MP for Port-of-Spain North/St Ann’s West Stu­art Young is call­ing on Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to im­me­di­ate­ly re­move Min­is­ter of Hous­ing David Lee from her Cab­i­net.

He warned that al­low­ing a min­is­ter fac­ing crim­i­nal charges to re­main in of­fice sets a “dan­ger­ous” prece­dent and un­der­mines pub­lic trust.

In a Face­book post, Young stat­ed, “It is un­ac­cept­able for a Cab­i­net Min­is­ter of the Re­pub­lic of Trinidad and To­ba­go to be the sub­ject of crim­i­nal charges, out on bail, and con­tin­ue sit­ting in Cab­i­net.
