President says has not considered whether Dharamlall will have any further role in gov’t

President Irfaan Ali yesterday said that there have been no deliberations on the possible re-employment of Nigel Dharamlall by government nor has the former minister who resigned following rape allegations by a 16-year-old girl asked for new job considerations.

“In the course of natural justice, the system that supports natural justice must be allowed to work and that is what the President did. Whether the minister who is a citizen will have any (further) work in government is not something I have considered nor has he requested, at this moment,” Ali yesterday said at a press conference at the Office of the President, in response to questions from Stabroek News.
