After 7 years of PNM he would come now and blame UNC for the crime
So what the arse he was doing as national security minister for the last 5 years?
Also speaking in the House, Joseph denied Moonilal's claims that Government was encouraging crime and has failed to do anything to resolve the situation. He said the present crime situation stemmed from when the UNC was in Government.
"If we trace guns in the hands of criminals, it stems back to when the UNC was in office," said Joseph.
"The time frame for the sowing of the seed and the development of the fruit take some time," he added.
He said that when he (Panday) was prime minister, Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday was aware that criminal activity emanated under the URP.
"The seeds were planted some time ago and we are now reaping it, and it is not that we are making excuses," Joseph said.
