Mayaro MP and Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister, Nicholas Morris, is paying tribute to former councillor and alderman, Ramkissoon Nagassar, who has died.
Minister Morris described Mr. Nagassar as a stalwart of the Mayaro constituency, whose decades of public and community service helped drive development in Rio Claro South.
He recalled Nagassar’s contribution to the United National Congress and the Mayaro Constituency Executive, as well as his service with the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha.
Minister Morris also remembered Mr. Nagassar’s role in the 2013 Local Government Elections, saying he was selected as the UNC’s candidate for the marginal Rio Claro South seat because of his strong connection with the community—and delivered the seat for the party.
He described Mr. Nagassar as a dedicated community leader and builder of the constituency, extending condolences and prayers to his family, loved ones and all those touched by his life.
