The State has been or­dered to pay more than $1.6 mil­lion in com­pen­sa­tion to for­mer Equal Op­por­tu­ni­ty Com­mis­sion (EOC) chief ex­ec­u­tive De­van­ty Maraj-Ramdeen for fail­ing to give her a prop­er op­por­tu­ni­ty to earn a re­new­al of her con­tract.

In Oc­to­ber 2022, High Court Judge Joan Charles par­tial­ly up­held Maraj-Ramdeen’s case over not re­ceiv­ing a re­new­al when her three-year con­tract came to an end in 2021.
