I don't know Roodal Moonilal much other than what I've seen on television. He is confident but very abrupt sometimes, he doesn't mixed words. What caught me by surprise was a photograph of a woman kissing his feet when they went to Diego Martin to hand out cash for victims of the flooding... You all caught that?
There was a recent issue brought up by the media about the vehicle, a Land Rover, that the Housing Minister uses. Due to this Mr. Roodal Moonilal said on TV6 that he has been exposed to criminal elements because they know the type of vehicle he drives and he will now has to switch vehicles.
He went to Felicity to talk to the people regards to housing. He said that Jack Warner granted 21 houses but all of them to Chaguanas West residents and only a couple to Felicity residents.
Minister Roodal Moonilal had me laughing today. He made a good point about how the media is focusing so much on the cars that Ministers drive and houses they live in that in order for Ministers to seem normal they would have to sleep on a rice bed and go home in a cart (He did not say exactly that but something like that, he just said it better).
He was just using hyperbole to justify the crazy amount of money that his ministry is using when they rent those fancy vehicles. If he wants to buy a Ferrari that's his problem but don't use tax payers money to rent things you clearly do NOT need.
The Join Committee recommended that in order to introduce greater transparency and accountability, Moonilal should justify the 25% allocation that he is allowed to make providing a list of names and the location of the houses and the rationale for his decision so the public can see where are the houses going to.
