Leave no stone un­turned in find­ing the cul­prits, Labour Min­is­ter Er­rol McLeod says as he com­ment­ed on the al­leged threats on the life of Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and her Cab­i­net mem­bers. He said he al­ways had con­demned acts of vi­o­lence and called on law en­force­ment agen­cies to end such at­tempts. He made the state­ment dur­ing a cour­tesy call at the Na­tion­al En­tre­pre­neur­ship De­vel­op­ment Com­pa­ny's (Ned­co) of­fice in Co­coyea yes­ter­day, dur­ing the branch's cus­tomer ap­pre­ci­a­tion day. Say­ing such threats al­ways would af­fect a coun­try neg­a­tive­ly in the in­ter­na­tion­al are­na, he said it was how lo­cal se­cu­ri­ty sys­tems re­spond­ed that would de­ter­mine the out­look.

McLeod said: "I have al­ways dep­re­cat­ed any at­tempt to do in­jus­tice against any­body. In the case of the Prime Min­is­ter and col­league min­is­ters be­ing threat­ened, I en­cour­age our in­tel­li­gence agen­cies and our law en­force­ment agen­cies to en­sure that no stone is left un­turned in iden­ti­fy­ing very care­ful­ly the cul­prits and putting such at­tempts to an end once and for all. "I think such re­ports, such threats will al­ways af­fect the coun­try neg­a­tive­ly. "It is how our sys­tems re­spond that will bring the re­as­sur­ance that will be nec­es­sary to the in­ter­na­tion­al and al­so our na­tion­al com­mu­ni­ty."
