Reply to "‘I have done nothing illegal,’ Walrond says"

The issue is not whether the PPP should or shouldn't hire Walrond, Pasad or Singh. The issue is that people who hold dual citizenship cannot be members of parliament. Prior to the NCV there were many people holding dual citizenship and sitting in the house. Charandass Persaud was one of them. In the legal battles over the NCV the courts ruled decisively that dual citizens cannot be MPs. This was widely publicized and the politicians and lawyers certainly knew the law on the issue. Walrond, a lawyer, knew all of this and yet she allowed herself to be sworn in as an MP while still a dual citizen. So tell me, is she an innocent pawn in a political pissing contest or is she just plain "chupid" and trying to be wrong and strong? Let's see what the court says about this?
