00:00My view is very simple. They need to detach Trinidad from Tobago and keep Trinidad with their crime, because it's
00:07totally screwing up tourism in Tobago. It's a Trinidad problem, it's not a Tobago problem.
00:14McLean said the SOE is nothing short of a backward step for Tobago's tourism thrust, as the international figures will
00:22up by 20%, but now the sector is facing some cancellations.
00:27It's a very backward step for tourism. Tobago does not have the crime that Trinidad has. And we need to
00:35detach Tobago's tourism from Trinidad for crime purposes. Already today there's an advisory come out from the U.S. on
00:44travel to Trinidad and Tobago. We need to have a separation on something like this.
00:50He said it is disappointing. The Zones of Special Operations Zoso bill was not passed in Parliament.
00:58Damage control again. We have to get the word out that we are safe. That's about all we can do
01:06when you're under SA.
01:09Are you disappointed in any way?
01:12I'm very disappointed because the government has had 10 months to deal with the issue and they have not gotten
01:18it under control. They know who the criminals are. They deal with the criminals. Get them in.
01:24But again, I'm also disappointed in the opposition that the opposition did not support the ZOSA and that would have
01:31been a way to make it a lot simpler in dealing with crime in this country.
