NHI Now Under PM's Office, UDP Not Impressed

In other political news, last week, Cabinet approved legislation to re-constitute NHI as a Statutory Board under the Office of the Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. Today we asked the UDP Chairman for his thoughts on cabinet's decision:

Mike Peyrefitte, UDP Chairman

"So it doesn't matter where any NHI is. Under the new National Security Council Act, the prime minister can deem just about anything to the national security so he can be directly in charge of it. So I don't think it makes any difference."

"Because ultimately, John Briceno as prime minister is responsible for everything in every ministry that happens under his watch. I don't think it matters where it is."
