The PPP devoted most of its press conference yesterday to denouncing claims by former party stalwart Ralph Ramkarran that it had struggled to clamp down on corruption.
The party’s General Secretary Clement Rohee stated, “Of course I deny that the PPP is corrupt…”
He added, “I said that it is not only misleading it’s a downright and gross misrepresentation. Okay? Now it is for Ramkarran to point out the instances of corruption. If he wishes he may pluck them from the Stabroek News or the Kaieteur News or the Demerara Waves or other places but he should point to concrete instances and don’t regurgitate what is being said in the press about allegations of corruption.”
Rohee called on the former Speaker of the House to “quote in the same way that I did evidence to show or to substantiate what he said.
