A tele­vi­sion host has re­quest­ed the dis­clo­sure of records re­lat­ed to mo­tor ve­hi­cle tax ex­emp­tions, State-fund­ed hous­ing, and med­ical ex­pens­es claimed by mem­bers of the for­mer Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) gov­ern­ment.

Naz­im Ish­mael made the re­quest in a le­gal let­ter sent by his lawyer Richard Jag­gasar to the Min­istry of Fi­nance on Mon­day.

In the cor­re­spon­dence, ob­tained by Guardian Me­dia, Jag­gasar claimed that Ish­mael, whose broth­er is so­cial ac­tivist and busi­ness­man In­shan Ish­mael, first made a re­quest un­der the Free­dom of In­for­ma­tion Act (FOIA) on April 2.
