Hon. Martinez Scolds Channel 5
posted (May 13, 2014)
Minister of Human Development Anthony Boots Martinez was not so casual when the media asked him about the programme today. Btu that's probably because Channel 5 was doing the questioning. Here's how that testy exchange went:...

Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez, Port Loyola Area Representative
"Listen to what is going on: I think you might need to go and ask the people of Port Loyola what they received. You all are trying to make a political thing especially Channel 5."

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"Sir, was the $50,000 government money or party money?"

Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez
"What.... you gave me $50,000 sir? Did you give me $50,000? Where did you get $50,000 from?"

Mike Rudon, Ch 5
"So you did not received $50,000?"

Hon. Anthony "Boots" Martinez
"Me, Anthony "Boots" Martinez received no $50,000. I not even received one dollar. The only time I receive money from government was when I received my pay Channel 5. Through the Ministry of Finance the mothers from my constituency did get some support, some mother's day gift."
