Roget: Govt crumbling around PM

by

A video show­ing footage of a man who ap­pears to be a Gov­ern­ment min­is­ter rolling a mar­i­jua­na cig­a­rette should come as no sur­prise, says pres­i­dent of the Oil­fields Work­ers' Trade Union (OW­TU) An­cel Ro­get.In an in­ter­view fol­low­ing a meet­ing be­tween Ro­get and Pres­i­dent An­tho­ny Car­mona yes­ter­day, Ro­get said the footage was a sign of the Gov­ern­ment crum­bling.The footage, which aired on a news sta­tion on Wednes­day night, showed a man who re­sem­bled and sound­ed like a gov­ern­ment min­is­ter in what ap­peared to a ho­tel room con­vers­ing about and in­ter­act­ing with a sub­stance that ap­peared to be mar­i­jua­na.

The man in the video made com­ments about "rolling" the sub­stance and his abil­i­ty to han­dle the sub­stance's ef­fects in the pres­ence of at least two peo­ple, a young woman stand­ing next to him, and who­ev­er record­ed the video."This is an­oth­er man­i­fes­ta­tion of the poor choice of the Prime Min­is­ter (Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar) and the lev­el of bad gov­er­nance," Ro­get said.

He said if it was con­firmed the per­son in the video was a gov­ern­ment min­is­ter that per­son should be re­moved."He should not have been there in the first place. It is not just him. It is the en­tire Gov­ern­ment crum­bling around the Prime Min­is­ter and she does not seem to know it," Ro­get added.
