00:00Congratulations to Mr. Ansel K. Dennis on his appointment as a PNM Senator.
00:08I believe that Tobago is looking at you and expects you, though you are a PNM Senator, to first of all be a Tobagonian.
00:21We are looking for Tobagonians who express the views of Tobago in Trinidad's Parliament.
00:29We do not want a Tobagonian who is a puppet in the Trinidad Parliament.
00:35PDP leader Watson Duke said he expects proper representation for Tobago.
00:41As the political leader of the PDP, I am congratulating you in hopes that we will see the Tobagonists inside of you come out in your debate
00:54and you will represent Tobago and not necessarily the ideals of your party.
01:00There have been many times your political organization has violated the people of Tobago.
01:06For instance, the property tax. We are still without our lands and our title here and they are looking to tax us.
01:14On the declare your wealth bill, that is a serious indictment to the people of Tobago.
01:21How can they declare the acres of land that was passed down through generations and many other things.
01:27We are saying to you today, Tobago is saying to you today, when you have taken an appointment, it is not just for your party, it is for Tobago.
01:38Mr. Duke said he expects Senator Ansel Dennis to do the honorable thing.
01:43Do the Tobago thing and represent Tobago or else you will be wasting your time in the upcoming national elections,
01:53which is the general elections 2025 and the teacher elections 2025.
02:01You will be wasting your time as political leader.
02:04Tobagoans have changed. They are not up for Trinidad business.
02:10They want to see about their Tobago business and I urge you as a young man to a young man from Tobago,
02:16do the honorable thing and represent Tobago under your party.
