Contenders for PNCR leadership say Kissoon’s allegation against Norton must be addressed

Contenders for leadership of the PNCR at the upcoming congress, Amanza Walton-Desir and Roysdale Forde SC  yesterday in separate statements said that Vanessa Kissoon’s allegations against the party’s current leader Aubrey Norton must be addressed with seriousness through a fair and transparent process.

On Wednesday PNCR member Kissoon said on her Facebook page that she had been threatened with rape some years ago while travelling in a vehicle with Norton.

Her allegation threatens to upturn arrangements for the party congress set for the end of the month where Norton is in contention for leadership.
