The Alliance For Change (AFC) on Monday condemned the government’s dismissal of the EPA Head, Dr Vincent Adams.

“The Alliance For Change strongly condemns the unlawful dismissal of Dr. Vincent Adams as Director of the Environmental Protection Agency.  Dr. Adams is, without question, the most qualified Environmental Engi-neer and Petroleum Engineer in the country, who returned after an outstanding career of fine service in the United States to serve the people of Guyana”, a statement from the party said.

It added that there can be no legitimate explanation for Dr. Adams’ dismissal as, despite his political views, he served “objectively and with distinction”.  Dr Adams is a member of the AFC.  The AFC, a key member of the former governing coalition said that the words of President Irfaan Ali, that Dr Adams would be offered a position for which he is eminently qualified “have proven hollow and false”.

It said that if this is the leadership that Guyana has to offer, then the nation will undoubtedly suffer.

“There is a distinct absence of dignity and decorum and in its place  unbridled crassness, pettiness, vindictiveness and small-mindedness which has become the  principal characteristic of the Ali regime…”, the AFC declared.
