Ignoring criticism of the lack of information on plans for debt management and handling the COVID-19 pandemic, Finance Minister Dr Ashni Singh yesterday wrapped the 2021 budget debate with a dismissal of Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon, saying an overture towards cooperation was an insult to the intelligence of Guyanese.
Using the 65 minutes allotted to him for clarification on the budget, Singh said the opposition coalition’s statements and actions inside and outside of the House are “starkly in contrast.”
Harmon, in his address to the National Assembly yesterday, signaled the APNU+AFC coalition’s readiness to work with the PPP/C led government for national development.
