Opposition Camp faces rebel after Parliament fiasco

There are reports of dissent within both APNU and AFC following the parliamentary upheaval that saw a much criticized decision by the Speaker Raphael Trotman to issue an interim gag on the Minister of Home Affairs.

The move instigated by both parties did not find favour amongst all in the leadership of both parties.

 The leadership meeting and parliamentary group discussions there were vehement disagreement expressed over the move to ‘convert the National Assembly into a partisan political platform and an abuse of the opposition one seat majority.’

International observers and groups have also expressed their sentiments in the recent developments and turmoil in the National Assembly and hinting it can lead to a platform of instability and even tension in the wider society.

Those Members of Parliament of APNU and AFC who were in loud disagreement were threatened to be recalled by the heads of the list of representatives as is provided by the Laws of Guyana – Recall Legislation.

APNU head of the list of representatives is David Granger and AFC is Raphael Trotman.

Sources say this is a worrying development that the party is trying to contain and dissolve.
