The United National Congress is suggesting the entire board of Paria Fuel Trading Limited resign following the disappearance of four of five drivers employed by LMCS Limited.
In a media release Paria Fuel Trading Limited said at the time of the incident on Friday night the drivers were working on a 30-inch pipeline located at no. 36 Sealine riser on Berth no. 6 at the company.
It said the four hundred meter pipeline is on the seabed in sixty feet of water off Pointe-a-Pierre.
However, speaking at a news briefing Monday afternoon, Opposition Member of Parliament for Pointe-a-Pierre, David Lee, claimed the board at Paria should tender their resignation in light of how the situation was handled.
MP Lee also suggested a family member be included on the five member independent committee which will investigate the tragedy to ensure transparency and accountability.
