Former CEPEP chairman Joel Edwards is denying any wrongdoing in extending CEPEP contracts.

He has categorically rejected any allegation that he deliberately and wilfully fabricated a so-called fraudulent misrepresentation with the intent of deceiving CEPEP into extending the CEPEP contracts in question, on the allegedly false premise that CEPEP was simply ratifying and implementing a decision already taken by the Cabinet.

“My client is not guilty of any fraud, misrepresentation or breach of statutory and/or common law duty,” attorney St Clair Michael O’Neil of SM O’Neil and Associates stated on behalf of Edwards in a letter to Anand Ramlogan’s Freedom Law Chambers yesterday.
