The APNU team provided a comprehensive briefing on developments in the National Assembly and took the opportunity to give their views on a wider range of political developments in Guyana. These included “the vexed issues of bad governance by the administration and the deliberate policy of starving the Constitutional Office of the Leader of the Opposition of the resources needed for the effective discharge of the functional responsibilities of the office.”
