OPPOSITION Senator David Nakhid has written a seventh letter to Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Roger Gaspard, SC, concerning an investigation into Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley.
He stated he could not attend Independence Day celebrations that would have featured President Paula-Mae Weekes and Dr Rowley.
In this letter, Nakhid wrote, “In celebration of our country’s much treasured 60th Independence, I felt compelled that my contribution to those celebrations, should be one not of the usual symbolism of flag waving, champagne toasts and executive dinners, but one that would highlight and enhance what true independence brings to a nation.”
He stated that true independence was meant to ensure that independent institutions remain beyond and free from political interference in any shape, form or fashion.
Nakhid wrote, “To this effect, I was unable to attend even the Independence Day performances of Laventille Desperadoes, as a dossier of evidence against our independent nation’s two highest office holders President Paula Mae Weekes and Prime Minister Dr Keith Christopher Rowley along with former Chairman of the Police Service Commission Bliss Seepersad was compiled to unequivocally prove that these three office holders undermined the Constitution of the country, broke the law in halting the Merit list already in the hands of the President, destined for the Parliament.”
Acting Commissioner of Police McDonald Jacobs. he said, benefited from the “illegal and criminal act” referred his previous letters to the Anti-Corruption Bureau.
Nakhid said, “This follow-up and complete, comprehensive dossier will no doubt eliminate any hesitancy or uncertainty that the bureau and indeed the general public may have as to the events that compromised three of our so-called independent institutions.”
The Opposition Senator claims that he was still awaiting an acknowledgement for the first six letters.
