‘I have a clear conscience’ – Charrandas Persaud

Charrandas Persaud when he took the oath as a MP in 2015.

After enabling the collapse of the APNU+AFC government last night, Parliamentarian Charrandas Persaud told media operatives that he will die with a clear conscience.

“If I die now because people may not be happy with what I have done I will die a happy person. I will have a clear conscience,” Persaud said after casting his vote in favour of a no-confidence motion brought against government by Leader of the Opposition Bharrat Jagdeo.

Persaud, an attorney, who represents the AFC wing of the coalition, argued that representatives of the party of which he is a part have become “yes men” to the detriment of their integrity.
