Dr. Marlan Cole is out as the Director of the Government Analyst Food and Drugs Department (GA-FDD), Ministry of Health. Reports indicate that Dr. Cole has been reassigned and demoted to “work closely with the [GA-FDD] Director to assist with the capacity building of the Department of Standards and Technical Services”, based on the information our publication has seen.
