"Hands off the PNM and Balisier House!" That's the warning to Attorney General John Jeremie and the government from Opposition Chief Whip, Marvin Gonzales who spoke on TV6's Morning Edition programme. Here's Dominic Ramroop with more.

00:00And no Attorney General that operates with vile vengeance and revenge will put his dirty and grubby hands on the
00:10People's National Movement and our dear Balisey House.
00:13Opposition Chief Whip Marvin Gonzalez is warning to Attorney General John Jeremy on TV6's Morning Edition as the opposition People's
00:21National Movement continues to refute the government's calls for the party to make public their source of funding for the
00:27recent redevelopment works done on Balisey House, the PNM's headquarters.
00:32Gonzalez says that the preliminary unexplained wealth order obtained by police stemmed from a report commissioned by the AG.
00:40The order that was obtained by the police in relation to the unexplained wealth for the PNM emerged out of
00:49a report that was commissioned by the Attorney General.
00:52And that report is dated the 17th of June 2026.
00:57The report is very clear that it makes no finding of guilt.
01:00It makes no finding of criminality or anything like that.
01:03It was commissioned by the Attorney General and it was presented to the Attorney General.
01:08He emphasised that there was no evidence of wrongdoing in the report.
01:12In reading that report that was commissioned by the Attorney General, I thought I would have seen the evidence of
01:21dirty money funding Balisey House.
01:23I thought I would have seen the evidence of drug money funding the reconstruction and the refurbishment of Balisey House.
01:33I thought I would have seen evidence of corrupt activities funding Balisey House.
01:38And therefore, I say today, as we have indicated time and time again, that the Prime Minister and the Attorney
01:45General are pathological, liars and deceivers.
01:51And so far, they have uttered and they have submitted not one iota of evidence to support what they are
01:58saying.
01:58Gonzalez says that this is something that should raise concerns among the entire population.
02:03It should concern every single citizen of this country.
02:08I don't know any criminal investigation that must be triggered by a report that was commissioned by the Attorney General's
02:19office.
02:20A political appointee who has indicated that he intends to go to war with members of the opposition, members of
02:29the People's National Movement.
02:31It should concern every citizen that that report that was commissioned by the Attorney General finds its way on the
02:37desk of the Commission of Police.
02:39And as a result of that, just two weeks after, they were able to go before the court and convince
02:47a judge to issue an unexplained wealth order.
02:50Gonzalez also confirmed that he will have more to say in the coming days as the PNM's lawyers get ready
02:56to defend the party.
