Government yesterday deferred a motion that sought to have the National Assembly take note of the impact of global food prices on the cost of living in Guyana after the PNCR-1G boycotted the sitting.
But the Alliance for Change (AFC) took umbrage at the deferral, saying that the Government was being accommodating to the PNCR-1G when members of the AFC were prepared to make their contribution to the debate. The PNCR-1G members took part in a street protest over the cost of living yesterday and were not in Parliament.
Minister of Agriculture Robert Persaud, in whose name the motion was put forward, called for the debate on the motion to be deferred until a date when the PNCR-1G was present.
