WPA says has been sidelined by gov’t for last two years

Governing coalition member, the WPA yesterday said it had been sidelined by the APNU+AFC administration over the last two years and the reassigning of its coleader, Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, from the Education Ministry without consultation was just the latest infraction. “The WPA believes that when it looks at the way the relationship unfolded, the WPA was more or less sidelined. There is no question about that…we feel that the end result, any objective examination will force you to come to that conclusion,” executive member, Tacuma Ogunseye told a press conference yesterday during which another member David Hinds also adopted a similar position. Hinds told reporters that the sidelining spans the entire period that government has been in office and that the party takes this issue very seriously.
