OPPOSITION MP Camille Robinson-Regis has defended Opposition Leader Pennelope Beckles, saying she will act on Senator Janelle John-Bates when she is ready. She also criticised Government members, pointing out that Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar took no action regarding her own members who had questions to answer.

Robinson-Regis specifically named Housing Minister David Lee, whom she noted is out on bail; Energy Minister Roodal Moonilal, who is before the court; and Mayaro MP Nicholas Morris, whom she described as 'Mr False Paper'.

'Madam Deputy Speaker, we will not have them impugn our leader. When she is ready to act, she will act. All of them on that side have questions to answer!' said Robinson- Regis.
