Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment for Cou­va North, Ravi Rati­ram, has urged the Gov­ern­ment to al­lo­cate im­me­di­ate and ad­di­tion­al re­sources to the search for Able Sea­man (AB) Kieron Si­mon, who went miss­ing at sea on Thurs­day morn­ing.

“Our na­tion is hold­ing its breath, and a fam­i­ly is liv­ing a night­mare,” MP Rati­ram stat­ed. “We can­not af­ford de­lays. I am call­ing on the Gov­ern­ment to do what is right and de­ploy every pos­si­ble re­source to bring AB Si­mon home.”

He has urged the Gov­ern­ment to pro­vide aer­i­al sup­port, spe­cial­ized div­ing teams, un­der­wa­ter scan­ning equip­ment, and ad­di­tion­al mar­itime ves­sels.
