Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley, is taking legal action against Oropouche East MP, Dr. Roodal Moonilal, over allegations made against him in Parliament on October 9th.

Dr. Rowley has instructed his Attorney to file suit for libel against Dr. Moonilal as well as United National Congress Chaguanas Alderman and Public Relations Officer of the UNC National Women's Arm, Marisa Ramlogan, in connection with the allegations.

The Prime Minister has also requested a criminal investigation into the allegations.

A statement from the Office of the Prime Minister on Thursday afternoon said Dr. Rowley sent correspondence to the Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, and the Director of the Financial Intelligence Unit, Susan Francois, requesting an investigation into the allegations of criminal conduct made against him and other persons by Member of Parliament for Oropouche East, Dr. Roodal Moonilal, in Parliament on Tuesday, October 9th, 2018.

Prime Minister Rowley requested that both recipients, as a matter of urgent public interest, report on their findings and to take any and all appropriate action, as the circumstances may warrant.

On Wednesday, the Prime Minister refuted Dr. Moonilal's claims that he was the beneficiary of payments from the drilling company, A&V Drilling, calling the accusation a "monstrous lie." He also said he has no banking relationships in the US or transacted any business in Florida.
