President Irfaan Ali should immediately fire Minister of Local Government Nigel Dharamlall and simultaneously the Integrity Commission should launch an investigation into the breaches of code of conduct by the minister, former auditor general Anand Goolsarran has said.
His call came even as former Speaker of the National Assembly Ralph Ramkarran called for clarity on Dharamlall’s future in government, raising questions on what if he were charged or remained on administrative leave. Ramkarran, in his Sunday Stabroek column ‘Conversation Tree’ said, “the nature of the allegations and political considerations demanded an immediate response.”
