GINA said that he then reflected on the celebration of Christmas in the olden days when the country wasn’t in such a good position and it was difficult to bake cakes because butter was rarely available.

He said it was a pleasure to be a part of the ceremony and share in the spirit of Christmas. He extended warm wishes on behalf of his family and self, as well as the government to the gathering. He also extended best wishes to the Ramsaroop family, and commended them for the wonderful job they have been doing, GINA said.
