Constituents condemn Laquis

THE CARONI East constituency of the United National Congress (UNC) has condemned threats to their MP Ganga Singh, made by Dr Joe Laquis, former PNM MP. A release from the constituency said the threat by Laquis was a brazen attempt to muzzle a sitting MP to prevent him from discharging his constitutional obligations to his constituents. Laquis said Singh would be banned from the East/West corridor after Singh implicated him in a matter involving WASA. The constituency called on Laquis to retract the threat as well as for Prime Minister Patrick Manning to publicly condemn it.
