Moments ago, Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon filed two No Confidence Motions with the Clerk of the National Assembly.
The No-Confidence Motions are against Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony and Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn.
“The APNU+AFC Coalition, in filing these 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. 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 spiraling out of control. Dr. Anthony must bear direct responsibility for the health care crisis and disaster he has placed Guyana in, imperiling the lives and health and wellbeing of every citizen. The nation has lost confidence in Dr. Anthony and we formally take action on behalf of the people of Guyana today,” Harmon said.
He added that 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 tacit No-Confidence Motion in Benn having sidelined him in seeking to establish a parallel police force at the regional level. Today we file the formal, official No-Confidence Motion against the failure that is Minister Robeson Benn,” he noted.
