Oropouche East MP Dr Roodal Moonilal has described the PNM's referring Attorney General John Jeremie to Parliament's Privileges Committee, over recent comments he made during a "hot mic" moment in the Lower House, as trivial and frivolous.

"Those matters are, to me, as a former leader of government business, extremely trivial and frivolous. One has to understand that in Parliament, there's usual banter and cross-talk. Those things are very common," Moonilal said at his constituency office in Debe on November 26.

He recalled that, over the years, he too, engaged in some of that banter.
