Former attorney general Anand Ramlogan, SC, has praised Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for offering to get mediators to deal with the issue of compensation for families of the deceased divers and the lone survivor involved in the Paria Fuel diving tragedy.
During Thursday’s post-Cabinet media briefing, Persad-Bissessar said Government was looking into ensuring those involved received the $1 million in compensation which former prime minister Stuart Young had promised just before the General Election.
“We’re looking at it to see how best we can do it, but there’s a bit of a complication which I’d need further advice on from the lawyers for the state, which represents taxpayers,” she said.
