The Prime Minister says he is willing to meet on Wednesday with the families of the divers who died in a Paria pipeline.

Last week, Kevin Lalchan, Vanessa Kussie and Annisa Kurban delivered a letter of the Office of the Prime Minister requesting a meeting, based on the PM’s previous indication of willingness.

Speaking to reporters yesterday in Santa Flora, Dr Rowley noted that he has instructed his office to invite the families to the meeting.

Mr Lalchan, in a statement on Facebook, noted that the meeting is long overdue, but it is a start, promising to keep his followers updated.
