Attorney Prakash Ramadhar has issued an ultimatum to Prime Minister Stuart Young, insisting that the one million dollar ex-gratia payment promised to victims of the Paria diving tragedy be delivered within one week. Failure to meet this deadline will result in legal action, he added.
“Today, with my colleague Ms Saira Lakhan, president of the Assembly of Southern Lawyers, and her law firm Magnus, we have issued a letter to the Prime Minister calling upon him, we do not believe that, without prod, this cheque would be forthcoming.”
During a media conference at his office in Curepe yesterday, Ramadhar, who is representing the families of Fyzal Kurban and Yusuff Henry, confirmed that a letter was sent to the Prime Minister urging him to honour the payment.
