And Jose Mai is another member of cabinet who is convalescing. We asked the prime minister if he will be coming back to Cabinet.
REPORTER-
"He has posted a photo in relation to surgery, he has posted a photo in relation to a surgery of his leg when you all spoke about him you were talking about spinal surgery or back surgery?"
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Yes and what has happened when he went to see the doctor the doctor said the first thing he needs to do is the knee because he was walking sideways. So, if you do anything with your back and you are still walking sideway you are not doing anything. So they have to fix his knees first and that is what they have done."
Reporter-
"You saw him walking sideways? Because we didn't."
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"Yes of course he used to walk sideways, well the doctors the professionals can-unless you are a doctor then you can talk-but the doctors are the ones that have came up with that and they said they have to do the knees first and then they will look at the back. But again, the back-I think everyone is afraid of a surgery for your back."
Reporter-
"So when can we expect his return to cabinet?"
John Briceno, Prime Minister
"That is a decision we will decide in the future."
