Bas­deo Pan­day-for­mer Prime Min­is­ter:

"Whether or not he is found guilty, he should not hold both posts at the same time (FI­FA vice pres­i­dent and Works and Trans­port Min­is­ter)," Pan­day said. He said the al­le­ga­tions of bribery against Warn­er be­ing in­ves­ti­gat­ed by FI­FA's Ethics Com­mit­tee might bring T&T's in­ter­na­tion­al rep­u­ta­tion in­to dis­re­pute. "It is up to Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar to de­cide, de­pend­ing on the out­come of FI­FA's in­ves­ti­ga­tion, whether Warn­er con­tin­ues as a gov­ern­ment min­is­ter, un­less he ten­ders his res­ig­na­tion," Pan­day said.

Op­po­si­tion MP Colm Im­bert:

"The sit­u­a­tion is very se­ri­ous for Warn­er," Im­bert said. "FI­FA must have a strong case against the ac­cused which would lead them to or­der a foren­sic in­ves­ti­ga­tion." "If found guilty, the Prime Min­is­ter will have a se­ri­ous de­ci­sion to make," he added.
