– says independent COI to commence soon; foreign agencies could be involved
Even as divers battle harsh conditions in the Atlantic to reach the sunken MV Barima, Prime Minister (PM) Brigadier (Ret’d) Mark Phillips states that the search and recovery operation will continue until they have recovered most, if not all, of the remaining bodies that are still unaccounted for.
“Search and recovery operations remain a national priority, with personnel and resources fully committed to the effort. These operations will continue for as long as necessary to ensure that every possible effort is made to account for those affected with the utmost care, dignity, and respect,” Phillips declared on Friday during his late update on the tragedy.
