The system did not work for the 16-year-old who alleged that she was sexually assaulted by former minister of Local Government and Regional Deve-lopment Nigel Dharamlall, Head of the Alliance for Change (AFC) Khemraj Ramjattan has said.

Ramjattan made this remark at an AFC press conference, shortly after President Irfaan Ali remarked that the system had worked following a No Further Action statement from the complainant.

“All the state institutions would have bungled… this matter. It is a debacle. How could it be that the process worked, what process?” Ramjattan queried.
