[www.inewsguyana.com] – Women’s rights activist, Sherlina Nageer was joined by a throng of other activists on Monday, April 27 as they protested outside the Office of President, calling for Health Minister Dr Bheri Ramsaran to be sacked from his Ministerial post.

Nageer and Ramsaran were recently involved in a nasty spat outside of the Whim Magistrate’s Court during which Ramsaran launched a scathing verbal attack on Nageer whom he called a little piece sh@t and promised to have her stripped and slapped.

Nageer at the protest said that the “only acceptable option is for Mr Ramsaran is to vacate that position.”

When questioned about statements to the effect that the People’s Progressive Party has used internal mechanisms to “sanction” the Health Minister, Nageer was not moved indicating that she had no confidence in whatever sanction was meted out to the Minister.

“Sanctioning? What does that mean? Sanctioning does not have any teeth. He is not fit to be in that position,” she lamented.

APNU’s Ronald Bulkan

Meanwhile, A Partnership For National Unity (APNU) Executive, Ronald Bulkan also present at the protest expressed his disgust with the course of action taken by the PPP administration with respect to the issue.

“I am here to express my abhorrence, my repulsion, my disgust that the President has not seen it fit to fire this Minister for his offensive conduct…I consider him to be a degenerate based on his conduct,” said Bulkan.

According to him, the Minister should have tendered his resignation post haste and not await a call for him to do so.

He noted that while members of the PPP administration have condemned Ramsaran he finds it “shocking that none of them has called on him to resign.”
