In his remarks, Minister Trotman said Government looked forward to Nagamootoo’s presence in Parliament.
“We say to your wife and family, thank you for taking care of him, thank you for bringing him home to us, and we will not fail you. We have a duty to take care of him and we will not let you down and we will not fail you, Sir,” Trotman stated.
