Sharon Rattan Placed As Permanent Secretary Under Patches After Defeating Harris-led Government In Court.
Sharron Rattan is back out to work after her huge win against the Dr. Timothy Harris-led government in Court on April 10th 2018.
Formerly the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Social Development, et al, Ms Rattan took the THUG (Timothy Harris Unity Government) to court after they attempted to illegally demote her following their victory at the 2015 general elections.
Ms. Rattan took the matter to court based on claims that the demotion was politically motivated and sheer victimization as it was a decision enforced by the Public Service Commission without any consultation.
Accordingly, the court outlined that the government’s move was indeed immoral and as a result, she should be reinstated as a Permanent Secretary.
Miss Rattan now sits as the Permanent Secretary of Post and Urban Development under Hon. Ian ‘Patches’ Liburd.
This is Ms. Rattan’s first day of work after being sent home for the last for two years and eight months.
Many are using Ms Rattan’s bravery and success in the courts as motivation to stand up against the Harris-led government that continually targets, victimizes and mistreats many civil servants.
Commenting briefly on the matter, Deputy Leader of the St. Kitts-Nevis Labour Party Hon. Marcella Liburd at the time said that Ms. Rattan’s victory in court should serve as a driving force for other civil servants to stand up for their rights.
“Stand up for your rights! This government has been trampling on the rights of civil servants and expect victims to do nothing, say nothing or just grumble or endure the victimization.
