As Oropouche MP, Dr Roodal Moonilal prepares for screening today. Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar has described the latest allegations against him in the Estate Management and Business Development Company Ltd (EMBD) multi-million dollar cartel lawsuit as a “political witch-hunt” and a waste of taxpayers’ money.
Speaking to Guardian Media after attending the funeral of former chairman Premchand Sookoo, Persad-Bissessar threw her support behind Dr Moonilal, saying the latest allegations were “fabricated,” and will not debar him from facing the party’s screening committee today.
“I am of the view that they continue to fabricate and make up as they go along. What they have put in the case has been rubbished, and now they are scrambling to find something else, which is total nonsense,” Persad-Bissessar said.
