The Opposition’s attempt to have a Commission of Inquiry (COI) established to investigate the September 19th, 2020 unrest at the Lusignan Prison during which two inmates lost their lives and several others were injured, was defeated on Thursday after the Government used its majority to vote against the motion.
In her motion, APNU+AFC Shadow Minister of Home Affairs, Geeta Chandan-Edmond called for the administration to fully disclose everything that happened at the Lusignan Prison during the unrest.
She also requested that the public be fully informed of the measures put in place to prevent a possible recurrence and for the government to “accept collective responsibility” for the unrest and the resultant loss of life.
