We also asked the Prime Minister about his bulked up security details. Two police officers and a vehicle have been added to his police escort. This happened after the failed hit on Nittin Buxani on November 5th. Buxani is the common-law husband of the Prime Minister's cousin. He said yes the detail has been expanded:
Jules Vasquez
"Are you concerned for your own personal safety? We see you know, driving around with an additional detail."
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"You've been harping on that, Mr. Vasquez. You've been harping on that. No, I'm not in any way. But the cabinet secretary insisted because of what has been happening with the free zone and all of that. But to me, that's just for a short time. I will not be traveling with that. I feel safe. And as I've always said, whenever the time comes, I don't feel safe in the work that I'm doing and it's time to get out."
"And I feel very comfortable walking around with people and meeting people, meeting people, working with people. And as you always know, as I always tell you, told you from the one, it's not, it crumbs my style of walking, meeting people and meeting with them."
