And while Barrow tries to put PM Briceno in the hot seat, the genesis of the Definitive Agreement rests with a UDP Minister, Erwin Contreras.
So, shouldn't he be investigated if he signed such a wrong agreement? Barrow says it goes both ways:
Reporter
"Mister Contreras, former Minister Contreras - the former AG Michael Peyrefitte has said that he had no authority whatsoever to have gone into that agreement single handedly. Do you think he should be investigated, Mr Contreras?"
Shyne Barrow, UDP Leader
"The Prime Minister of this country attempted to take that definitive agreement and bring it to the legislature, so the Prime Minister needs to be investigated. Whatever they want to do, let it be what is good for the goose, is good for the gander. They are both in the same boat, as far as I am concerned."
"And it is more glaring that a prime minister who never supports anything that the UDP does, no matter how good it is, no matter how right it it is, would take something that was done without the knowledge of the UDP cabinet, that was done without the knowledge of the former Prime Minister, that was done without the knowledge of any of the Ministers, that was done after parliament dissolved, the fact that the Prime Minister did not come out and say, this definitive agreement is terrible and there's no way, look, look at what the UDP did. NO! He just said that definitive agreement binding."
