Opposition Leader Owen Arthur wants Prime Minister Freundel Stuart to call elections.
The sooner the general election is out of the way the better it would be for the two political parties to work on reviving the economy, he said yesterday.
“The best thing that can happen in this circumstance is that we should be allowed to put the election behind us. Let us get this behind us and let all the fundamental decisions that must be made about the country’s future be made in a period of calm and seriousness rather than in a period of electoral frenzy,” Arthur said at a media conference yesterday.
The former Prime Minister was reacting to Standard & Poor’s downgrading of the country’s economy to junk status yesterday. Arthur said the report from the international rating agency must be taken seriously by all.
