00:00Tell them we will soon get rid of this wicked government and tell them that Trinidad and Tobago will return
00:11to the loving hands of the people's national movement.
00:17Opposition leader Penelope Beckles addressing party members and supporters at the party's Sports and Family Day 2026.
00:25She says the government is hounding her about her decision on Senator Janelle John Bates who submitted her resignation.
00:32But according to Beckles, there are many questionable appointments within the United National Congress, inclusive of a member who is
00:40out on bail.
00:41I want to make it abundantly clear to the UNC.
00:46The responsibility to appoint senators of the PNM is mine.
00:52Right? So let Kamala deal with her problems.
00:58Let her decide about her appointment of her senators.
01:02But if you're comfortable appointing those people with questionable characters, questionable characteristics, leave me alone.
01:12As for what decision she'll make?
01:14When the time comes for me to act as the Constitution requires, I will act.
01:23Meanwhile, Beckles takes note of the cancelling of the contract with Moody's Credit Rating Agency by the National Gas Company.
01:30She says it was about to downgrade the NGC because of a withholding of information.
01:36And we know that the NGC is a unique multi-billion dollar state-owned company.
01:43I want to ask the Prime Minister today from this stage in Nelson Mandela Park, what are they hiding at
01:52NGC?
01:55What is that UNC board afraid of?
02:00The opposition leader calls on people to listen to what is being said and what is not.
02:05The PNM Sports and Family Day featured fun and rivalry among those who support the party.
02:11Beckles says PNM supporters came out from all 41 constituencies.
02:16Among the highlights of the day, a match passed which saw the constituencies go up against each other,
02:22displaying precision, coordination, skill and, of course, their choice of way.
