Strip Harmon’s powers, enforce code of conduct for Govt. officials – AFC
The Alliance For Change (AFC) says that too many responsibilities have been placed in the hands of Minister of State, Joseph Harmon. The Party thinks that this is the root of many problems in the coalition government which it is a part of.

At that forum, the politicians also discussed a number of issues of concern to the Party.

Chairman of the Board of Directors for Guyana Power and Light Inc. (GPL), Robert Badal, has confirmed the sacking of Colin Welch, the Chief Executive Officer (acting).
