians have not been clearly told why the island was chosen as the preferred location for the radar.
00:59Beckles referenced statements made by Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander,
01:05arguing that too many untruths have been told and clarity is still lacking.
01:10Except you heard the Minister of Homeland Security tell you
01:18at Karani Swamp, the radar in Tobago was able to help them to know it had drugs.
01:33You hear a lie?
01:34Beckles said the matter must be fully addressed before Tobagonians head to the polls,
01:39as she called on voters to carefully examine the handling of national security issues affecting the island.
