Education Ministry denies official moved for political reasons

The Ministry of Education yesterday rejected as “inaccurate and mischievous” a statement attributed to APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Sherod Duncan where he alleged that ministry official Fazal Ali was replaced by Darshini Balac for political reasons.

In a statement, the ministry said: “The truth is that Mr. Fazal Ali was hired on  the 1st April 2015 to be the Co-ordinator of the Ministry of Education’s Book Distribution Unit (BDU) when the Honourable Priya Manickchand was serving as minister.
