Leader of the Independent Liberal Party (ILP) Jack Warner says he is now aware of a plot to ship Special Reserve Police (SRP) officer Jit Hardeen out of the country by Saturday.
Warner was addressing supporters at an ILP cottage meeting in Indian Walk Moruga on Wednesday night.
“The fella (Hardeen) give his number on tape, I have just been told that plans are afoot to ship him out of the country by Saturday,” said Warner. “How would I know that, that plans are afoot that he must leave here by Saturday and come back by September 7?”
He questioned Hardeen’s statements that the voice on the tapes made public by Warner on Tuesday was not his (Hardeen’s).
“Then after last night, when the tapes were made public, I am hearing the guy saying it is not his voice, well if it’s not his voice, I say must be Kamla own. Because how could I or anybody know the details of the tape? How could I know that Ramdharsingh personal assistant, a fella called Heeraram hang himself because of Ramdharsingh?”
Warner also denied claims that he was plotting to bring down the People’s Partnership government before he resigned as Works Minister in April, 2013.
“I resigned in April. Jit Hardeen spoke to me in August after the July 29 byelection, he came to me and those two tapes are 45 minutes each and he told me I don’t mind if you tape me, listen good I didn’t catch him off guard and he then poured his belly out,” he said.
Warner urged government members to ‘hold strain’ with their comments until he makes two new revelations.
“Why is Stacy (Roopnarine), (Roodal) Moonilal and (Stephen) Cadiz suddenly spokespersons? I said I have two more revelations to make, why they don’t wait until I finish say all I have to say and then respond. Because if they behave that way now, what will they do when the other two things are said, because I tell yuh, when I say them who eh dead badly wounded.
“All I’m telling them is hold strain, is not me put election three months away is she, so if you in the kitchen you have to feel the heat,” Warner said.
Warner told residents that if he were to reveal details of Persad-Bissessar’s actions, the meeting would last all night.
“If I was to bust mark on Kamla tonight the meeting wouldn’t end. But of what value that would be, I could tell Kamla how many smoke she had with Anil I was there you know but what that for, that does nothing for you in Moruga.
“In a fight, in a battle, you have to pace yourself,” he said.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Warner confirmed he had received a pre-action protocol letter from Hardeen’s attorneys as Hardeen said it was not him on the tapes Warner had played at a press conference on Tuesday.
“I get a foolish one last night, yes, a very foolish one I will talk about that tonight in Sangre Grande, it was very dotish, I will make it public tomorrow night,” he said.
