Manniram Prashad...in 1994 was the emissary for a group of fledgling money launderers of whom I had prepared and submitted files to Minister of Finance Asgar Ally. He lobbied Asgar Ally for my dismissal. Soon after the PPP made him a Minister and after some years he bought the Palm Court for USD2.5M cash..then spent a further USD3M cash demolishing the Palm Court building and constructing a 5 storey complex. Today he is trying to weasel his way into the new coalition government...maybe thinking he can fill some more suitcases with US dollars.
