Minister of Housing Dr David Lee said yesterday he was vindicated of criminal charges before, and he has faith that he will have his day in court again and have his name cleared a second time.

The Express contacted the minister yesterday by phone after he was granted $1 million bail.

He stated: “Firstly, God is Great and I would like to thank my family, staff, Caroni Central and the many people who came and prayed for my safe return. I would like to thank my Prime Minister who has always supported me through this ordeal. I was cleared by the acting Chief Magistrate on 7th April 2025 and now for charges to be relaid after six-plus months, something does not sit well. I was vindicated before and I will have my day in court once more. To all my colleagues who have only shown me love and support I say thank you.”
