Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister, Dr Keith Rowley, has attempted to assure his country that he is in good health and said talk to the contrary was being spread by ‘some idiot on Face Book.

Speaking in the Trinidadian parliament on Tuesday, Rowley, declared that he had no intention of making his medical records public to appease those who have been spreading rumors about his health.

“This country has been so accustomed to being lied to by its leaders that when you're telling the truth they can't deal with it. I was as open as any Prime Minister has ever been in this country about my health but it seems as though some people would like to wish me a particular kind of health,” Rowley said.

Rowley said he was unbothered by the rumours and questioned why the media was giving the issue any attention.
