Why the use of the word "allegedly" here? We all heard her say it, and she even admitted to it!!! Who are they trying to protect?

People's National Party (PNP) attorney K.D. Knight responded angrily to a statement allegedly made by Senator Dorothy Lightbourne that Knight said “all labourite fi dead”.
He described the statement as being “evil” and a lie.
“What is reported to me is that the minister of justice and attorney general said that I have said all labourite fi dead...it is an egregious lie. It is an evil statement and I believe that probably motivated to jeopardize my security," Knight said.
"I have never said that not as minister, not as a private citizen,” Knight said once the enquiry resumed for the afternoon session.
Knight said he asked his colleagues for confirmation after hearing the report that Lightbourne said so.
He asked for Commissioner Emil George's indulgence.
“I believe that of all the attorneys in this room, I have the best relationship with those persons who come here," he said.
“Their political allegiance is known and I believe I have with the majority overwhelming majority of (the enquiry attendees) an excellent relationship," he said.
Justice Minister Lightbourne in her response stuck to her claim. She said since Knight's utterance, she has not dealt with him.
Knight said he and Lightbourne had an almost 'warm' relationship.
Commissioner Emil George has adjourned the sitting to discuss the statement.
