The Amerindian Peoples Association (APA) has accused Local Government Minister, Nigel Dharamlall of falsely accusing it of alignment with the opposition PNCR.
In a release on Tuesday, the APA stated that it has taken note of Dharamlall’s recent “tirade” on his Facebook page, where, it said, he levelled a series of “misrepresentations” against the APA. This, it added, is a continuation of his previous assault on the organisation.
According to the release, in his social media tirade, the APA was accused of being politically aligned with the Opposition People’s National Congress Reform as well as funding that political party. Further, he stated that the association is seeking to block Indigenous communities from receiving “…billions of dollars in development funds from the Carbon Credit Facility.”
