General Secretary of the PPP, Bharrat Jagdeo, yesterday said that the party has not yet discussed the allegations and the probe of rape against party executive and former minister, Nigel Dharamlall, but it will not stall its meetings for appointments to other positions pending the completion of the police investigations.
Discussing the issue for the first time since Dharamlall was questioned by the police and put on $500,000 station bail, the General Secretary said that the party will await the outcome of the probe.
“Our meeting has nothing to do with the police probe. The police probe is an independent probe. That has nothing to do with party business,” Jagdeo said when asked by the Stabroek News if the dates for the holding of meetings by the Central Executive will be delayed pending the outcome of the probe.
