Opposition Leader Joseph Harmon has moved to secure the help of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to mediate the current stalemate between the Irfaan Ali government and the main parliamentary opposition APNU+AFC.
Harmon on Thursday wrote CARICOM Chairman and Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago Dr Keith Rowley and cited a recommendation of the CARICOM Elections Observation Report, which he quotes as saying that when a government of Guyana is formed, the CARICOM Secretariat should find some way to mediate the issue between the two main political parties to start the healing process of the country and to start the closing of the ethnic divide.
“I support, this recommendation and against this background, I urge that the CARICOM mechanism, under your leadership, sees the urgent need for decisive action,” Harmon writes in the letter.
