PPP will not ‘beg’ gov’t to share power – Jagdeo

 

OPPOSITION Leader Bharrat Jagdeo Wednesday said the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) is not opposed to working along with the APNU+AFC coalition government, but will not “beg” to be part of the government. Mr Jagdeo was at the time responding to a report of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on Democracy, Human Rights, and Governance of Guyana. The agency said that the PPP had “refused the offer to form a government of national unity.”
According to the Opposition Leader, “there has been no formal proposal to the PPP for power- sharing” and his party will not “beg to be part of this government.”
However, Mr Jagdeo said his party and the coalition government can “work together for the people of Guyana,” but that this has to be done on clear principles.
“We’re not anxious or begging to be in any form within the executive,” he stated.
The former President noted that the PPP has made clear areas of concern and has indicated to the government that when it is “done with campaigning” talks can begin.
“They are still in campaign mode…they are busy trying to destroy reputations,” said Jagdeo.
Chairman of the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR), Basil Williams, last week said he believed the opposition party will eventually join the coalition government. He said while the PPP is an opposition party, persons need not be “carried away by what they are doing.”
The PNCR is the largest party in the coalition bloc that unseated the PPP from the seat of government in the general elections of May, 2015.
Williams, who is also Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs, noted that the coalition government remains committed to democracy and is open to talks with the PPP on issues of national importance.
“…we have always been inclusive as a party; the branches of our Palm Tree have always included all the ethnicities and all people of this country.
“We are the ones that always strove to have inclusive governance and we brought those parties to APNU and we were able to bring in the AFC into the realm.
“And we believe that the PPP [are] going to come…they’re going to come and we don’t want them to come kicking and screaming – they must come of their own volition when they see the benefits of inclusiveness,” said the PNCR Chairman.
Minister of State Joseph Harmon had been reported as saying back in June, 2015 that the PPP was invited to thrash out the terms of reference under which both sides would operate, but the PPP claimed that it received a letter from APNU and not from the government.

The PNC claiming to be an inclusive party is just as ridiculous as when the PPP makes such claims.  Both are riddled by corruption, incompetence, cronyism and ethnic exclusion.  They both like the "friends and family" program.  They both are happy to act as the humble servants of the oligarchs.

In fact a big problem that the PPP might have is that the PNC comes" cheaper" than the PPP did, and is just as interested in rendering services to support the needs of these business elites.  BK can talk all about that.

I hope the PPPites here see how fair you are. It would be hard to change their unreasonable perception of you, but they should at least have the decency to acknowledge your statement above in good faith.

Perhaps, the PNC-2015 is of the firm position/views that the party-PNC is paramount and superior to government just like the days of Forbes Burnham from 1964.

Funny how the PNC gang are speaking out of two sides of their mouth now.  A year ago you all were screaming that the PNC is god's gift to mankind.

No they will not.  The fact that I describe the PNC being as racist as I consider the PPP to be is in their eyes racist.

Nothing other then agreeing that Indians are saints and that blacks are lazy criminals who are a  curse in Guyana will be acceptable to them.

You still scream that Jagdeo is a Saint even after WikiLeaks emails revealed that he had very strong ties to criminals and in fact blocked attempts by the USA to apprehend them.

No one is speaking "out of two sides of their mouth." Ralph Ramkarran said the Jagdeo-Ramotar PPP ran the most corrupt government in Guyana's history. APNU+AFC promised change. We accepted their promise in good faith. After 15 months in government, APNU+AFC is doing some things just like the PPP did. We are honest enough to point out the coalition's errors and misdeeds. Since last year I personally stepped down from full support to critical support of APNU+AFC. I never screamed that the coalition is "god's gift to mankind." I don't have the authority to speak for mankind.

Bibi, poor hysterical Bibi.  Is there some hormonal imbalance which has impaired your ability to function normally?

Check my posts.  I was HIGHLY critical of APNU and of the AFC BEFORE the election and IMMEDIATELY after the election.  In fact much of what is happening I forecast.  My attitude towards Burnham is well known.

You on the other hand worship a man who the rest of the world sees as a criminal.  The fact that Bouterse, a convicted drug dealer, enjoys good relations with Jagdeo, says loads.

You cannot offer one iota of criticism for the PPP.  Nothing man made is perfect, and yet you think that the PPP and Jagdeo are.

Yes that simplistic thinking is what I can expect from a PPP supporter. We all know that FreeDUMB House is like Animal Farm and that you are one of the brainwashed sheep.

Anyone who thought he PNC will go and be pristine, alyuh prapa naive.  The PNC boys were waiting to get their hands on that cookie jar, and it was filled with cookies for those PNC crookies.  Do you think they intend to work and retire in a hammock or easing chair outside Buxton?  The PNC want to get rich and when they lose, head to Brooklyn and invest in rental properties

Awww shut da hell up lady! You are being schooled yet again. Most if not all here who backed the Coalition speak out when errors are made by them, it is called morals, something the PPP have yet to learn. Speaking out against a wrong is something you nor the others here who back the PPP ever do, so again shut da hell up lady.
