Marin Not Worried About Senate Probe
posted (October 21, 2016)
Going back now to Pablo Marin, could he like Vega and Saldivar, be next to be disciplined by Daddy Dean? His name does appear in the Audit of the Nationality section of the Immigration Department about 20 times. We asked him if he fears what will come out of the Special Select Committee investigation regarding his actions. Marin told us that he doesn't fear the outcome and that all he did was help his constituents.

Hon. Pablo Marin, Minister of Health
"I have confidence enough that I have already seek a lawyer to fight my case. Because what I did is sign letters and if I can give you those letters, those letters state you know what can you please help this person and it's not only one particular person. I have a list of maybe 5-6 persons at that moment. I have in 2015, the letter given to Minister Hulse at that time and it has people from 2012 asking for nationality, for residence. That is what I did and I was speaking to one of the persons in Corozal and I said you know what, how much I charge? He said nothing. From when are you trying to get your nationality? It's been years. I said why don't you take that moment and call the media and say you know what, this is what the Minister is doing. I feel confident enough that you can go in Corozal and ask the Hindus,' the Chinese, ask the Guatemalans - any person there what has Pablo done for you. Did he charge you? And you see definitely that Pablo didn't charge. Pablo give a letter trying to help because that is what we need to do in our constituency. We need to help our people and that is what they put us for."
