The Alliance for Change (AFC) today stated that the treatment of former Minister of Finance Winston Jordan who was recently detained by the Special Organised Crime Unit (SOCU) “is vulgar, abusive, unlawful and unconstitutional”.
The Party said in a statement, that the PPP recognised this fact, “when it withdrew false charges against Dr. George Norton, an individual should not be singled out and persecuted while acting on behalf of the collective of the Constitutional body known as the Cabinet.”
Among other issues, the AFC, a member to APNU+AFC Coalition which led the last administration, stated, “At all times, Minister Jordan acted within the strict parameters of the Constitution and Financial Management and Accountability Act (FMAA). No decision was personal or without Cabinet approval.”
