APNU, appeal the Rohee decision or shut up

Mar 20, 2013 Letters

 

Dear Editor,
I don’t suffer fools kindly. APNU/PNC has been a complete fool in this Clement Rohee exercise. It passed a motion. The PPP ran to the courts in response. The Chief Justice (acting) rendered a decision that allowed Rohee to speak. The Speaker agreed with the Chief Justice.
Why this weeping, wailing, caterwauling, shedding of crocodile tears and all manner of stupidities when the simplest and only viable recourse was to appeal the Chief Justice’s and Speaker’s decisions, which the PNC/APNU has failed to do? Appeal the darn decision and let the chips fall where they may.
The people of this country have already moved from this fiasco. In any event, anything Rohee says in Parliament is being rubbished and his Bills are now being rejected so the opposition still gets its way.
If Basil Williams has the time to write legal opinions in the letter pages of Kaieteur News then surely he had more than enough time to put those same arguments into an appeal of the CJ’s decision (“Reasons why Brig. David Granger and Khemraj Ramjattan’s motion should be debated in the National Assembly”, KN, March 19, 2013).
There are greater bread and butter issues and a rising stench of overpowering corruption in this country that is seen as more important than this now fading Rohee mess. The PNC/APNU is clearly missing these new eruptions while still focused on an issue that is fading fast.
It is like a dog fighting with a bone while a big juicy steak sits just mere inches away. Until the PNC/APNU does the right thing and allows the courts to do their job, all this posturing and masquerading is just senseless drivel that is flogging a dead horse.
The PNC/APNU’s laziness is evident here. The AFC has accepted the Speaker’s ruling which follows the CJ’s decision and will abide by it. The PNC/APNU disagrees but does nothing. It failed to mount a challenge to the CJ’s or the Speaker’s decision. Imagine this is the political entity wanting to rule Guyana. The PNC/APNU does not seem to know its hand from its foot.
