The new Cab­i­net has been giv­en time to de­cide its po­si­tion on a law­suit brought by for­mer Cen­tral Bank gov­er­nor Jwala Ram­bar­ran seek­ing in­for­ma­tion rel­a­tive to his ter­mi­na­tion by the for­mer gov­ern­ment in 2015.

Af­ter he was fired by the then-Cab­i­net based on the ad­vice of for­mer fi­nance min­is­ter Colm Im­bert, Ram­bar­ran sought the in­for­ma­tion un­der the Free­dom of In­for­ma­tion Act (FOIA), which he claimed he need­ed to pur­sue a wrong­ful dis­missal case.
