Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley’s news conference today is to address Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s defence of Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal, who stated that the fresh corruption claims against him in the EMBD court matter are “fabricated” and part of a racist strategy to campaign in the general election, alleging that “all them Indian is thief.”
The Prime Minister lambasted Persad-Bissessar and sent a message to the nation, particularly to East Indians, saying: “You have nothing to fear from the rest of the population. The law will determine who is police and who is thief. This is a particularly offensive comment by Mrs Kamla Persad-Bissessar”.
Speaking at a news conference at Whitehall, Port of Spain, he stated that contrary to Persad-Bissessar’s claims, this matter has nothing to do with the People’s National Movement (PNM) or the elections.
