SPEAKING with reporters at his weekly post-Cabinet press conference at the Office of the President in Georgetown, Cabinet Secretary, Dr Roger Luncheon yesterday confirmed that government has accepted the tendered resignation of Executive Director of the Health Sector Development Unit (HSDU), Mr. Keith Burrowes.

Luncheon said discussions are ongoing with Burrowes on the steps to address his continued contribution to the administration, and that he was totally unaware that Burrowes was planning to emigrate after tendering his resignation.

“It is for us essentially assigning, with Mr. Burrowes’s acquiescence, appointment other than in the HSDU. So I wouldn’t jump to conclusions. The most I would say is that we are locked in discussions on the way forward,” Dr Luncheon said.

Burrowes is Presidential Adviser on Finance and also the Chairman of Go-Invest and the Guyana National Newspapers Limited (GNNL).
