President Irfaan Ali has said that he will be asking the National Assembly to pass a unanimous resolution decrying political violence and threats of assassination after a man threatened yesterday to kill him during a live broadcast on the Facebook page of APNU+AFC Member of Parliament Sherod Duncan.
Duncan was broadcasting from the picket line as hundreds of East Coast residents, mainly from Golden Grove and surrounding villages, were blocking the main road and lighting fires. The residents were protesting the killing of Quinton Bacchus, 23, a father of one, by a policeman on June 10 at Haslington New Scheme, East Coast Demerara.
