While declaring that Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has the full backing of the administration, State Minister Joseph Harmon yesterday said government will not be engaging the PPP in the press over its concerns about him leading its delegation in unity talks with the opposition party.
“I would not venture to give any answer to the PPP or anyone who decides that they need to engage us in the press. Let Mr. Jagdeo, Mr. Rohee and the PPP come to us and say we don’t want to talk to you because Nagamootoo is there…. As of now, that is our team. The Prime Minister has the fullest confidence of this administration. We believe that he is a fair and just person who is capable to leading our team in the unity talks with the PPP/C,” Harmon told reporters during a post-Cabinet press briefing at Ministry of Presidency.
“We will engage that party sitting face to face across the table and making decisions which are in the interest of this country,”
