Suriname’s main opposition National Democratic Party (NDP) is accusing the government of President Chandrikapersad “Chan” Santokhi of seeking to prevent transparency by outlining new measures through which communication should be undertaken.
In a letter sent to Santokhi, the NDP, which is headed by former president Desi Bouterse, said that it found it strange that the director of the Cabinet of the President, Adjay Moensi, has said that no letters should be written and sent directly to the head of state, but rather through the President of the National Assembly.
The NDP said it wanted to remind Santokhi of his public appeal on August 22, this year “not to neglect duties as representatives of the people and to obtain information from the government at all times….
She told Santokhi that when he delivered his annual address on September 29, “he stated that he favoured a transparent working method and he made a clear appeal to everyone to work together in a harmonious atmosphere.
