Alliance For Change (AFC) leader Khemraj Ramjattan says his party supports embattled Minister of Public Health Dr George Norton and believes that the nation should trust its leaders’ decision on the pharmaceutical bond contract.
While he believes that the APNU+AFC coalition government will “pay a heavy price” for its decision, Ramjattan is asking their supporters to rationalise the tough decisions the party had to make and to determine if the opposition was in their place, whether they would have done the same, and judge them accordingly.
“Well I don’t know what else I can say. I have indicated that indeed it is a sad episode and we are going to pay a heavy price for it. The whole arrangement here is, if the price is so heavy when comes the next election people remember this incident and forget all the rottenness that the PPP had done, then fine they can vote us out of government,” Ramjattan told Stabroek News yesterday.
