THE handling of the mysterious death of the USA couple has been a public relations disaster for Government, says Federation Party leader Professor Biman Prasad.

Prof Prasad said the Government’s public utterances on the tragedy created a public perception, especially in the minds of the couple’s families in USA, that Government was devoid of any compassion and humanitarianism.

“Almost two months after the couple’s death, Government finally informed the couple’s families this week that their bodies would be repatriated,” Prof Prasad said.

Health and Medical Services Minister Dr Ifereimi Waqainabete said he would not respond to the NFP leader’s statement.
