Looks like baby kong wants to rule forever,no wonder there were no major interest to change the constitution.
At least Jagdeo made some changes to the constitution. After the PNC dictator BUrnham died, HOyte became president. Did he change the constitution? Explain why Granger and Moses have not acted on their promise that one of the first things that they will do is to change the constitution. Think before you post, please.
What real Electoral changes was made ?? Hoyte tenure was short and the focus was made to move the country forward.By the way are there not a bill in Parliament to set up the Constitutional Commission.
You are exposing yourself as defender of the Egoist.
How long was Hoyte president? Do not make me laugh! I guess for you, any port in a storm. Tell me why they have broken their promise. A bill is just window dressing. The point you are missing is that parts of the constitution are really difficult to change unless we have a different political culture in Guyana, which now seems almost impossible.
I am not defending Jagdeo. But, I hate it when untruths are posted as facts.
Every one knows Hoyte tenure as President,as a reminder it was 1985 to 1992,seven years,the PPP ruled from 1992 to 2015,twenty three yrs,the PPP are aware the Constitution gives to much power to the President,an attempt should have been made to change the Constitution,reducing that powers,which needed two thirds MP's votes,if the PNC abstained from voting,we would all agree they do not want changes.
Electoral laws amendments need majority vote,again the PPP made no attempt to make real changes.
The PPP had the time and power to change the Constitution,they could have held a referendum and let the Nation decides,no...they worships the illegal Burnham Constitution that was foisted on a nation.
The PNC have a tendency to rule with authoritarianism,the Constitution which was crafted by them give that power,the PPP know this,sit silently and hoping for compromise when matters of importance arises.
Granger used the powers given by the Constitution,now every one crying foul,there should be compromises,we were doing so and you should.
Blamed the PPP and baby kong,the eogist for the predicament the nation have to endure.
So you expect us to believe that hoyte in his seven years did not have time to even make one small change in the constitution, much less the major ones. Tell me if the major aspects of the constitution can be changed without both major parties agreeing
the constitution defines a process to be followed within the governing spirit and ideals This was reaffirmed by the Chief Justice . Why was this not followed. Why was it that this process worked since 1992, but now is suddenly thrown aside. Why has so many , not just PPP members, criticized the unilateral selection of the Chairman by Granger while you continue to defend it?
At least, the PPP changed some aspects of the constitution something that your hero hoyte did not find the time to do.
and, no. Blame the PNC dictator Burnham for the situation we currently experience. You seem to have a short memory if you cannot remember this basic fact.
