Ramsammy confronted at UK meeting over prorogation, alleged links to Roger Khan

Dr Leslie Ramsammy

Agriculture Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy came under fire at a recent forum in the UK for misleading Guyanese citizens about the government’s suspension of parliament and over his alleged ties to now convicted drug kingpin Roger Khan.

Ramsammy was confronted by self-described political activist Norman Browne, who questioned why he was at the forum and not the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Browne, who faced strong opposition from most of those present at the meeting at Guyana’s London High Commission Office, also charged that President Donald Ramotar’s recent prorogation of the National Assembly was undemocratic.

In a nine-minute video posted on his Facebook page, Browne is shown in raised voice calling out the minister and the PPP/C’s government for corruption and mismanagement, even as he faced calls by those present to prove what he was saying while some supported him.

The video did not show the minister’s presentation as it appears as if it started just as the minister was about to complete his speech.
