of the National Democratic Party (NDP) that was held in the Saramacca District. He claimed that the president keeps blaming others for his own failures instead of accepting the responsibility for his policy.  Noersalim who is a former minister of Home Affairs (BIZA) did not hold back when he accused Santokhi of putting the blame of his own shortcomings on the previous administration. “The misleadings of this administration have caused the people to lose faith in politicians,” said Noersalim who issued a call for national unity and collaboration. “This is not the time to fight against each other. In the past five years we ended up in a situation of ethnic division. Unity in Suriname must start within the political parties,” said Noersalim.
