Georgetown : A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) extends sincere condolences to the family of three year old Shamaine Cort, 19 year old  Tabithia LaToya Bagot and Malkie Juanita Bagot 16 years old who lost their lives last evening when a reportedly drunken driver, 18 year old Nakesh Persaud went on a hit and run rampage on the Corentyne Highway.

APNU also empathize with the family of Delroy Park and Mathew McBean who suffered serious injuries and are listed in critical condition. McBean and Park were injured in two separate incidents during Persaud’s reckless rampage on the Corentyne highway. The Partnership wishes them a speedy and full recovery.

APNU has repeatedly called attention to the public health and public safety crisis that driving under the influence of alcohol poses to the citizens of Guyana.

APNU iterates the National Assembly’s resolution Number 18 of 2012 passed on July 30th 2012 expressing no confidence in Minister of Home Affairs Mr. Clement Rohee.

APNU calls on President Donald Ramotar to revoke the appointment of Clement Rohee as Minister of Home Affairs and appoint someone who is capable of ensuring human safety.

APNU calls on the Guyana Police Force to stop chasing touts in Georgetown and instead go after the drunken drivers who are killing people on our roads.
