APNU and Member of Parliament Tabitha Sarabo-Halley have called on the PNCR to take seriously allegations of sexual harassment made against its leader Aubrey Norton by party member Vanessa Kissoon.
A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) – of which the PNCR is the largest constituent – has written to PNCR General Secretary Dawn Hastings-Williams on the matter.
Efforts again by Stabroek News to contact Norton for a comment on a statement by Kissoon alleging sexual harassment have been futile.
APNU in its June 21 letter to Hasting-Williams expressed concern over the serious nature of the allegations, noting that such issues cannot be ignored, especially given the prominence of the PNCR within their coalition. APNU emphasized the necessity of an independent investigation to maintain accountability and uphold the rule of law, stressing their commitment to ensuring justice and respect for women’s rights in Guyana.
