While San Fer­nan­do East MP Bri­an Man­ning has pub­licly aired his griev­ances with his con­stituen­cy ex­ec­u­tive and the Peo­ple's Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM), his moth­er, for­mer gov­ern­ment min­is­ter Hazel Man­ning, is tak­ing a marked­ly dif­fer­ent ap­proach.

When con­tact­ed by Guardian Me­dia for com­ment on the deep­en­ing dis­pute with­in the con­stituen­cy and the rep­ri­mand her son re­ceived from par­ty of­fi­cials on Mon­day, Mrs Man­ning re­mained tight-lipped.

Re­spond­ing to all ques­tions posed by Guardian Me­dia, she said she had noth­ing to say "just yet."
