-unhappy with congress preparations
PNCR General Secretary Dawn Hastings-Williams yesterday resigned with immediate effect over arrangements for the party’s congress this weekend but its leader Aubrey Norton last night said that arrangements will continue as planned.
“Yes, she has resigned, but it will not hamper the plans for Congress. It will continue as planned”, Norton told Stabroek News last night.
Hastings’ shock resignation, the second by a general secretary under Norton, threatens further disarray for the party which was already reeling from sexual harassment allegations made against the leader by longstanding member Vanessa Kissoon.
