Citizens as well as the opposition party PNM believe the situation is an international embarrasment. They believe this embarassment will be laid at the feet of the Prime Minister because she had the authority to appoint ministers. The PNM reminded the ruling party by saying "we told you so." The call is for the Prime Minister to tell the country what is the state of affairs regarding the Minister, and letting him step down from his position as minister until such time as he is clear of any or all allegtaions against him. They belive he should never have been appointed as a minister in the first place. They also believe the fact that she appointed him is the reason she is defending him now. Several request for party members to comment on the issue went unanswered.
