00:00As search and recovery efforts continue following Sunday's deadly boat collision of Chagaramus,
00:07pastor and former member of the Police Service Commission, Clive Dutton, is questioning the country's maritime oversight.
00:14His concerns come amid reports that a miner may have been operating one of the vessels.
00:20However, attorney Faris al-Rawi subsequently denied those reports at a news conference earlier this week.
00:28Dutton says the circumstances surrounding the incident highlight the need for proper maritime legislation and greater parental responsibility.
00:38But that is an abomination to have children in the face of this tragedy, Marlon, all right?
00:46And the state have no laws governing that. I never knew that. News to me, by the way.
00:50Well, let's get the laws one time. But it is a shame. It's a burning shame.
00:55A lot of the problems we have in this country is because of adults, you know, adults who teach the
01:03young people to do wrong,
01:05who allow them to do wrong, all right, and who applaud them when they do wrong.
01:12Turning to the security operation in Maloney, Dutton tells us the authorities must confront what he calls criminal migration,
01:20and he insists special operations must be applied fairly and not concentrated in selected communities.
01:28We have contract killers. We have people whose career is to kill.
01:32And if you pay them enough, they will kill. You don't have to know Dutton or Marlon to kill.
01:37They just have to be paid to kill and they will be killed. And that is where we are.
01:42Now, you had the killing of Randall Hector, and I'm glad that case has surfaced again, you know,
01:48so that I am saying, in terms of the analysis of areas, let's bear in mind two things.
01:54Number one, you may have murderers not killing in their area.
01:58The Seventh-day Adventist pastor also weighs in on the Privy Council ruling on consensual same-sex relations.
02:05He says the country must get its spiritual house in order, warning that generations of immorality are undermining the fight
02:15against crime.
02:15He says some children are taught to handle guns before they are taught to pray.
02:22And, you know, they asked me my position on the issue of homosexuality.
02:26I told them sin is sin. Whether a man is abusing his wife, whether he has been sex with another
02:32woman,
02:32all of that is evil, and I told them straight what the good book says is an abomination.
02:40And Romans 1, 26 and 7, Marlon, that is a text.
02:44It says that the women change their natural use against that which is nature,
02:49and the men do that which is unseemly, and they will face the judgment of God.
