Speaking about his “level-headed deputy” – Stephenson is the parliamentary secretary in the Ministry of Health – Darroux said: “I want to reassure the nation that the recovery that Honourable Stephenson has made is really remarkable.
“Even the doctors in Martinique, with many years of experience, they’ve been amazed at the recovery that he has made.”
Darroux added he would be going to visit his colleague shortly after the news briefing.
