Former Home Affairs Minister under the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) administration, Ronald Gajraj, died at the Woodlands Hospital today after he was rushed there for medical attention.
He passed away shortly after noon.
Gajraj served as Minister of Home Affairs from January 1999 to May 2005 under the Bharrat Jagdeo administration. He was forced to resign under local and foreign diplomatic pressure, particularly from the Americans due to allegations linking him to the activities of a terror gang known then as the ‘phantom squad’.
He was later appointed Guyana’s High Commissioner to India and Bangladesh. Gajraj subsequently resigned from diplomatic service and returned to Guyana and where he kept a relatively low profile.
