Moonilal queries delay in providing army report on AG’s children

Moonilal was addressing a United National Congress Monday Night Forum at Bamboo Presbyterian Primary School. The investigation centres on allegations that the authorisation came from Maharaj but he has denied this and has called for a retraction and a copy of the report.

Moonilal said two officials linked to the probe are beneficiaries of Housing Development Corporation (HDC) units. He said HDC units are not meant for any person who already owns properties. “How come you give them access to HDC housing? Was that also part of an inducement?” Moonilal also accused Stuart Young, Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, of going beyond his powers to recommend to the Public Service Transport Corporation (PTSC) to pay four contractors who, Moonilal alleged, had not tendered for their jobs.

In reply yesterday, Young, an attorney, told Newsday, “My legal advice, dated April 25 to the chairman of the PTSC is straightforward and self-explanatory.

Anyone reading the legal advice would appreciate the content of same and immediately discern that to suggest that there is anything untoward with the advice is misleading. I have nothing further to add.”
