Dr Marlan Cole’s tenure as the Director of the Government Analyst-Food and Drug Department (GA-FDD) came to an abrupt end yesterday when he was reassigned with immediate effect.
Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health Malcolm Watkins officially informed Cole of the decision following a meeting with him.
“Further to the meeting held with you this morning in the office of the Permanent Secretary, I am writing to inform you that a policy decision has been taken by the Administration of this Ministry to re-assign you laterally within Programme 6 to lend technical support to the Director of Standards and Technical Services,” the letter states.
