Shuman calls on Asha Kissoon to resign from Parliament

Dr Asha Kissoon

Leader of the Liberty and Justice Party (LJP) Lenox Shuman yesterday called on The New Movement (TNM) MP, Dr Asha Kissoon to do the “honourable thing” and resign from the National Assembly to facilitate a representative from ANUG as was agreed in the three-party memorandum.

Shuman who served in the National Assembly for the first part of the term and later resigned, told Stabroek News that it is “dishonourable” for Dr Kissoon to hold on to the seat and also noted that TNM and A New and United Guyana (ANUG)  did not honour the original agreement to the letter.

“…I think the verdict has been unexpected and I think it is very dishonourable..” Shuman said of Dr Kissoon’s action in not vacating her seat after her allotted time had expired.
