For­mer prime min­is­ter Dr. Kei­th Row­ley is trig­ger­ing sharp re­spons­es from gov­ern­ment min­is­ters af­ter he re­ferred to Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar as a “jamette”.

Cou­va South MP Bar­ry Padarath con­demned the com­ment as de­grad­ing and in­ap­pro­pri­ate for a for­mer head of gov­ern­ment.

“When a for­mer prime min­is­ter ad­dress­es the coun­try in this way, it is not strength. It is spite, vul­gar­i­ty and a com­plete ab­sence of de­cen­cy,” Padarath said in a state­ment.
