Foreign Secretary Carl Greenidge yesterday said that he will announce whether he will relinquish his British citizenship before the launch of the People’s National Congress’s (PNC) first campaign rally, which is set for Saturday.
“I will give you an answer on that in the next 48 hours,” said Greenidge, who was forced to resign as Minister of Foreign Affairs in April as a result of court rulings that confirmed that persons holding dual citizenship are ineligible to serve as Members of Parliament (MP). At the time, the government had announced that Greenidge was among those then government ministers who indicated that they would renounce their foreign citizenship.
Greenidge was asked about the status of the matter at a Ministry of Foreign Affairs press conference yesterday. He also said that he could not say if he will be on the APNU+AFC’s coalition’s list of candidates for the upcoming general elections and when he answers “the question of citizenship, I will answer the question.”
