He reiterated that Minister Roberts received his ministerial portfolio on a COP ticket and as such, the decision made by the COP is consistent with all issues of serious allegations.

Mr. Ramadhar said the country’s interest is what is important.
He said the party has not called on the Prime Minister to take action at this time, however based on the COP’s policy, the suspension was deemed necessary.
