Energy Minister Daryl Vaz yesterday welcomed the settlement of a defamation lawsuit between himself and People’s National Party (PNP) General Secretary Dayton Campbell, describing it as vindication from what he called a “politically orchestrated rumour” that began four decades ago.Vaz, along with co-claimants, former Member of Parliament Othneil Lawrence and St Thomas Western Member of Parliament James Robertson, had filed the defamation suit against Campbell over statements he made during the PNP’s Clarendon North Western annual conference in July 2023.
