PRIME MINISTER Moses Nagamootoo is scheduled to return to Guyana in the first week of April, just over two months after leaving to seek urgent medical attention in the United States.

Guyana Chronicle was told that Prime Minister Nagamootoo is expected on April 5th or 6th since a definite date has not yet been set for his return.
“There are plans for PM’s return to Guyana shortly, but the dates are not yet confirmed. He is expected to return this week,” a source said, noting that a welcome ceremony will be scheduled for him.

Minister of State Joseph Harmon had stated in a press release in February that the prime minister had underwent a routine medical examination locally and it revealed that he had a cardiac issue.

“Prime Minister Nagamootoo was advised to seek further medical intervention and brought forward a planned private visit to the United States,” the State Minister continued. He noted that the prime minister would have undergone by-pass heart surgery on February 13th at a medical institution in the US.

Since then the prime minister was being monitored and was up and about in a relatively short time following his successful surgery.
In his absence, Vice President and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl Greenidge had been performing the duties of prime minister.

Prime Minister Nagamootoo was accompanied to the US by his wife, Sita, and had the support of other close relatives.
