A 22-year-old New York-based woman is accusing Minister of Local Government Nigel Dharamlall of harassing her for sexual relations at a time when she was vulnerable and in a depressed state.
She had shared the information about her depressed state with the Minister whom she met on Facebook.
Stabroek News made attempts to contact Dharamlall on his mobile number for comment over a two-day period but there was no answer. A call yesterday to the Minister’s office saw this reporter speaking to a woman who identified herself as his Personal Assistant Quini Edmund.
