Prevail.....as in declaring the NC motion void?

Shumam saying he will do it is one thing...actually doing it is another...

... if the government win the 34/32  (you mentioned 33/34), they will hold on to power for dear life...until its constitutionally due in 2020....

However, this will open a can of worms...the 1/3 who hold dual citizenship should be disqualified also...

...If Guyanese take to the streets in protest, the army will be called out to maintain law and order...

If and when he gives up his canadian citizenship he should publish the documents for all to see.  He lives in Canada for the past 34 years. Does not work or pay taxes in Guyana. His white wife and three very young children were born and all live in Canada.

Let's wait and see what happens.

https://www.stabroeknews.com/2...tice-party-to-polls/

Shuman, who has held Canadian citizenship for 28 years, was asked how soon he will be relinquishing his Canadian citizenship.

“I really don’t know the process. I have to obviously sit down and have a discussion with the Canadian High Commission and obviously with the Government of Canada,” he said before admitting that it is not a very easy thing to do and it is “a really big issue for a lot of people, friends and family because they think that it is a bit foolish.”


 

Is it norm for not getting the facts correct, before presenting such ???

It’s bull crap.  You don’t just up and renounce your citizenship and walk away after so long.  It’s a longer legal process with lots of legal implications.   It will certainly take longer than election date in March.  

Him just saying it don’t make it so.  Shuman just making Ayuh head spin.

What's so difficult with this process?

To be eligible to renounce your Canadian citizenship, you must:

  • be a Canadian citizen;
  • prove that you are or that you will become a citizen of a country other than Canada if your application to renounce is approved;
  • not live in Canada;
  • be at least 18 years old;
  • not be a threat to Canada’s security or part of a pattern of criminal activity; and
  • understand the significance of renouncing your Canadian citizenship.

The Election Commission should step up and applied the law, when the List of Candidates are presented.

He will have to renounce his Canadian citizenship before he files his List of Candidates.  It is not a long process in can happen in 1 day.

The trouble though Django is that even Patterson said last week that he doctor said he can return to work but folks from the government told him to take more time off to get better.

When I worked in Guyana back in the 80s, I heard a co-worker seeking to get something done did not accept the explanation that the person to do it was not available. She said, "what if he dies, someone else will still have to do it". The crooked PNC clutching at another straw send the man into hiding so they can remain illegally in office.

Trust me. I have given up on being irrational or emotional. The actions of the PNC makes it very easy to dislike them. What the f uck is so hard for them to do the right thing? Are they so scared of the voters right now? Or is it worse. They feel that they don't require the consent of the voters to remain in power. The previous PNC didn't think the voters consent was required.

What I know of the PNC, they don't care about process. Their current actions is making it very easy for me to remain convinced of that. Yesterday, you assured me that Ally and Teixeira will be meeting with GECOM to work out the details of the elections due no later than March 19, 2019. Today we read that GECOM is refusing to meet with them and is instructing them to instead write to old man Patterson. The trouble is that old man Patterson has no time to talk to them right now. He is too busy arguing with the angel Michael because Michael told him that after he dies, he is going straight to hell.

Granger was looking for a Judge, also he claims it's Constitutional. The Judicial branch of government agreed,HIS ACTIONS WAS CONSTITUTIONAL.

There is disagreement the GECOM chairman to be a judge, any other persons with such qualities fits.

That is all fine now. He, however, picked someone who was clearly not fit and now that he seems to be in collusion with the PNC to stymy the elections, is also not proper.

Now these fools talking about the consent of the voters in 2015. The same fools who were on the band wagon in 2014 to limit the 5 years term of Ramotar's government. And since when did the PNC ever preserved the 5 years rule? The 1980 elections came 7 years after the 1973 one and the 1992 came 7 years after the 1985 one. The 1985 was held on time because of the death of Burnham. Is it always necessary for the death of a PNC leader for elections to preserve the 5 years rule?

Making up shit about Charrandas is just clutching at more straws.

I notice that while the PNC vociferously objected to Charrandas being ineligible to be an MP because of his dual citizenship, has not come forward with any process to purge their side of Parliament of any other dual citizenship MPs. It looks like they are not yet ready to change the lawlessness. The PNC likes to talk about leadership by example. What is holding them back from purging their house?

What I do not understand, is the citizens of Guyana meking all this hoopla about dual citizenship. Or just the politicians.

Considerations muss be considered, it was always the Guyanese abroad who gave back to the country, in remittances and other forms of gifts to their friends and relatives back home.

The politicians total 65 miserable PRICKS, I am sure doan give the citizens nothing but miseries. String dem skonts up at the Parade Grounds.

And why the fck, the so called leader bring dem skonts to Canada, USA and Britain. Asking for Dual Citizens to help. Also, seek our participation in free and fair elections in Guyana. What the Fck.

And these same 65 pricks, offer prestige positions to their friends nd relatives in government jobs as consultants who possess citizenship of another country.

If honesty prevailed in Guyana, it would be revealed, every educated person has a document that allows free access to a foreign country.

Ignorance abundance. A struggling Guyana, weeds out the only people who could help them. PNC logic, punish the ppl.

If Mrs. J refers to Mrs. Janet Jagan; reference to similarity is incorrect.

While Mrs. Janet Jagan was a born US citizen, the US_of_A government  directly deprived her of her US citizenship in the early 1940's.

That means --- she is absolutely not longer a US citizen and had to obtain the necessary permits; just like other foreigners; should she want to visit the US-of_A.

MPs with dual citizenship spotlight constitutional breach

February 5, 2015

Some current Members of Parliament (MPs) from both government and opposition hold citizenship in Guyana and other countries—a continuing breach of the Constitution that is acknowledged but has still not been corrected.

Article 155 of the Constitution states, “no person shall be qualified for election as a member of the National Assembly who – (a) is, by virtue of his own act, under any acknowledgement of allegiances, obedience or adherence to a foreign power or state.”

Further, Article 156 (1) of the Constitution states that a person shall vacate his seat in the National Assembly if he ceases to be a citizen of Guyana.

Before Nomination Day last year, commentator and newspaper columnist Christopher Ram wrote to the Chief Elections Officer Gocool Boodoo to highlight the issue and referred the Guyana Elections Commission (Gecom) to articles 53 and 155.

“I am assuming that the Leader of each Party’s List of candidates for the national elections as well as you in your capacity as Chief Elections Officer are not unaware of the clear import and intent of these provisions and in particular Article 155 (1). It is my view that there is a serious obligation on your part to verify that the eligibility requirements are satisfied. You should be aware too that while there might have been breaches in the past, this cannot justify a continuation of an unconstitutional violation in such an important matter,” Ram also stated.

Ram told Stabroek News that this was more than an academic matter, while explaining that the constitutional provisions are intended to ensure that legislators are loyal to Guyana and Guyana alone.

“A similar situation arose in Jamaica recently where politician Mr Daryl Vaz gave up his naturalized US citizenship in order to continue in Jamaican politics. That those who seek to make laws for the citizens of any country must be willing to submit themselves to those very laws at all times is almost superfluous to state,” he said.

Ram added that the “permissiveness” that characterised previous parliaments “has led us into the present state of non-governance and lawlessness.” He said that it is time “to start holding our next batch of parliamentary representatives to account begins now.”

According to a source in government, the issue is a concern to both government and opposition MPs as it would appear that the provisions of the Constitution have been breached by each of the three parties in the National Assembly. Additionally, commentators have said that from their attendance at the sittings of the Constitutional Reform Commission, between 1998 and 2000, the feeling was that persons with dual citizenship would not be fully committed to Guyana and may up and leave when the going gets tough. There was also the feeling that those with dual citizenship cannot serve two masters.

Contacted for a comment, Presidential Adviser Gail Teixeira told this newspaper to carry out proper research and pointed to a number of articles in the Constitution which speak to the issue.

AFC Chairman Khemraj Ramjattan on Thursday weighed in on the issue in his personal capacity, acknowledging that those who hold seats in Parliament and have foreign passports are in breach of the Constitution, but saying that he believed that the law should be amended to accommodate them.

He said that because of the skills that many of these persons may have, it could be argued that they should be allowed to serve the country of their birth. Additionally, it could also be argued that they should not be made to walk away from the benefits that they would be entitled to, having lived and worked in their adopted country.

“There is a challenge for the AFC. We have to be frank and say that those who have foreign citizenship [and sit in Parliament] are breaching the Constitution,” Ramjattan noted. “I think that they should be allowed to participate,” he said. “They love this country. They had to leave it because of problems with governance. This should not disallow them from participating,” he added, while pointing out the work and contributions of MPs such as Dr Leslie Ramsammy, Teixeira and Dr Rupert Roopnaraine, all of whom are believed to hold dual citizenship. Ramsammy and Teixeira are both longstanding MPs for the party in government, the PPP/C. The late MP and Minister Satyadeow Sawh was a Canadian citizen.

Ramjattan is of the view that to hinder those persons from playing a role in the country’s development would not only be a disservice to them but also to the country.

“When we formed our party we had support from the Diaspora. I don’t like the idea of asking the Diaspora for their money and not allowing them to participate,” he said. The AFC had among its campaign promises for the recent general elections the setting aside of a seat in the National Assembly for a representative from the Diaspora.

Ramjattan explained that in the globalised world, the concept of sovereignty is becoming more diluted. He feels that because of the movement of people, the Constitution should be accommodating. “To ask them to denounce their allegiance would mean that their benefits [from overseas] will be taken away. It is not practical,” he said. Ramjattan also pointed out that the AFC has people in its ranks who said they would rather not be parliamentarians because of the constitutional provisions.

Leader of the Opposition and of A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) David Granger said the coalition has not met to discuss the issue but this will be happening in the not too distant future. Speaking on his own behalf on Thursday evening, Granger said it was quite clear that there are large numbers of people living outside  Guyana and this has been the case for several decades. “From the time that law was written, the situation has changed,” he said. “The Diaspora is so large and important [to Guyana]. We should not continue to have such a dichotomy situation,” he said, noting that there are almost a corresponding number of people of Guyanese birth living outside the country as those living in it. He said too that migration is a common phenomenon.

“I am not saying here that the law must be changed. I am saying that we should hear what the people need and establish the laws they want,” Granger added.

Asked about the argument made that persons with foreign nationalities will not be loyal to Guyana, he said that when persons migrated from Guyana, they did so because of economic reasons, not because they were disloyal or because of their ideology. He further pointed out that persons from the Diaspora have come back and given of their skills and time in the interest of developing Guyana.

The only reason this dual citizenship is an issue is because the crooked PNC lost a NC motion. Laughable yet is while they are desperately seeking to nullify his vote they are staunch in their position that the other dual citizens who voted are eligible. 

ahmmm, where exactly in their legal papers do you find that?

i have the full set of pleadings in front of me

Just a HUGE if ... IF ...

-- the votes on December 21, 2018 were ...

-- 33 for the PNCR/APNU/AFC; and

-- 32 for the PPPC

most likely, there would have been tremendous laughter and happiness that the result was in favour of the PNCR/APNU/AFC.

Just like how they were yucking it up before the vote.

Interesting article from this source ...

Entorno Inteligente by Herman Porras Molina

============================

Shuman must account for stewardship

2 días ago, January 13, 2019, Entorno Inteligente, Herman Porras, Molina, https://www.entornointeligente...unt-for-stewardship/

Entornointeligente.com / Former Toshao of St Cuthbert’s Mission, Luke Simon ÃĒ€” former toshao Luke Simon says SAYING that he has nothing against Lenox Shuman, a former Toshao of St Cuthbert’s Mission, Luke Simon said the presidential aspirant must first account for his stewardship in that Amerindian reservation and lamented his decision to break up a $5M eco lodge his administration had built.

Shuman will be launching his partyÃĒ€”Liberal and Justice PartyÃĒ€” on Saturday at an event billed for the Georgetown Club. He had said via the Stabroek News that some of the party’s primary objectives include constitutional reform, particularly to diminish the powers of the office of the president and to move the governance structure from a proportional representation model to a constituency-based democracy at the national level. “Give the power to the people”, and “define governance versus power-sharing formula to provide a better governance structure,” he said.

Other constitutional reforms proposal he advanced include provisions for allowing post electoral coalitions, developing and implementing a strong environmental policy that will be enforceable, and developing an economic model that will not be solely dependent on oil revenues. The new party proposes, Shuman said, that oil revenues be used to provide “free” education to all citizens.

Already numerous allegations have resurfaced about Shuman’s tenure in office as the toshao of St Cuthbert’s Mission. He has denied all of them. However, Simon said when he demitted office, Shuman took over from him and he handed over a lot of items. “I was a bit surprised to see how he used up the things that I handed overâ€Ķtake for instance, one of the most important projects that I was involved in was an ecotourism lodge, which (Shuman) brought downâ€Ķ” Simon said he is very concerned about this mostly because the project would have brought in vast revenues to St. Cuthbert’s Mission. “It was a bit odd to see how they dismantled the building and actually, I don’t know, sold the rest of the investments because for that purpose we had bought hammocks, and we had bought gas stoves and cylinders and even bought a speedboat.”

” I’m not bad-talking him, but I’m worried about what happened to that eco-lodge, because it would have brought in revenues to St. Cuthbert’s Mission and it would have enabled the village council [to become] involved in other projects and it would have meant more income for them and we wouldn’t have to be asking for money here and there. Even that, other arms like the youth group and farmers and so, would have produced and support the eco lodge as well, even poultry farmers. I thought it out carefully when I undertook such a project and more so, it was a funded project by UNDP in collaboration with IDB. So that’s what I’m worried about,” Simon said.

Also persons are questioning whether Shuman is a citizen of Canada. Shuman is reported to have left Guyana in 1990 for Canada where he attended Confederation College of Applied Arts and Technology, graduating with a Business Diploma and a Canadian Commercial Pilot’s License in 1999. Over the years, he has periodically returned to contribute to the St. Cuthbert’s Mission community, located off the Soesdyke-Linden Highway as, according to him, the chief hood can be traced back to his great, great, grandfather. He is also married to a Canadian, but became a re-migrant some years now. Prior to forming the party, he served as toshao of St Cuthbert’s Mission and vice-chairman of the National Toshaos Council (NTC).

Since he announced his running as leader for the LJP, numerous complaints have re-surfaced from residents of St Cuthbert’s Mission and others who had encounters with the former village leader. A visit by this newspaper to St Cuthbert’s Mission in December heard complaints about missing council items that were once in Shuman’s possession, coming from the current toshao; there were also reports of bad relations with members of the village. Residents say that Shuman had ejected a peaceful group of Brazilian Christian worshippers after they began hosting services in the village, while he attempted to kick out a family of East Indian mix out of the village.

Others are still awaiting the final word on an investigation launched into Shuman and his alleged molestation of a minor in the community. Meanwhile, other complaints against him still remain unanswered. These include those from persons such as Priest-in-Charge of the St. Cuthbert’s Mission Anglican Church, Bernard Amsterdam and his restriction of service to the village. Recounting a letter of complaint he wrote to the Indigenous Peoples’ Affairs Minister, Sydney Allicock, which didn’t sit well with Shuman and angered him while they were at the village’s Nomination Day, Priest Amsterdam stated: “He then told me in a harsh, uncouth and in a loud tone, ‘GET OUT OF THIS MEETING, LEAVE THE VILLAGE,’ you’re not a member of this community.”

According to the Indian constitution, certain seats are put aside in parliament for groups that no one will vote for such as Anglo Indians (who are hated in both India and Pakistan).  I think Guyana should do the same for groups that are underrepresented such as Amerindians.

The Indian constitution was constructed that way to give very small ethnic/cultural groups a seat at the table.  Given the sheer numbers, these groups would never register on any proportional scale.  I doubt Guyana has that!

If and when he gives up his canadian citizenship he should publish the documents for all to see.  He lives in Canada for the past 34 years. Does not work or pay taxes in Guyana. His white wife and three very young children were born and all live in Canada.

Let's wait and see what happens.

He do not have to do a damn thing. I hope he does not give up his citizenship until there is a ruling in this case and all others in office with similar dual citizen ship. Gail is trying to run for office and no one is asking her to renounce her Canadian citizenship.

His children are Guyanese. He only have to request it. It matters not where they were born.

Where is that written. In every text book it is t he list that is the representation of the party. The party is a name assigned to those making it up. It is not a person with political rights that stand before a plebiscite to be vetoed in. You are straight up a looney toon.

The legality is the formality of practice for over a generation since the inception of this constitution where dual citizens were sworn into office.  The facility and ease with which you leverage the word dunce against others need some self reflection.

While  you nit pick on Gharandass a similar pedantry is not directed to the holder of the minister of Presidency or the minister of Finance who are making no effort to demit office given their party is asking a court to make their office illegal.

Why should he be questioning his sanity when this is counting numbers we are dealing with and the value is less than a hundred and any 5 year old will tell you which is bigger? 

Hughes is counting all the money he will lose in that Houston office if the PNC loses office so he appeals mathematical magic or rather obscene shysterism to as his clutching straw  for them to stay in  office. Only the deluded takes him seriously.
