WPA pillories gov’t on stalled constitution reform

Though the Working People’s Alliance (WPA) – a member of the governing coalition – has expressed dissatisfaction with the APNU+AFC government’s failure to honour its manifesto promise of constitutional reform, President David Granger is insisting that progress is being made. “We fought for the inclusion of Constitutional Reform as a very important and central plank of this (the APNU+AFC) manifesto. We are not satisfied that the government has moved purposefully in terms of dealing with Constitutional Reform,” WPA member Dr David Hinds told a press conference at the party’s Queenstown Headquarters on Monday. He said that the WPA has included constitutional reform in each of its manifestos since 1985.
