PNCR, AFC call for resignation of Ramson over Thom matter

Charles Ramson

-Jagdeo says situation was `badly handled’

The Alliance for Change (AFC) and the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) yesterday called for the resignation of Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr. following his controversial exchange with Head of the Burrowes School of Art,  Ivor Thom.

That exchange led to Thom resigning from his post before recanting after the intervention of Vice President Bharrat Jagdeo.

Ramson has remained silent on the matter and all attempts by Stabroek News to obtain a comment from him have been unsuccessful.
