00:00the
00:00And so they are supposed to be a natural to me,
00:02and so they are supposed to be their own life.
00:04And I think they've come in to the same place
00:07for the whole world.
00:09You can see that they're supposed to be as part of it,
00:09and they've also been dealing with this.
00:11You know, you know how we're dealing with a big show,
00:14but you can't tell us what you're playing with,
00:16but it's time to go back.
00:18And if that's what's going on,
00:19you can throw it off.
00:21And I'm just going to go back and forth,
00:23and you can pass it on to your partner.
00:25And literally, what's going on?
00:26No, you can't explain how that works.
00:47I was out very early or very late with our workers who are on the National Programme
00:55for the upkeep of public spaces. And we were essentially targeting the area that had concentrated
01:02celebrations. So we're talking about the Queen's Park Savannah that had the Independence Cultural
01:09Show, the Queen's Park Oval because they had CPL Cricket, and some of those major thoroughfares
01:16like the Avenue, Arapita Avenue, the Western Main Road, Tragarit Road. And the idea was
01:23to remove all any garbage from the road.
01:33The thing is, at 3, 4 in the morning, you still have people liming on the Avenue, Arapita Avenue.
01:38So we just had to shift and adjust the suit. The workers were very understanding. I think
01:44they understand the assignment. They are working, doing their work with pride. And it's something
01:49that I really appreciate. All our supervisors. I just want to say a hats off to all our workers
01:56and our supervisors.
02:13You know, one of the things I was personally very happy about is that Prime Minister Kamala
02:21Passat-Bissessa in 2025 made a commitment to replace noisy fireworks. And this year, we saw a drone show.
02:30And it brings to our minds the possibility of low noise displays that are designed to minimize the loud
02:39explosive bangs, but still bring that colorful visual effect. And I think it's a step in the right direction.
02:48That's enough to get under a long time.
03:05That's right behind it.
03:05I think so.
03:06And we'll see you guys.
03:16Bye.
03:18And he comes with the new hands but you can see the new hands and the new hands and the
03:23new hands.
03:24You can see a new person who's working on the station, who is working on the station and trying to
03:31get a pair of hands.
03:31And in relation to the new hands, it has been a full time, and this gives you a full space.
03:45And we're going to be able to do that.
03:48We're going to be able to do it.
