THE People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) has “strongly condemned” the recent facebook ranting by People’s Progressive Party (PPP) Member of Parliament Nigel Dharamlall and has called for him to be sanctioned. “This highly unusual, unprofessional and unbecoming behaviour by a sitting member of the National Assembly of the Co-operative Republic of Guyana must be condemned by all members of the legislative branch of government, regardless of political affiliation,” the PNCR said in a statement on Friday.
The PNCR notes that this is not the first time that Dharamlall has engaged in unsavoury behaviour unbecoming of his high office as a member of the National Assembly. “The PNCR calls attention to the fact that earlier this year, a complaint was made against Dharamlall over alleged threatening behaviour towards an employee of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) office in Guyana. This complaint was withdrawn only after a request was made by the complainant to the Director of Public Prosecutions that no further action be taken.
“The conduct of all members of the National Assembly must be above reproach and they are expected to conduct themselves in respectful manner at all times. Dharamlall’s has embarrassed his party (the PPP) and the entire National Assembly and should be sanctioned.”
