And while he defended a homegrown solution, he also defended his first vice president.
There were PUP - fuelled reports that the tire fires on the George Price highway yesterday had been set by Dean Flowers.
Well, Henry said he has since spoken to Flowers and claims his first VP has tangible proof that he wasn't the tyre-fire starter.
Gerald Henry - President, PSU "I said man, it's so easy to prove whether it was him or not, all he has to do is to show it's his social security card, because they are saying that they found his social security card on the scene, and he has indicated to me clearly that he has his social security card."
Reporter "So, somebody else's must have been there?"
Gerald Henry "Something like that but it's ridiculous to put out these things that can be proven so easily. I don't know why it is that they felt- and then they are the one that end up looking ridiculous because it's so easy to prove. You can't prove a lie and obviously from our side it's a blatant line and the whole issues to bring down one of our leaders who has been very outspoken."
