Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon yesterday once again dismissed attempts by President Irfaan Ali to blame him for a lack of consultation between government and the main parliamentary opposition, saying the president’s call for him to recognise the legitimacy of the current administration is absurd.
“I offer my considered rejection to this notion. This is an absurd proposition and a continuation of the intransigence of the PPP regime in absolutely refusing to engage in dialogue. I am, as I have been and as is well known, since being appointed Leader of the Opposition prepared to meet with President Ali in the best interest of advancing the cause of the Guya-nese people,” Harmon said in a statement.
His statement came a day after Ali said that he is open for discussion with Leader of the Opposition Joseph Harmon but maintained that the legitimacy of the government must first be recognised.
