Harmon lodges motions of no-confidence against Benn, Anthony

Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon on Tuesday lodged with the Clerk of the National Assembly two No Confidence Motions against Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony and Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn.

A statement from Harmon said that the APNU+AFC Coalition, in filing the No Confidence Motions, is “acting on behalf of hundreds of thousands of Guyanese who have lost all confidence in the performance of these two incompetent ministers to perform their duties”.

Harmon said that the management of the spread of COVID-19 has been woeful, there has been questionable procurement of vaccines and confirmed COVID cases and deaths are “spiralling out of control”.

In relation to Benn, Harmon said “Crime in all forms is on an astronomical increase in Guyana. Robberies of various kinds, break and enter, murders, vehicular homicides, violent assaults have enveloped the society. Citizens are living in mortal fear. The PPP has effectively already filed their own … No Confidence Motion in Benn having sidelined him in seeking to establish a parallel police force at the regional level”.
