Prahlad Sewdien

Prahlad Sewdien is a Surinamese politician and member of the ruling government, currently serving as the Minister of Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries. He has been in the news recently due to allegations of possible corruption related to a major road rehabilitation project in Nickerie, where his department's involvement in awarding contracts has come under scrutiny. Critics have raised concerns about the legality of the procurement process and the financial implications of the project, which has been awarded to a company for a significantly higher amount than a competing bid.
