Al­most a week has passed since the sur­fac­ing of the au­dio of pur­port­ed­ly two se­nior To­ba­go House As­sem­bly (THA)/ex­ec­u­tive mem­bers dis­cussing plans to hire peo­ple in the THA to pro­mote po­lit­i­cal pro­pa­gan­da and there is still no re­sponse from Chief Sec­re­tary Far­ley Au­gus­tine. Re­tired head of the Pub­lic Ser­vice Regi­nald Du­mas has said if the di­a­logue did oc­cur, then the peo­ple in­volved should demit of­fice.

Po­lit­i­cal Leader of the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment To­ba­go Coun­cil has called on Au­gus­tine and Sec­re­tary for Ed­u­ca­tion Zor­isha Hack­ett to re­sign. An­cil Den­nis al­so wants fresh THA Elec­tions to be called as well.

“So there was a need for an elec­tion even be­fore now but at this time there is a need for an elec­tion and there is a need for a new Chief Sec­re­tary in the To­ba­go House of As­sem­bly," he said.
