Norton disagrees with Ogunseye’s ‘language’

Buckling under immense pressure to speak out against the “racist and divisive” statements by Tacuma Ogunseye, an Executive Member of the Working People’s Alliance (WPA), Opposition Leader, Aubrey Norton broke his silence on Thursday and said that the “wrong choice of language” may have been used.

Norton was also critical of the demeaning statements made by another WPA Executive Member, Rhonda Layne against the East Indian community.

According to him, the Opposition is against any speech that “treats any ethnic group with any form of disrespect.”

At that same meeting, Layne referred to East Indians in Guyana as those who came from the “slums” in India.
