President Donald Ramotar is not sincere in his “humility” appealing to the military to get their votes. Guyana’s military is advised not to vote for President Ramotar and the PPP.

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 notes the Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran has been relieved of his portfolios by President Donald Ramotar and welcomes this move, though this came days after his abuse of Ms. Sherlina Nageer and only after public pressure from all quarters.  Looking through the lens of the trade union being relieved from duties does not necessarily translate to being fired.

Earlier today President Donald Ramotar relieved Health Minister Bheri Ramsaran of his Ministerial duties and named Dr. Jennifer Westford to act as Minister of Health.

This comes a week after Mr. Ramsaran's verbal insults aimed at human rights activist Ms. Sherlina Nageer and after widespread condemnation by the press and the international community.

I was there at the APMU/AFC campaign event at Narissa Palace in Queens, NY on March 22, 2015 and was personally involved. The facts are as follows:

I was about 15 feet away from the elderly gentleman mentioned in the Guyana Times article, who was sitting close to the back of the room when I heard someone in a raised voice saying “this man is interrupting the meeting and is a PPP supporter.” I immediately approached the gentleman and told the three or four persons who were agitated about his comments that I would handle the situation and that it will be ok.
