The recently concluded PPP 35th annual congress will go down in history for the election of Nigel Dharamlall to the 35-member, central committee of the PPP party, and to its executive council. The election of Nigel Dharamlall is glaring in its insensitivity and demonstrates a contemptuous disregard for the trauma of sexual violence and the physical and deeply psychological scars and suffering of victims/survivors.We remind Guyanese women, citizens, the PPP central committee and its executive arm, of the huge outcry from many sections of the Guyanese public, on the reported rape by Nigel Dharamlall allegedly of a 16yr old Indigenous school girl. We take this opportunity to remind all Guyanese, who reject all forms of sexual and gender-based violence, of issues surrounding this reported rape which have not yet been adequately addressed.The official statement was taken by trained forensic professionalsin the presence of police officers to prevent fabrications or embellishment and whose continuing work has been taken up into successfully prosecuted cases in the courts.
