The Ministry of the Presidency this afternoon issued a one line statement saying that the appointment of Brian Tiwari as Ministerial Advisor on Business Development has been rescinded.
The statement said nothing else.
Tiwari’s appointment in January this year under the signature of Minister of State Joseph Harmon was revealed in the Sunday edition of the Kaieteur News. The appointment raised concerns about the basis on which it occurred. It had not been announced by the government. Tiwari had been closely linked to the previous government and is a major contractor in the construction and sea defence sectors. Early on in the life of this administration, he was embroiled in a dispute with Minister of Communities, Ronald Bulkan over the Haags Bosch landfill project.
