Recent statements made by PNCR Chair Minister Volda Lawrence, encouraging practices of nepotism, and for which she has been publicly condemned, have resulted in the further fragmentation of the coalition government, WPA member Desmond Trotman says on behalf of the party.
Trotman, an Executive Member of the Working Peoples Alliance, in a letter published yesterday, outlined the party position on the matter, stating that “unless serious attempts are made to resolve the political discrepancies that have been allowed to grow and manifest themselves in ways that are detrimental”, the fracture would continue to develop.
In Saturday’s letter, Trotman stated that the WPA, a member party of the APNU and the coalition government, “demands a more inspiring leadership from the senior party in the APNU and the Coalition.” “One that is consistent with our Manifesto’s commitments to the Guyanese people. And is reflective of a political leadership that is mindful of winning the 2020 General and Regional Elections,” it added.
