“The Prime Minister cannot backtrack on his attack on the DPP now. I call on the Prime Minister and Attorney General to apologise to DPP Gaspard – I call them out!”
Those are the words of Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar.
Speaking last night at UNC’s Monday Night Report in Sangre Grande, she called out Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley and Attorney General Reginald Armour, demanding they apologise to Director of Public Prosecutions Roger Gaspard.
Persad-Bissessar said Rowley has failed to answer important questions “surrounding himself and attacks he continues to launch against the DPP.” She said he deflected with the issue of accommodation for the DPP and she asked why security wasn’t checked before the building was rented.
“He has to answer,” she said.
Persad Bissessar claimed the “real plan” was to bait DPP Gaspard into responding to their unwarranted attacks; and the PM, AG and Chief Justice had hoped DPP would respond in an injudicious manner and “get on bad.” She claimed they would have “then gotten their puppet President to action a probe” into the DPP’s responses and seek to suspend him.
They would then “appoint a puppet DPP” of their choice, as the PM has veto power. “But the plan backfired on them! The DPP didn’t take the bait…” she said.
“The Prime Minister cannot backtrack on his attack on the DPP now. I call on the Prime Minister and Attorney General to apologise to DPP Gaspard – I call them out!”
Persad-Bissessar also claimed many PNMites are under probe locally and overseas, and also alleged Government “wants to reopen cases the DPP closed.”
She also called on Armour to say if his office is “hounding down” the DPP’s Office trying to get the files on the Ramlogan/Ramdeen matter.
