THE relationship between the coalition partners – the Alliance For Change (AFC) and A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) – is not fractured, as is being speculated by some.
This was expressed by AFC Treasurer and executive member Dominic Gaskin, who made it clear that the role of the AFC is not to police the activities of APNU, the larger faction of the coalition government.
Gaskin, who is also Minister of Business and Tourism, was at the time speaking at the AFC’s bi-weekly press conference which was held on Friday at the party’s headquarters in Kitty. “I think we have a good working relationship with our coalition partners,” the party’s executive member said in response to a question about the relationship between the parties appearing fractured.

THE office of Linden Mayor Carwyn Holland was burglarised and vandalised for the third time since he took office in March, the latest episode being last Tuesday evening.The Mayor was at the time in China on official business, but he was notified of the incident by Deputy Mayor Waneka Arrindell, who informed the police about what occurred on Wednesday morning. Arrindell on Monday told media operatives that the police responded promptly to the scene, and investigations are ongoing into the matter. She is positive that police will find the perpetrators.
Though nothing seems to be missing, the entire office was ransacked and vandalised. The perpetrators reportedly stuck a thumb tack through the forehead of the Mayor’s photograph and stuck it to the wall. Deputy Mayor Arrindell said this is not only an attack on the Mayor, but on the entire Council, and security officers need to be questioned to determine how these breakages occurred three times within months.
