Hard on the heels of the res­ig­na­tion of Calder Hart, Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Ma­haraj is call­ing on Prime Min­is­ter Patrick Man­ning and the en­tire Ude­cott board to step down. In May 2008, Ma­haraj had raised in Par­lia­ment the is­sue of CH De­vel­op­ment be­ing award­ed a con­tract to two rel­a­tives of Hart's wife. As a re­sult of this, Ma­haraj said Man­ning was forced to ap­point a Com­mis­sion of In­quiry.

"But, it's not on­ly Hart should re­sign. The en­tire Ude­cott board who de­fend­ed Hart along with the Prime Min­is­ter should ten­der their res­ig­na­tions. "Man­ning and his Cab­i­net sup­port­ed and de­fend­ed Ude­cott. The Prime Min­is­ter's po­si­tion was that Hart had done no wrong." Ma­haraj said Man­ning must not use Hart's res­ig­na­tion as an ex­on­er­a­tion of his Gov­ern­ment, nor should Hart be ex­on­er­at­ed from the le­gal con­se­quences of his ac­tions.
