Anthony dubs COVID-19 motion ‘lost opportunity’ for opposition

While saying he expected “substantive discussions,” Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony has called the main opposition’s position in the National Assembly on the recently passed COVID-19 motion as a “lost opportunity”.

Anthony presented his verdict during a COVID-19 update where he also stated his hope that the opposition would be a part of the whole effort.

On Wednesday, the National Assembly passed a motion in Anthony’s name to recognise the seriousness of the pandemic and to pledge to support the needed resources to bring relief to the country. The main opposition, APNU+AFC, did not support the motion.
