Mi­nor­i­ty Leader Kelvon Mor­ris has dared sit­ting In­fra­struc­ture Sec­re­tary Trevor James to present any ev­i­dence he claims to have re­gard­ing an al­leged mul­ti-mil­lion-dol­lar road con­struc­tion scan­dal to the po­lice, in­sist­ing that threats of jail time “mean noth­ing.”

Mor­ris is­sued the chal­lenge while speak­ing at a Peo­ple’s Na­tion­al Move­ment (PNM) po­lit­i­cal meet­ing in Ma­son Hall on Mon­day night. He was re­spond­ing to al­le­ga­tions by James of ir­reg­u­lar­i­ties in road con­struc­tion con­tracts award­ed un­der the pre­vi­ous PNM ad­min­is­tra­tion.

“All of a sud­den he turn po­lice. I in­vite you to take those mat­ters to the po­lice be­cause you will make their job very easy. I sure you not com­ing out from there,” Mor­ris told sup­port­ers.
