AG gives Harmon ‘walking papers’

Joseph Harmon

Former Minister of State Joseph Harmon was yesterday formally fired from his position of Director General in the Ministry of the Presidency by Attorney General Anil Nandlall, even as he awaited word on a request for 42 days leave.

Harmon, who is also an attorney, told Stabroek News that he does not recognise Nandlall’s powers and that he had plans to return to work but did not state in what capacity.

His contract as Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency, which followed his departure from Parliament as Minister of State because of his dual citizenship, was signed on the 1st of May 2019 for three years; expiring on 31st May 2022.
