Na­tion­al Trans­for­ma­tion Al­liance (NTA) po­lit­i­cal leader Gary Grif­fith is dou­bling down on his claims that he’s re­spon­si­ble for draft­ing sev­er­al plans for Op­po­si­tion Leader Kam­la Per­sad-Bises­sar in­clud­ing the for­ma­tion of gov­ern­ment min­istries.

De­spite Per­sad-Bisses­sar rub­bish­ing these claims as “lies” on Wednes­day, Grif­fith said he has proof.

Ad­dress­ing sup­port­ers at an NTA po­lit­i­cal meet­ing in Diego Mar­tin on Wednes­day, Grif­fith said while he was Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty ad­vi­sor in the old Peo­ple’s Part­ner­ship gov­ern­ment, she leaned on him to draft sev­er­al min­istries. He claimed she con­tin­ues to steal his plans ahead of the up­com­ing Gen­er­al Elec­tion.

Dur­ing the meet­ing, Grif­fith asked for Per­sad-Bisses­sar’s per­mis­sion to re­lease pri­vate emails be­tween them, to sup­port his claims.

Grif­fith said, “I call­ing you out Kam­la. You have called me a liar. I am ask­ing your per­mis­sion to re­veal all of the emails show­ing that I draft­ed, the Min­istry of De­fence. I draft­ed the Min­istry of Home Af­fairs. I draft­ed the Min­istry of Jus­tice. I draft­ed the Na­tion­al Se­cu­ri­ty. I rec­om­mend­ed the $1000 for pro­tec­tive ser­vices of­fi­cers. I draft­ed the mil­lion dol­lars for the fam­i­lies of of­fi­cers... It tick­ling your ear­bells now Kam­la? You re­mem­ber­ing now?

Guardian Me­dia asked Grif­fith to pro­vide the emails for fact-check­ing pur­pos­es, but he said he would not do so with­out her per­mis­sion.

Ef­forts to con­tact the Per­sad-Bisses­sar on the is­sue were fu­tile yes­ter­day.
