Prime Minister Sam Hinds accused the opposition parties of instigating the disturbances to destabilise the country and get into power yesterday, in the light of the recent protest in Agricola.
“We condemn the attempts by the opposition to destabilise our country as a method of getting into power. We condemn their selfish, callous disregard for the safety and welfare of our people and their readiness to sacrifice the peace and public order of our country in their attempt to remove the PPP/C from office,” Hinds said in a statement to the National Assembly, moments before the government sought to suspend parliamentary business for a debate of the October 11 protest at Agricola, which saw persons confront the police while the East Bank public road was blocked, leading to the stranding of commuters,
