FORMER Education Minister, Presbyterian minister priest and UG Lecturer, Dr. Dale Bisnauth, died Wednesday at the Caribbean Heart Institute at the Georgetown Public Hospital.
Members of the National Assembly
yesterday paid tribute to the late PPP/C Member of Parliament by according him the traditional one minute silence.
Speaker Raphael Trotman, referring to the late Dr. Bisnauth as an esteemed member of society, stated, “He was a gentleman, a man of the cloth who served in the Ministry of Education and Cultural Development, with effect from October 1992, and the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security. We remember him not only for his contribution to this House and to the body of Christ, but we remember him through academia, for he was also a historian.”
Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, accepting the tribute to the late MP on behalf of the Administration, recalled the late Dr. Bisnauth’s contribution to government as a member of the civic component of the PPP/C during the lead-up to the 1992 elections, and subsequently during the following three Parliaments where he contributed greatly to the administration. “We cannot easily replace him,” PM Hinds stated.
