Dr Andre Alleyne is calling on the Medical Board to resign for “mishandling” the matter involving Dr Avinash Sawh.
Sawh came under heavy public scrutiny after he was heard slinging racist and derogatory comments at one of his employees over a phone call last November. In the recording, when the employee threatened to have the police intervene, Sawh referred to policemen as “dunce n---ers” and Afro-Trinidadians as “monkeys.”
