Leader of the Forward Guyana Movement (FGM) and the party’s lone Member of Parliament, Amanza Walton, is calling for the immediate recall of Guyana’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and Permanent Representative to the European Union and the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), Sasenarine Singh, saying he has repeatedly used the authority of his diplomatic office to intervene in domestic partisan politics.

In a letter published by Village Voice News, Walton said Singh had once again “abandoned the office he holds” by entering a political dispute over criticism of the government’s handling of damage caused by the recent squall in Region Two.

She maintained that the issue was not whether the government’s response was fairly criticised, but that an ambassador should not participate in domestic political debates.
