Minister Ramsaran’s Firing is a Victory for the Culture of Resistance
Minister Ramsarran, the minister who, like his comrades, believe that we are still a Plantation society, has been fired. It does not change anything about the PPP’s attitude to power. This firing is out of character for the PPP, which has been supremely stubborn on disciplining those guilty of official excesses. Minister Nandalall and several other errant ministers were not fired.

GTUC condemns PPP’s fear and smear political campaign
The GTUC calls on the PPP to stop its fear and smear political campaign. The statement by Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Roger Luncheon that the government is worried about the influx of former military officers to support the opposition party in the lead up to the May 11th polls is feigned indignation to continue its divide and rule policy, to divert attention, so as not to be held accountable for their stewardship. The PPP clearly demonstrates that it is prepared to continue using the military as a political football where they play both the challenging team and the defending team.
