Five member team set up to investigate PNC Kissoon/ Clarke incident

Jul 13, 2014 News

A five member disciplinary team has been set up to investigate the “incident” between APNU Parliamentarian Vanessa Kissoon and People’s National Congress (PNC) General Secretary, Oscar Clarke.
According to reports out of the party, Kissoon, a Member of Parliament representing Region 10, was suspended after she reportedly got into a shouting match with the General Secretary of the PNC in the presence of several other party members and other persons who were at Congress Place recently.
Kaieteur News was told yesterday that the team was elected on Friday. Investigations will commence on Monday. One source told Kaieteur News that it is unclear how long the investigation would last. The source said that party members are hoping that the matter is concluded very swiftly.
It was explained that the matter is being pushed out of proportion, the way it is reported on in the media. It is hoped that once the investigation is completed the truth would be known about what really transpired.
This newspaper was told that the argument erupted after Clarke requested the keys to the PNC Linden office from Kissoon. One source close to the party said that Clarke had been continuously asking Kissoon for the keys, but was being given various excuses by her.
The party had reportedly appointed someone to overlook and maintain its Linden office and as such needed the keys which were in Kissoon’s possession.
The source told Kaieteur News that following Clarke’s request, “all hell broke loose and Kissoon became very disrespectful. She was shouting and carrying on, and it was loud. She was even rushing up to the General Secretary as if she wanted to fight and had to be pulled away by other staff members at the PNC office”. Kissoon was later suspended from the party.
Following the suspension Opposition Leader David Granger was accused of acting outside of his purview. However Granger has maintained that he acted well within his authority as Leader of the PNC as is stated within the party’s constitution.
Granger has said that his decision was supported by the Central Executive Committee of the party.
Kissoon has been alleging that she is being treated “unfairly”.
