No Conflicit Of Interest In Dr Abdool-Richards’ Appointment To Angostura Board, Say Health Minister.

Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh is maintaining that there is no conflict of interest in the appointment of Principal Medical Officer Dr Maryam Abdool-Richards to the Board of Angostura Holdings Limited.

Mr Deyalsingh was questioned at the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 briefing, Monday, on how the appointment was allowed given Dr Abdool-Richards’ role as a healthcare professional and the various ills associated with the use of alcohol.

Minister Deyalsingh said he has cleared this matter with the Permanent Secretary, adding that the Public Service Regulations do not debar it.
