Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir has rejected a claim by Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon that he had directed members of the Guyana Police Force (GPF) to bar opposition parliamentarians from entering the grounds of the Arthur Chung Conference Centre on Thursday.
Nadir addressed the situation in the National Assembly yesterday ahead of the presentation of the 2021 national budget.
At the commencement of the sitting, Nadir disclosed that he received a letter from Harmon containing a series of allegations against him, including an accusation that he instructed the police to bar opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) from entering the grounds for the previous day’s sitting.
