In a special statement today, the Prime Minister said that he has been asked to appear before the PSC.

The Prime Minister asserted that the PSC is legal and has been accepted by court.

The Prime Minister also said that the No Confidence Motion brought against him and the cabinet was defeated by a majority vote in Parliament yesterday.
