No conflict of interest in Omar Shariff having private business -Ramotar

Former President Donald Ramotar says that he saw no conflict of interest in Omar Shariff working at the Office of the President as Permanent Secretary (PS) and running a business simultaneously since nothing in his contract with government prohibited it.

“I knew he had a business but I did not know the nature of the business. It seems to me that he was not tied down and not deeply involved in the day to day running of it, as he was always around when needed and performed his duties diligently,” Ramotar said in response to questions from Stabroek News.
