We also asked Minister Mira for his take on the whole Jose Mai/bad back narrative. He would only say the man has to speak for himself:
Reporter
"Do you believe that? In fact. Minister Mai has a bad back. And that is the reason why he is moving away from his duties at the Ministry of Agriculture."
Oscar Mira, Minister of Home Affairs & Enterprise
"Well..."
Reporter
"That member, sir. You would have been in cabinet with him."
Oscar Mira, Minister of Home Affairs & Enterprise
"I am in cabinet. He is a friend of mine. Yes, he had an accident, but I leave it as that, you know, all of us, all of us decide on and know how we feel. You know, there somtimes that we need to take a break. I, I, I can't speak for him."
Oscar Mira, Minister of Home Affairs & Enterprise
"He needs to speak for himself."
