PM’s Return Delayed By Gastroenteritis, Will Miss First House Meeting As PM
Prime Minister Barrow’s return to the country has been delayed by illness.  He was scheduled to return from New York today after a few days meetings relating to the refinancing of the Superbond. But a press release issued at midday announced that the PM has viral gastroenteritis and is awaiting the results of tests done in New York. The release discloses that he had to be hospitalized overnight last week Thursday with the same illness.  He travelled on Saturday, but the symptoms persisted, and so he visited a doctor in New York. He is now awaiting the results of those tests and will not return until Saturday. 

And, so, what about the house meeting on Friday?  And the signing of the United Nations Convention Against Corruption which is also scheduled for Friday? Â 

Well, the release announces that Deputy “Patrick Faber will continue to act as Prime Minister, and the signing of the UNCAC and the meeting of the House of Representatives will proceedâ€￾ as normal.

It would be the first house meeting that Barrow has missed in his 8 years as Prime Minister.
