Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, Anil Nandlall,Dennis Rasmussen Jersey, as well as Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon yesterday at different forums, said that the deadline for the enactment of the amendments to the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism legislation is August 28.With Parliament scheduled to go into statutory recess on August 10 and the next scheduled meeting of the Special Select Committee on July 3, Basil Williams of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU),Brian Sutter Jersey, says the opposition is unaware of any August deadline.Williams yesterday told this publication that the only deadline that the Opposition has gleaned from previous pronouncements is that of November.He said that the APNU had requested an official record of the recent plenary session in Nicaragua,Chris Chelios Jersey, where the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) had granted Guyana an extension to have the amendments enacted.Williams said that this has not been provided to APNU but in the meantime the coalition at the level of the Special Select Committee will bear in mind the November deadline,Shayne Corson Jersey, as had been indicated by the Attorney General.Head of the Presidential Secretariat, Dr Roger Luncheon, yesterday accused the political opposition at the level of the Special Select Committee tasked with addressing the amendments of ‘deliberate sloth.”Asked about the opposition’s request for more time to have stakeholders present submissions to the Committee, hence the deferral of the next meeting to June 3,Colton Parayko Jersey, Dr Luncheon,Martin Brodeur Jersey, said that in principle the request has merit.He said that the considered position of Cabinet in accusing the opposition of ‘deliberate sloth’ can also be gleaned from the opposition’s stance that at the level of the Committee,Stan Mikita Jersey, it will not be meeting before 16:00hrs or later than 18:00hrs nor will it entertain more than one applicant making submissions on any of the given days.This stance by the opposition at the level of the committee, according to Dr Luncheon, “certainly does not convey urgency.”He said that the behaviour must be highlighted and be characterized “deliberate sloth.”Dr Luncheon posited that the avoidance of a near calamity in Managua,Ales Hemsky Jersey, Nicaragua recently, where Guyana was almost blacklisted as a non cooperating country, has seemingly wetted the appetite of the opposition for “the real thing come November.”According to Dr Luncheon, CFATF has made the reality of the November deadline clearer, by conforming on the Select Committee to have the amendments enacted by August 28.This,Marian Hossa Jersey, he said, would allow for the proper considerations of the amendments come November.“Deliberate sloth invites a repetition of the calamity that was barely avoided recently.”
