Ministry of the Presidency denounces Stabroek News editorial as ‘odious and malicious’

The Ministry of the Presidency (MoTP) yesterday expressed astonishment at the Stabroek News’ editorial of July 26th, 2019 – titled ‘Temporising’ – which it said made “numerous odious and malicious assertions.”

A statement from MoTP said that the editorial sought also to “insinuate insincerity and impugn the character of the President and his office in relation to the matters arising out of the passage of the no-confidence motion” against government. 

MoTP said that the Stabroek News’ editorial misinterpreted the meaning of the ruling and ‘Consequential Orders’ of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) and ignored the process surrounding the appointment of the Chair of the Elections Commission (GECOM).
