I think the reason APNU/AFC is so adamant regarding this issue is because of jealousy. The woman is getting on the good side of the PPP and that is a big no no to them. I don't care for the PPP but that is no reason to be stupid on this issue, they should leave the dam woman alone. Will they take care of her if she is let go?

Leave her alone?  Wha me go do wid she?  As a lawyer , if she broke the law she should pay the price, whatever that may be in this case.  Why is she insisting she did nothing wrong when the facts clearly indicate otherwise.  It matters not to me if she is minister or a jackass but don't be wrong and strong.

It is now water under the bridge.  You cannot deter her from speaking her mind.

Connivance !!!! Waldron as Lawyer should have refused to swear in until her Citizenship was settled.

But she did and she has taken care of the problem.  Case closed.

She shouldn't speak her mind if it is full of crap.

Anyway, de woman cute. People should leave she alone.

All the PPP have to do is have her resign, then Irfaan reappoint her to the position.

The LAW became open with the NCV in 2018 . When will the line be drawn ?

If she was let go we would have seen complaints " they getting rid of blacks" now she's kept on they complain. It's sheer shit.

The complaints are breaking the LAW.  Well they getting rid of lots of blacks .

The PNC is so vindictive,  they complain about the PPP hiring one of their own and for bonus she is black. You just can’t please the opposition,  I guess their job is to Complain. Man, give the women a break.

The issue is not whether the PPP should or shouldn't hire Walrond, Pasad or Singh.  The issue is that people who hold dual citizenship cannot be members of parliament.  Prior to the NCV there were many people holding dual citizenship and sitting in the house. Charandass Persaud was one of them.  In the legal battles over the NCV the courts ruled decisively that dual citizens cannot be MPs.  This was widely publicized and the politicians and lawyers certainly knew the law on the issue.  Walrond, a lawyer, knew all of this and yet she allowed herself to be sworn in as an MP while still a dual citizen.  So tell me, is she an innocent pawn in a political pissing contest or is she just plain "chupid" and trying to be wrong and strong? Let's see what the court says about this?

She was not a dual citizen when she was sworn in, according to her. She said that the papers were already in long before. She knew the rules. This is all gripe from APNU/AFC, a party without an ounce of scruples.

Have you read the independent news articles on this matter, e.g., the one at the beginning of this thread? Here is what a section of that article claims :"Her certificate of renunciation, which was made public, however, showed that Walrond voluntarily performed the act of expatriation to relinquish her US citizenship on September 4th—after she was already sworn as an MP and minister".  If this is correct, and there is nothing suggesting it is not, then she knowingly violated the rule.   

Can someone jog my memory? During all the hoopla after the NCV, wasn't there talk of some APNU/AFC having duel citizenship while they stayed on almost to the bitter end?

Even if this woman relinguished her citizenship after being sworn in, what the heck is so terribly wrong with that? A lot more wrong occured and is still occuring that's worse than what she is being accused of, nah true?

Agreed.

But it look like Totaram has issued a FATWA on the cute lady and he will not rest until he gets her head...and Irfaan too!

I was about to step outta character an' mention something about getting her head..suddenly my halo started burning.....I stand quiet 😷😁

Most of the coalition members relinquished their citizenship after the fact.

"I have done nothing illegal".   "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Monica Lewinsky".

Bill was right, immoral perhaps but not illegal unless he forced his cigar on/in her.

No, you didn't!  And you didn't have any with that mysterious woman in NY although you were trying to make it look like you did.

It was done under the Coalition. I never commented on it because all Guyanese have a right to live and work in the country of their birth. If migrants have a right to go back and vote and didn't relinquish their citizenship, then anyone can go back and work without having to relinquish theirs.(my opinion)

Mysterious woman in New York?  Brain short circuiting!

I have to be totally nuts to give up an American citizenship for a Guyanese citizenship.
