– makes it clear he has ‘no misunderstanding’ with Minister Ramsammy
EXECUTIVE Director of the Health Sector Development Unit (HSDU) within the Ministry of Health, Mr. Keith Burrowes, has vehemently refuted an erroneous report aired last evening on the television newscast, Prime News, which stated that he had resigned his post, and that his resignation stemmed from a misunderstanding with Health Minister Dr Leslie Ramsammy.

But without confirming or denying whether he has actually resigned, Burrowes, in a telephone comment to this newspaper shortly after the television newscast, made it clear the Prime News report was not true.

Burrowes also said contrary to what was reported on the newscast, he has “no issue with Minister Ramsammy”.

“This is not true,” Burrowes said, adding that, like any other organisation, there will be disagreements and just supposing there were disagreements between himself and the health minister, those would have been strictly on ‘Projects’.

Burrowes even went as far as saying that he shares a “very cordial” working relationship with the Health Minister.

According to Burrowes, he will not resign at the behest of anybody but when, and if he does decide to resign as Executive Director of HSDU, it would be because he wants to move on and certainly at his own calling.

“I will not allow any personality to provoke me into resigning; I am not easily influenced into giving up anything…and I want to make that clear,” he told the Guyana Chronicle.
