The Ministry of Public Health has denied that minister Dr. George Norton instructed the Director of the Government Analyst Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) Marlan Cole to release all of the consignments belonging to Sueria Manufacturing Incorporated.
Stabroek News had reported on Monday that in the wake of complaints of victimisation by Sueria, Norton had instructed Cole to immediately approve the release of all of the company’s consignments and to first seek clearance from him before any future decision to seize or withhold shipments from any importers.
Contacted by Stabroek News, Cole confirmed that he has not received a letter or any other directive from the Minister in relation to Sueria.
