ST AUGUSTINE MP Khadijah Ameen is categorically denying claims that she has fake immunization cards in her office.
She said, “It is absolutely false and a distraction from the threat that the Government has over thousands of workers to have quasi-safe zones which is really a vaccine mandate.”
The issue arose after social media blogger Rhoda Bharath claimed that there were allegations that at Ameen’s St Augustine constituency office her staff “aren’t actually vaccinated” for Covid-19 but were in receipt of fake vaccination cards.
In a brief interview with AZPNews.com on Tuesday morning, Ameen said the allegations were totally false and she said she was contemplating legal action. She said she was going to issue a full press release on the matter.
At a media briefing last Wednesday, Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said he meet with Assistant Commissioner of Police Wendell Williams to monitor any issue of false vaccination cards falsely showing that people may have had their Covid-19 shots.
Deyalsingh said, “We are instituting further controls and further measures which I would prefer not to discuss in the public domain at this time to do just that. To clamp down even further, more than we have clamped down currently on false vaccination cards.”
Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has stated his intention to make the public service into a quasi-safe zone from Covid-19 where public servants must be vaccinated in order to work.
Dr Rowley said the policy was to come into effect in the middle of this month.
