Shadow Minister of Education Coretta McDonald on Monday rapped the Ali Government for failing to appoint an international independent commission to investigate the circumstances surrounding the dormitory fire that claimed the lives of 20 children in Mahdia on May 21st,2023.
According to the Opposition Parliamentarian, the report submitted on January 19th this year by the Mahdia Commission of Inquiry into the tragic incident is a cover-up aimed at obscuring the responsibilities of Education Minister Priya Manickchand.
But Manickchand in response to McDonald cited the inquiry’s report which she said cast blame on former Education Minister Dr Rupert Roopnaraine who served under the APNU+AFC government back in 2015.
