When APNU/AFC came into office Jagdeo took them to school to tell them ho it is done. Given that these ageing gentlemen are much older than Jagdeo, considerably poorer, they have a need to amass wealth quickly. They are also quite aware that their prospect of victory in 2020 seems increasingly remote (their hassling of their base guarantees that they stay home and the cross over vote, not all being Indians, will also stay away). So this increases the urgency.
In addition apparently they agreed to keep corrupt transaction payments, negotiated before they came to power, that PPP officials agreed. Indeed one of them who fled Guyana almost as soon as the PPP lost has been screaming to get his share of the payments that he is "entitled" to. So he thinks.
PPP=PNC/AFC and so I don't know why people are joining sides when they ought to be demanding that a new constitution should be a priority. This will not only address issues of racial/regional insecurity and reduce the power centralized around the president, and also ensure that no gov't official including the president is above the law. It will also address issues of transparency.
Folks can continue to let the illegal Burnham constitution be the legal basis for how the gov't operates. But then they shouldn't cry when the inevitable happens.
