PRESS STATEMENT
Office of the President
APNU/AFC PARLIAMENTARY ALLIANCE AND ITS RECKLESS PARLIAMENTARY AGENDA
The National Assembly of Guyana in its third sitting in 2012 has again made a decision that violated the Constitution, the laws of Guyana and a commitment made by the Parliamentary Political Parties during the tripartite talks to work together in the interest of Guyana.
Minister of Finance Dr. Ashni Singh had tabled on February 10, 2012, Financial Papers No. 7 & 8 for the consideration of the House. The Financial Papers disclosed expenditure made through supplementary provisions by the Administration in Fiscal year 2011 in accordance with existing law. The law provided for the Minister, at the earliest opportunity subsequently, to present for the consideration of the House the expenditure so incurred.
The initial reactions of the APNU/AFC Parliamentary alliance to the February 10 tabling were uncompromisingly hostile with threats ranging from outright rejection to censure, among others. The alliance continued its rhetoric about unlawful expenditure.
The alliance in examining the Financial Papers 7 & 8, selectively withheld its authorization of various expenditure items. The principle that the expenditure made by the Minister and outlined in the Financial Papers 7 & 8 was in conformity with the existing law was repeatedly rejected by the APNU/AFC Parliamentary alliance.
In that context, at the Committee of Supply, the alliance rejected expenditure related to
Office of the President procurement of security surveillance goods and services, expenditure on National Events and Ceremonies, specifically the national awards and the inauguration of President Ramotar.
Also rejected at that level was the expenditure for overtime paid to public officers at General Registrarâs Office earned during the Claims and Objections periods leading up to the 2011 General and Regional elections
Most bewildering was the APNU/AFC comprehensive rejection of expenditure associated with the Specialty Hospital construction and site preparation.
Looking ahead, the APNU/AFC alliance seems intent on cherrypicking and rejecting selective items of expenditure.
It is anticipated that they will use their voting strength to authorise the expenditure for only those items favourably considered at the level of the Committee of Supply thus rejecting recklessly all the other items of expenditure.
Once again the APNU/AFC Parliamentary alliance has signaled its intention to continue on the course of confrontation using their combined vote in the National Assembly for partisan political interests. Regrettably, the APNU/AFC combined vote in Parliament has now been used on three (3) consecutive occasions in two sittings to undermine constitutionality and to disregard parliamentary norms and traditions.
The very first time, and unparallel in the history of the legislature in Guyana, the APNU/AFC collaborated to have both the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker to belong on the same side of the House.
On the second occasion, the APNU/AFC combined vote was used to establish a composition of the Committee of Selection that ignored the constitutional principle of proportionality among the parties therein represented.
In this the latest and the third time, the APNU/AFC alliance rejected authorizing lawful expenditure by the Administration that was outlined in Financial Papers 7 & 8.
These three consecutive acts have conjured the spectacle of the Parliamentary opposition parties collaborating on frustrating the implementation of the PPP/C Executive Parliamentary program.

A snap election is the best solution

I WOULD like to encourage the PPP to call a snap election which would be best for the country and the people of Guyana. I personally do not see anything moving forward, and if we continue along the same path with the opposition continuing to say they are for the people and the country, this would be as far as we could get.They are lying to themselves and the entire nation. When elections were held and the results came out, I told myself that this was a good thing; it gives each party a voice in Parliament for the benefit of the people. We continue to read in the papers each passing day: that the opposition is NOT looking to ensure the people and the country benefit from positive changes. They are out there only to bring the Government down. They all know in their hearts that there are certain things they must agree on for the benefit of the people and country. But they even refuse to agree to these things.
They need to remember, the PPP, APNU and AFC are not the Government; the people are and we cannot just sit and wait for them to debate and play games like kids.
A snap election should be called and let ONE party have the majority and move this country ahead. If we continue like this, we will NEVER move for the next five (5) years.
APNU,the AFC and the PPP at the end of the day â have nothing to worry about, they all still enjoy all the benefits that come with being in parliament. We the people are losing, not them â CALL a SNAP election and I am absolutely sure, one party will win this time and we all know who that party will be

This is a rejection of progress by the combined opposition.
What kind of progress did the opposition make since the last election.
being elected to office and sitting on commisions and boards are not progress.

It is the coolie crab dwag mentality at its best from the opposition. "I did not win so I will suffocate you."
What they do not realise is that they are opening the eyes of the people of Guyana whom are seeing them for their true colors. Keep it up 'jattan and cohorts.

Not everybody is a thief like you. It is the first time in Guyanese politics that the opposition cannot be bought with bribes, so you gonna have to put up with being asked where the money is going exactly.
