Chin in an interview said that there is an apparent lack of transparency in the Toribiong government.
‘The people do not know what is going on in the government. If you talk about transparency then the people should know, they do not know what is going on, the people are clueless,” Chin said.
He said that he agrees that it has been two years and the government has not resolved the problem of unemployment, poor economy and health care.
Chin lost to Toribiong in the last 2008 General Elections by a little over 200 votes.
He said that Toribiong has failed to address in his recent State of the Republic Address the pressing issues of the country.
“He always talked about transparency, but he did not say where we are at, where we are going,” Chin said.
Asked if he will run for presidency in 2012, Chin hinted on making a comeback
.”Every citizen, owe it to his nation to improve the current situation. If the government is not doing what it needs to do, then it needs to put his or her name out there,” Chin said when asked about his next move.
He added that he cannot understand why this government wanted to increase their salaries when one of the most pressing problems of the country is the lack of jobs and low salaries.
“It is unfair there are more people deserving of a pay increase,” Chin said.
