Alliance For Change elections scrutineer, Nicola Trotman yesterday declined to answer questions when she took the stand before the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into the March 2020 General and Regional Elections.
Trotman had from the outset advised the commission via her attorney Nigel Hughes that she wished not to offer any testimony before the commission. She stated that she was involved in an elections petition matter and runs the risk of incrimination during her testimony.
After enquiries by Chairman of the Commission, Retired Justice of Appeal, Stanley John and Commissioner Carl Singh, Hughes advised his client that the commission wished for her to take the stand.
