THE UNC disciplinary committee has not yet submitted its report to the party’s national executive regarding its decision to drop charges against the RamJackG faction of the party, party vice-chairman Vasant Bharath said on Thursday. He said the recommendations had to be submitted in writing before the report could be considered by the party’s highest decision making body — the national executive.

On Tuesday, the disciplinary committee met with Chaguanas West MP Jack Warner, Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj and Mayaro MP Winston ‘Gypsy’ Peters, at Rienzi Complex and decided against proceeding with charges brought against them by the national executive committee which is led by UNC and Opposition Leader Basdeo Panday.

The 25 charges, originated when the trio led a delegation to participate in a party national congress on March 22 which degenerated into a brawl between RamJackG supporters and security officers employed by the UNC executive.

However, Bharath said the disciplinary committee’s report had to be discussed by the national executive before an official statement could be made on either its findings or recommendations.
