NCN taken to task for erroneous Winston Murray report

Feb 20, 2009 News

People’s National Congress Reform member, Winston Murray, yesterday dismissed reports that he is resigning from his party, as was reported by the state-owned National Communication Network on Wednesday evening.
Yesterday Murray told the media that NCN is very callous, and should have contacted him before broadcasting such a news item.
He said he knows nothing about the resignation that was referred to in the article and the suggestion that was made that his is part of a campaign to have Richard Van-West Charles elected as leader of the party.
Murray dismissed all suggestions that he is completely resigning from the PNCR.
On January 17 last, Murray resigned as Chairman of the party following disagreements over his position on the Economic Partnership Agreement between Europe and CARIFORUM.
However, he remains a member of the PNCR and has continued to sit as a Member of Parliament for the party.
Murray has been participating in the 2009 Budget debates, even though he did not open the debates as was anticipated. He continues to hold the position of Shadow Finance Minister, a post he has been holding ever since his party formed the Opposition.
Murray said that his resignation as Party Chairman is a direct result of his principled objection to the issuance of a statement in the name of the PNCR, which essentially amounted to an abandonment of the position that he had publicly represented at the consultations held by President  Bharrat Jagdeo last September on the then proposed EPA.
He had essentially supported President Jagdeo’s position that the EPA was a bad deal for Guyana.
