Two top members of the government and opposition were yesterday publicly called out by the Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) for allegedly making racist remarks on the campaign trail.
The persons are Joseph Harmon, the Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency and Juan Edghill, a former junior finance minister in the PPP/C government and who is also a former Chairman of the ERC. He remains a top PPP/C official.
Public Relations Officer Remington Eastman, at a press conference hosted by the ERC yesterday morning at Cara Lodge Hotel, Georgetown, said that the commission has been monitoring the various rallies and to some extent the meetings held by the political parties contesting the upcoming March 2 General and Regional Elections.
