Following the nomination by PPP/C MPs of Hamley Case, Dunstan Barrow and Clement Sealey for one of the seats on the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) Board, the opposition A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) will be making its own submissions today.
This was disclosed by chairman Aubrey Norton yesterday at a press conference. Originally, APNU+AFC Chief Whip Christopher Jones had said that the opposition would not participate in nominating as it did not think the NRF bill had been legitimately passed. This was position was later rejected by the Alliance For Change (AFC) which said it would participate in the process. Yesterday, Norton said that APNU would also participate.
“In the circumstance, we have got to ensure we have people there to scrutinise what is happening. And in that regard, we have agreed that we will nominate people while at the same to protest and signalling that we intend to challenge it [the NRF Bill] in court.”
