00:00As the conversation surrounding Blue Waters' sponsorship of the Diwali Nagara heats up,
00:05the Hadids are in the spotlight once again.
00:08This time, Government Senator Anna Roberts is questioning a contract signed under the previous administration.
00:15They rent a building from some dumb Hadid. I don't know who that is.
00:20I don't know. The water I went, I went to be gone swimming. The water was blue.
00:23It was blue waters in Tobago.
00:25They rent a building and they pay a set of money.
00:28The building ain't no good. The engineers say it had no columns, no electricity, nothing.
00:34But PNM signed a contract and paid $49,000 per month and the building was never utilized.
00:41The UNC had to come and deal with this and get so.
00:43No other Tobogonians have a building to rent, right?
00:46Them had to go and find a building.
00:49Yes.
00:51Well, they said, you know, auntie, we got too much.
00:57I wonder if the people in LaVante can beat them or they're trying to make them go and protest.
01:01I wonder if they could say, we got too much.
01:05Roberts further sought to defend his administration budget by highlighting what he believes to be instances of nepotism.
01:12He says the UNC will fix the economy by eliminating these practices.
01:18It will shock you to know that the government borrowed $10.8 billion from NCB Global.
01:26Before Mr. Stuart Young swore to be a minister in the PNM, NCB Global had zero public sector work.
01:35You don't find that just a little lucky?
01:37It's just lucky that within eight years of him being a super minister, his brother company, the brother of our
01:43CEO, gets $10.8 billion at an average of 6.2% with $22 million in fees.
01:52And you come here to talk to us about those most in need and people need.
01:57Fire, burn the PNM.
01:59Fire, burn the PNM.
