He supported calls by leaders for the prime minister to step down.

 

The Prime Minister announced yesterday that evidences before government show that the Task Force Sweep was politically compromised thus calling for a major investigation.

 

Mr. Koim’s response yesterday questioned the prime minister whether he had enough evidence to prove his defamatory claims.

 

Basil was minister for National Planning in the then O’Neill Namah government when he spearheaded the setting up of the Taskforce Sweep Team; he has condemned the disbanding of the anti-corruption office.
