ForÂmer prime minÂisÂter Dr. KeiÂth RowÂley is trigÂgerÂing sharp reÂsponsÂes from govÂernÂment minÂisÂters afÂter he reÂferred to Prime MinÂisÂter KamÂla PerÂsad-BissesÂsar as a âjametteâ.
CouÂva South MP BarÂry Padarath conÂdemned the comÂment as deÂgradÂing and inÂapÂproÂpriÂate for a forÂmer head of govÂernÂment.
âWhen a forÂmer prime minÂisÂter adÂdressÂes the counÂtry in this way, it is not strength. It is spite, vulÂgarÂiÂty and a comÂplete abÂsence of deÂcenÂcy,â Padarath said in a stateÂment.
