[www.inewsguyana.com] - Chairman of the Governance and Security Committee of the Private Sector Commission (PSC) Captain Gerald Gouveia is now questioning the Combined Opposition’s friendliness to the Private Sector after A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) in conjunction with the Alliance for Change (AFC) voted against a petition by the Private Sector Commission (PSC) in the National Assembly on Thursday, November 7.
The PSC had decided to petition the National Assembly to pass the Amendments to the Anti – Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) Amendment Bill as they are fearful of the repercussions facing Guyana if the amendments are not made into law.
Gouveia who is currently abroad said he was made aware of the news this morning and expressed grave disappointment that both the petition and the AML/CFT bill was voted down by a majority opposition vote.
He told iNews, “I really don’t know what the opposition’s strategy and objective is, we have talked at length of the damages not passing the bill will have on the economy, businesses and jobs” he said, adding that “they are not meeting with the private sector, I’m simply shocked, this sounds very anti – Private Sector and scornful.”
Gouveia said the Private sector Commission submitted the petition in good faith and it is simply disappointing the stance the opposition took.
