Keith Rowley, caught over and over again in the most outlandish and blatant lies, from emailgate to the redacted MRI scan in Tobago, cannot identify a single untruth in the UNC’s statement, thanking the Government of the United States of America for the donation of two (2) field hospitals.
To state again, on Monday 10 May 2021 at the UNC’s Virtual Report, Kamla Persad-Bissessar stated:
“How are you going to increase bed space, because you are telling us that we are going to have a shortage of bed space as we go along. What are you doing? Do you have a plan? Can I make a suggestion? Can we write to the US or ask the US or other developed countries? They can help us with the mobile hospital units that they have. We saw it when the height of the pandemic in the developed countries that they were using these mobile [units] because we can build a hospital between now and tomorrow and next week if this bed shortage — and already you’re telling us it’s filled to capacity.”
At no time did the Ministry of Health or Keith Rowley ever indicate that this option was available. Indeed, Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for bringing up the matter on Monday.
To be certain, Keith Rowley has much for which to be thankful to Kamla Persad-Bissessar. Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the 230-bed Couva Hospital. He could look next to the field hospital and he would see it.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the 218 extra beds at the San Fernando Teaching Hospital.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the Arima Hospital.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the expanded facilities at Caura Hospital.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the Point Fortin Hospital.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the Debe Campus, which he refused to open due to his spite and hatred.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for the Tennis Centre.
Keith Rowley should thank Kamla Persad-Bissessar for writing to the Government of India for the donation of AstraZeneca vaccines.
Keith Rowley has plunged this country into the worst crisis our nation has ever experienced. Instead of looking for cheap distractions, he should focus his mind on procuring vaccines for the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago.
