With the case file on an allegation of rape against the Minister of Local Government, Nigel Dharamlall now with the Director of Public Prose-cutions (DPP) for legal advice, opposition parties yesterday kept up the pressure for answers and accountability from both the embattled minister and the administration.
Meanwhile, Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday reiterated that government has an uncompromising stand against misconduct by officials.
“The president from the inception has said in our midst, this goes for both party and government, we don’t tolerate the abuse of children and adults. If the allegations prove true, if the minister is found guilty then he has to face the consequences,” he said.
