CEPEP’s CEO Keith Eddy has threatened legal action against Opposition Senator and former Rural Development and Local Government minister Faris Al-Rawi over what he describes as a “malicious and politically motivated smear campaign.”

Through his attorney, Aasha Ramlal, of Freedom Law Chambers, led by former attorney general Anand Ramlogan, SC, Eddy sent a pre-action protocol letter to Al-Rawi, notifying him of an intended claim for defamation of character.

The letter accuses the senator of making “false, baseless and damaging” statements against Eddy on four separate occasions, on July 29, August 7, 12 and 13, at press conferences, political meetings, and media interviews.
