APNU calls again for Minister Rohee to be fired

Main opposition coalition APNU today again called for the revocation of the appointment of Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee saying that for the eight years he has been in charge of the portfolio, the human safety situation in Guyana has deteriorated. It referred in a statement to the three deaths on the Corentyne on Thursday in a hit-and-run accident allegedly by a driver under the influence of alcohol. Rohee is also the General Secretary of the ruling PPP. The APNU press release follows: ] The deaths of three children from one family in multiple road accidents on the Corentyne Coast last Wednesday shocked the nation. This tragedy should be a warning to the People's Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Administration, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Guyana Police Force that the road traffic situation is out of control. Change is needed. The National Assembly, in a marathon debate on 30 th July 2012, passed a Resolution of "no-confidence' in Mr. Clement Rohee and in his ability to exercise responsibility for human safety as Minister of Home Affairs. The Resolution called on the President Donald Ramotar to revoke Mr. Rohee's appointment. This was not done.
