Records released by Parliament Office yesterday showed that Minister of Tourism, Industry and Commerce Oneidge Walrond was still a dual citizen at time she took the oath of office as a Member of Parliament (MP) on September 1st, prompting a renewed call from the main opposition for her resignation.
The main opposition APNU+AFC had demanded that Parliament Office make public Walrond’s Certificate of Renunciation that confirms she has given up American citizenship after she publicly stated that she had been in compliance with renouncing her US citizenship since August 27th and that she had subsequently received the Certificate of Loss of Nationality.
In response to a letter from APNU+AFC MP Roysdale Forde SC, who had threatened court action if the certification was not made public, Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs yesterday released the documentation that was submitted to him.
