Rohee declares…
Minister Singh’s accident a Police matter
GENERAL Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), Mr. Clement Rohee made it clear, yesterday, that the involvement of Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh in a road accident on Sunday night is “strictly” a Police matter.In his capacity as Home Affairs Minister, he reiterated the view and declined to comment further.
Rohee was speaking at a press conference in the party’s Freedom House, Robb Street, Georgetown headquarters.
According to media reports, Dr Singh’s vehicle collided with a car at Garnett Street and Delph Avenue, Campbellville, also in the city, resulting in the taxi driver and a passenger suffering minor injuries.
Both occupants of the other vehicle are, reportedly, doing well but there has since been no comment from the Minister on the accident, particularly as it relates to claims that he left the scene of the accident without following certain protocols.
