Lawrence is already before the courts where she is facing private criminal charges. Those charges were filed by Minister of Culture Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr.
This afternoon, Lawrence’s attorney Nigel Hughes said she was asked several questions by the police. He added that the investigators asked Lawerence about her passport signature and whether she knew Mr. Mingo. Hughes said the police presented some documents to her and inquired if the signatures on the documents were her’s . He said throughout the interview lawrence remained silent.
Former Health Minister Volda Lawrence said she doesn’t know what to make of the line of questions posed to her. Lawrence was speaking with reporters outside of the Criminal Investigation Department shortly after she was released. Lawrence noted the questions the police were asking and said she wondered if the police took time out to read the various acts and provisions on which they operate as political appointees.
Soon after, Lawrence addressed supporters who had gathered beyond the barriers, updating them on the status of the investigation.
This Morning Attorney Hughes said Lawrence was invited to be at the Criminal Investigation Department at 11 hrs by investigators, but when they arrived the investigative ranks were not present.
Lawrence is expected to return to the CID Headquarters tomorrow at 8:00 hrs for further questioning.
