-Jagdeo says deal must be cancelled
Public Health Minister Dr George Norton has presented Parliament with the contract for the controversial Charlestown drug bond but without signatures and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo last evening said nothing short of a revocation of the deal would suffice.
Norton and the government have come under unrelenting pressure over the contract since he made disclosures about it after intense questioning in Parliament on August 8 during consideration of a financial paper.
It was later revealed that Norton had provided false answers to several of the questions and he is set to make a public apology today to Parliament even though there have been growing calls for his removal and for Cabinet to take the ultimate responsibility.
