Ramjattan’s ex-employee wins court case

– victim secures judgment in full

Public Security Minister and Attorney-at-Law Khemraj Ramjattan has found himself on the wrong side of the law, having now to pay in excess of $266,000 for the wrongful dismissal of his former employee Alex Higgins.

On Thursday, Justice Diana Insanally ordered the Minister to pay Higgins the sum of $266,000 plus interests and costs after the he (Higgins) was dismissed by Ramjattan without lawful notice and severance after having worked for over three years as Ramjattan’s legal clerk.

Higgins was represented by Attorney at Law Charles Ramson Junior. Ramson in an invited comment, expressed his hope that this case be used as a message to workers across the country that they have a voice and that they should stand up for their rights. “It is a reminder of the institutional check on power which guards against the unfair treatment of people in this country,” he said.

During an interview with the Guyana Times shortly after the judgment was made, Higgins said he is certainly happy to know that he is very relieved that the court system worked in his favour. He noted that a Court Order was already served to the Minister, therefore if a period elapses without payment, he will instruct his lawyer to levy on his property upon advisement.

Higgins, who hails from Linden, Region Ten (Upper Demerara Upper Berbice) had told this newspaper that following the May 11 Elections, Ramjattan changed and had the employees attached to his private law firm hanging in hyperspace as uncertainty loomed about their continued employment, given his appointment to the Government as a Vice President and National Security Minister.

A series of unfortunate events subsequently unfolded, during which Higgins related that he was insulted, disrespected and humiliated by the Minister- who then refused to pay his severance package.

The young man claimed that Ramjattan told him that he was not entitled to a severance package.
Ramjattan had since denied these allegations, noting that he was not responsible for the young man’s dismissal.

Mr Ramjattan must respect the court's decision and poney up the $226,000 which he can afford easily. He will embarrass himself if he appeals the decision. Pay up and move on.

This confirms that Guyanese bought into the AFC/PNC lies. The backlash against the AFC/PNC lies is about to the unleashed.
