…Nageer says President’s action is a desperate attempt to regain confidence and support Minister of Health, Dr. Bheri Ramsaran, has been relieved from his post as Minister of Health amid a bitter scandal involving human rights activist, Sherlina Nageer.The former Health Minister during the first tirade against women’s rights activists, Sherlina NageerDr. Ramsaran has been replaced by Dr. Jennifer Westford,Samed Yesil Liverpool Jersey UK, the country’s current Minister of Public Service.Over the past nine days, two recordings surfaced with the former Health Minister being verbally abusive to Nageer; in one he was heard threatening to slap her and have her stripped.Dr. Ramsaran made headlines when last week, a recording of him calling the women’s rights activist “an idiot”, “a little piece of shit”, threatening to “slap her ass…just for the fun of it”,Jon Singleton Astros Jersey, and to have her stripped by “some of my women” surfaced.The first recording caused quite a stir with even several members of the diplomatic corps condemning Ramsaran’s actions. It did not even end there, however. The day after he issued an apology for his “harsh words” Ramsaran launched into another tirade against Nageer.The second time the Health Minister was recorded labeling Nageer a “miscreant,” saying that she was in need of “psychiatric help.”With elections less than two weeks away and with pressuring mounting from all sectors of society for him to make the “right move”, President Donald Ramotar yesterday announced that embattled Dr. Bheri Ramsaran has been relieved of his ministerial duties. This was after a meeting between the two.A release from the Office of the President said “Minister Bheri Ramsaran has since been relieved of his Ministerial duties following a meeting with the President.
