Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond yesterday said she has done “nothing illegal” and will continue right to sit in the National Assembly since she did “all that is within her power” to renounce her American citizenship before she was sworn in as a Member of Parliament (MP).
“…I am confident that I have done everything that was in my power to act morally [and] that the attempt to demerge my character has not gone unnoticed by the public. I am convinced that I have full legal right to sit in the National Assembly and that I have done nothing illegal and that I will continue to sit in the Assembly as a legal representative,” Walrond told reporters on the sidelines of an event held at the Marriott Hotel yesterday morning.
While stating that she does not want a trial in the public on the matter since it is currently engaging the court, Walrond reiterated that she embarked on the renunciation process prior to taking the oath of office. “As an attorney, I am cognisant that this matter is now engaging the court so I will refrain from speaking too much on the legal arguments,” she said.
