Former Central Bank Governor, Jwala Rambaran hits back at the government that fired him. For the first time since his dismissal last year, Mr. Rambaran voices his concerns about the handling of the economy.

Addressing the Society of Surgeons of Trinidad and Tobago’s Annual General Meeting, yesterday, Mr. Rambaran described Finance Minister Colm Imbert as an on the job trainee.

Mr. Ramabaran said he was illegally removed but the foreign exchange problem still exists. He questioned why his successor has not been made to answer. Mr. Rambaran said the economy is in a financial coma with a weak heartbeat and shallow breathing.

The government removed Mr. Rambaran after a series of incidents, including his declaration of a recession and the release of a list of companies and their foreign exchange usage.
