City Mayor, Ubraj Narine and Opposition Member of Parliament, Sherod Duncan were today slapped with several charges stemming from comments they made during a standoff over the removal of vendors from outside of the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) on Monday.
Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed that Narine and Duncan were escorted to the Brickdam Police Station this afternoon to be charged on several counts.
The charges include attempting to excite hostility or ill will on the ground of race, using a computer system to attempt to excite ethnic division on the ground of race and obstructing traffic.
