PUBLIC Utilities Minister Colm Imbert has made good on his threat to file defamation claims against a local Tiktoker for allegedly making defamatory statements about him on social media platforms – Facebook and TikTok.

Imbert’s attorneys filed the claim in the Port of Spain High Court registry on April 17.

Robert Matthew Gibbs was named as the defendant in the lawsuit that contends the posts and videos, published in February, referred to the minister in defamatory terms and implied he was involved in dishonest and corrupt dealings among other serious allegations.
