Siparia Bor­ough Cor­po­ra­tion alder­man Vic­tor Roberts says he has no ob­jec­tion to laws be­ing changed to al­low po­lit­i­cal par­ties to re­voke the ap­point­ments of of­fi­cials in po­si­tions like his, but main­tains that un­der the cur­rent leg­is­la­tion he has no in­ten­tion of re­sign­ing.

His com­ments come as mem­bers of the Unit­ed Na­tion­al Con­gress (UNC) con­tin­ue to call on the al­der­man—who re­cent­ly de­fect­ed to the Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM)—to step down from his lo­cal gov­ern­ment post on grounds of in­tegri­ty.
