Attorney General Basil Williams is attempting to adduce new evidence in the various cases which were heard before the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) pertaining to the motion of no-confidence in Parliament on December 21, 2018 and for which decisions are pending.
In an urgent notice of application today with the Trinidad-based CCJ, Williams via his attorney cites an interview that former APNU+AFC MP Charrandass Persaud gave where he allegedly said that he knew that persons with dual citizenship could not hold a seat in Parliament. The AG’s Chambers says this is new evidence that was not previously available. It was Persaud’s vote that enabled the motion of no-confidence to succeed.
