– missed flight and official engagement

HOME Affairs Minister Clement Rohee is said to be still ill and absent from his desk since November 7, 2013.

Guyana Chronicle has learned that the minister was scheduled to travel to New York early Monday morning but failed to turn up for the scheduled flight.
Minister Rohee is also General Secretary of the People’s Progressive Party (PPP), and according to sources close to the party, he wanted to travel to the United States to have further medical tests done.
While it was formally announced that Minister Rohee would have been present at the opening of the 4th Meeting of the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative Commission yesterday, the minister did not make an appearance.
The event at the Guyana International Conference Centre, Liliendaal, was instead addressed by Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who also announced that Mr. Rohee was still ill.
As late as September 12, 2013, the 63-year-old Rohee had expressed confidence in being fit to perform his duties as minister and de facto leader of the governing party.
