The People’s Progressive Party(PPP) sees the hasty recall of PNC/APNU Parliamentarian Richard Allen as a sign of the character of the opposition that we have in this country.
It reveals the ruthless nature of the

PNC/APNU as being vicious, unsympathetic and cruel, according to a statement from the People’s Progressive Party.
Mr. Allen fell ill while attending Parliament a few days ago. The action taken by the PNC/APNU demonstrates that the party, even though operating with a changed name, has actually retained all its negative traits, the PPP says.
“This unsympathetic act is another in a series of actions they have been undertaking to the detriment of our people and nation. At the moment, we see then undermining all the traditions of Parliament to suit their own agenda.  Now they are resisting the consideration of the Budget Estimates from the day after the debate to a much later time. This is merely to facilitate them in mobilising their members in Parliament against the measures in the budget.
“It is hard to anticipate what they would cut, since a wide cross-section of the Guyanese society has pronounced positively on the budget.
“During the debate, the opposition AFC/APNU speakers have not made any serious argument against the budget measures.  The only thing they say is that they will cut the budget, irrespective of the effects it will have on our citizens and their development.
PNC/APNU MP Richard Allen is the latest victim of an opposition obsessed with power.”
And Speaker of the National Assembly, Raphael Trotman, yesterday announced in the House that A Partnership for National Unity’s Richard Allen has resigned from his post as a Member of Parliament in the Assembly effective last Friday, April 5.
Trotman related that Allen’s resignation therefore means that his seat in the National Assembly has become vacant and advised that, that seat is to be filled by a person whose name is to be extracted from the list of candidates from which Allen’s name was originally extracted.
