00:00I think the People's National Movement, the Tobago Council, is at a critical crossroads at this time.
00:08All membership, the people are calling for renewal, calling for restructuring, calling for us to reunite,
00:17and calling for strong leadership.
00:20And I'm the type of person to always get in and try to get the job done.
00:27If your party or your home is facing a difficult circumstance, I don't think that's the time to jump ship
00:34or to stay at the sidelines.
00:36It's about taking up the mantle, rallying the troops, and getting the work done.
00:41Mrs. Kajul-Lewis said she is well experienced and prepared for the task at hand in the rebuilding process.
00:49I've decided to offer myself for leadership, to run for political leader in the upcoming internal election, which is scheduled
00:58for April 19th.
01:00Of course, I've spent 15 years in the National Parliament representing the interests of Tobago Indians, promoting the Tobago development
01:11agenda,
01:13working with the government towards delivering projects to the benefit of Tobago Indians.
01:19She said it must not be business as usual going forward with the PNM Tobago Council.
01:25For me, it's about reconnecting with the grassroots, reuniting our party, modernizing the people's national movement,
01:36making it more disciplined and people-centered.
01:40I think a party which is 70 years old, we need to go back and re-examine our structure, re
01:48-examine the way we do things.
