Campaign financing legislation is actively being pursued and is a high priority for the Alliance for Change (AFC), its Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan says.
“We are actively pursuing that. It is a piece of legislation that I am very much interested in,” Ramjattan said in response to questions posed by this newspaper on the issue at a press conference on Friday.
He pointed out that deceased founding member of the party, Sheila Holder, was very passionate about getting the legislation drafted and implemented and had “done a lot of work on that score.”
Ramjattan assured that Holder’s work and setting the pace for the implementation of campaign financing legislation was not done in vain. “All that work still remains and we support Campaign Financing Legislation, we support it,” he said.
