GINA this afternoon said that President Donald Ramotar has strongly reprimanded the Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran following revelation of statements he uttered during and following a public confrontation with a protesting citizen, Sherlina Nageer from Georgetown in Berbice.
“The statements and behaviour of the Minister do not reflect the high-standards I have set for Ministerial conduct nor the public’s expectations of an office holder. It is outright disrespectful and improper. I intend to have further discussions with the Minister on this matter,” President Ramotar said, according to GINA.
Observers and analysts have said that the only viable option for the President was to sack Ramsaran.
