This story is developing and will be updated.

Joseph Harmon is no longer the Director General of Ministry of the Presidency.

A source confirmed the development to Stabroek News and this newspaper understands that an announcement of his removal is due to be made shortly.

His removal has come a day after it was announced that President David Granger had made him the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Task Force (NCTF).

When he was contacted by this newspaper on Friday on whether the new appointment meant he would be leaving the ministry, Harmon said no.

Harmon, who is the co-chair of the APNU+AFC 2020 elections campaign, is one of four government ministers who had been forced to resign after the local courts ruled that dual citizens could not be Members of Parliament.

The assumption that you cannot have dual citizenship is not true. The Requirement for becoming a Member of Parliament is that one has to live in Guyana for seven years.

Harmon was more powerful than the PM. Moses spent the last 5 years fighting for power. He never did anything for the People who got him elected.

Looks like APNU paving the way to get Harmon sworn in sometime in May when Granger completes his five years to quality for the President lifetime pension.
