Opposition to petition Caricom on governance issues

By Miranda La Rose

The three parliamentary opposition parties have signed a petition seeking Caricom intervention on a raft of governance issues including the Channel Six suspension and thousands of signatures are to be sought before the submission of the document next month prior to a heads of government confab.

Taking their campaign to a new level, the PNCR-1G, AFC and GAP-ROAR launched the petition – for which they are seeking countrywide support – at a press briefing held at City Hall yesterday. The PNCR also made it clear at the briefing that it will continue with its protests which were started several weeks ago.

Among those present at the launching were PNCR-1G Leader Robert Corbin, AFC Leader Raphael Trotman and GAP Leader Paul Hardy. The three had previously agreed to and signed the joint petition on Wednesday last.
