A staff member attached to the Caroni East constituency office has been placed on administrative leave following allegations that surfaced on social media, according to Member of Parliament for Caroni East, Dr. Rishad Seecheran.

In a statement, the MP’s office said it became aware of allegations involving one of its employees after they began circulating on Facebook.
