Prime Minister Patrick Manning yesterday remained mum on the rejection of Senior Supt Stephen Williams as the PSC's choice for Police Commissioner.

Pressed for answers by reporters after the Must graduation ceremony at UTT, Manning said he had nothing to say.

“Yesterday the matter was debated in Parliament and our two ministers spoke, all that has to be said was said in Parliament yesterday, I have nothing more to add to that,” he said hastily.

Asked if there was a secret meeting with Williams as was reported in the media last week and which was reiterated by Opposition Chief Whip Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj in Parliament yesterday, Manning said, “By now you should know that you must not listen to what Mr Maharaj says, I did meet with Mr Williams but he (Maharaj) does not know what it was about.”

Questioned further about if he intends to take Maharaj to the Privileges Committee for the allegations made against him, Manning added, “I don’t have time to waste, Ramesh Maharaj does not occupy my time folks, I know him too well.

“Enjoy your day,” he said, before hurriedly being whisked away to a waiting car by his security detail. —Leah Sorias
