The Na­tion­al Joint Ac­tion Com­mit­tee (NJAC) sees no rea­son why Works and Trans­port Min­is­ter Jack Warn­er should re­lin­quish his Cab­i­net post in the face of re­cent bribery al­le­ga­tions made with­in FI­FA.

The par­ty, one of the units of the Peo­ple's Part­ner­ship coali­tion, said in a state­ment that "mere al­le­ga­tions can­not be com­pelling rea­son for such ac­tion to be tak­en." It added: "Fur­ther­more, NJAC finds it very dif­fi­cult to ac­cept that a man of such in­tel­li­gence and ex­pe­ri­ence would al­low him­self to be com­pro­mised, as al­leged. "Un­til and un­less more sub­stan­tial ev­i­dence is pro­duced, NJAC calls on the peo­ple of Trinidad and To­ba­go, and CON­CA­CAF, to sup­port Mr Jack Warn­er in his strug­gle to clear his name."
