HOUSING Minister Dr David Lee must be removed from the Cabinet, pending the ­resolution of his fraud case in the court, PNM chairman and MP for Arouca/Lopinot Marvin Gonzales said yesterday.

Lee was re-arrested on fraud charges on Tuesday and is currently out on $1 million bail.

Along with businessman Hugh Leong Poi, he was taken into custody by officers following a successful High Court challenge by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard which revived $1.4 million tax fraud and misbehaviour-in-public-office charges that were dismissed by a magistrate earlier this year.
