Georgetown : APNU today claims since the signing of the Code of Conduct Friday last, violations of the Code are being almost routinely committed by the PPP/C.
APNU says so far, GECOM has not seen it fit to pronounce on these infringements.
First, there was the distribution of leases for land by Robert Persaud and Regional Chairman Ali Baksh, accompanied by officers of Lands and Surveys, to citizens of the Essequibo and Pomeroon on the very afternoon of the signing of the code. This action, on the eve of the elections, is in flagrant violation of Section III, subsections v. and vi. of the Code:
On the night of Saturday 12th November 2011, activists of the PPP/C led by Kwame McCoy were seen defacing posters of A.P.N.U at Durban and Chapel Streets. This action by McCoy and his crew was in direct violation of Section II, subsection v of the Code:
A.P.N.U reiterates its commitment to strictly adhere to the Code of Conduct signed by its Presidential Candidate and registers its disappointment at the deafening silence of GECOM in relation to these violations by the PPP/C.
