The Guyana Human Rights Association (GHRA) is not comfortable with the ruling party’s response to the allegations of sexual misconduct against one of its senior members and feels that national standards of professional conduct must be elevated.
In a release yesterday, the GHRA described the attitude of the ruling PPP to the new rape allegation against Nigel Dharamlall as complacent, where one might have expected a “troubled” reaction. This, it opined, shows the extent to which power has eroded principle in that political arena, especially when one notes the response of the PPP General Secretary, and Vice President, Bharrat Jagdeo, “Dharamlall has nothing to step down from…the matter is an allegation.”
