The grumblers never acknowledge that Jagdeo’s cabinet-which roughly mirrors Guyana’s diverse ethnic makeup-is 30% Afro-Guyanese. Although Jagdeo has committed to a vague “enhanced framework for inter-party cooperation,” he has never answered PNC leader Robert Corbin’s call for “shared and inclusive” governance. With an absolute majority in the National Assembly, the PPP has no reason to share its victory spoils.

Personal opinion, the PNC cannot expect to bully their way into shared governance. Though I do support participatory Govt, I don't support the PNC's way and means to achieving that. The PPP could have taken the high road to accomplish this from their positon of strength. If they do miraculously pull out a win, they will now be pushed into it as they will not enjoy an absolute majority.

It runs contrary to what Ramjattan and his colleagues told the court. That is only Indo Guyanese are holding top positions in Government and Government agencies

Confirmed by Lunchman! And that there no Afros in Non-Indos is decision making positions. In Guyana's democary only one person, Jagdeo, makes the final decisions.
