MP Khadijah Ameen’s legal team has issued a Pre-Action Protocol Letter to social media blogger Rhoda Bharath demanding that she remove and apologise for her post in which she alleged that MP Ameen played a role in procuring fake vaccination cards for her constituency staff.

Take a look at the rest of the statement issued by MP Ameen below:

“Although, Miss Bharath could not be found by the server yesterday and the day before that (Wednesday and Thursday), MP Ameen said she received a call from her attorney this morning (Friday 14th January 2022) confirming that Miss Bharath was in fact served at 11:02 am.

MP Ameen has adamantly denied the serious allegations circulating from the paid PNM blogger. The blogger accused MP Ameen of participating in a criminal offence of procuring fake Covid-19 vaccine cards without a shred of evidence.

MP Ameen stated, “I usually do not directly respond to these reprehensible comments and accusations especially from PNM trolls, but we cannot allow persons to shamelessly attack an individual’s character without any substantiations and without consequences.”

Throughout these allegations, MP Ameen has maintained that vaccination is not a requirement for employment or for constituents to access services at her office unlike in the public service where thousands are being threatened with job loss in the government’s vaccine mandate that it labels a “Quasi safe zone policy”.

MP Ameen rendered, “In the face of these baseless accusations, I wish to thank those who have expressed support publicly, and personally either in person or via phone. I wish to assure the constituents of St. Augustine that I will continue to serve with integrity and I will not be intimidated in my representation of their needs.”

The United National Congress is pleased to announce the selection by the Screening Committee and confirmation by the National Executive of Mr. Khemraj Sunil Seecharan as the UNC Candidate in the Debe South bye-election to be held on 7 February 2022.

Mr. Seecharan was born and raised in Debe South. He is an enterprising and determined young man with a passion for people, community and culture, coming from a family that was always involved in community building and development.

He was the founding Chairman of the Penal Debe Foundation – a nationally recognised NGO advocating for Disaster Mitigation and championing disaster and community relief. Khemraj’s mantra is “Together We Can.”

Mr. Seecharan is committed to providing the burgesses of Debe South with proper representation to those burgesses who have been denied representation by this dictatorial PNM government for almost one full year, following the death of Mr Purshottam Singh. Mr. Seecharan recognises the contributions of late councillor Singh and will continue the good work started under his tenure
