DEAR EDITOR:
I would like to comment briefly on the Attorney General’s constant statement of the Government being prevented from carrying out its constitutional mandate. This statement was made by him on several occasions during the constitutional debate.
I wish to express how disgusted I feel about these remarks, especially since one does not have to be a lawyer to understand what this statement suggests, as the constitution of Guyana has been violated by this Government on many occasions between 2002 and now, simply because the Government had a majority in Parliament.
The violation of the Constitution is by passing legislation in breach of Articles 164 of the Constitution by way of Amendment which is now law.
I wish to be challenged as being wrong on this issue and for this reason I would not at this stage highlight what I have discovered.
This confounded nonsense must stop. I write this letter as a founder member of the Guyana National Council on Public Policy, the GNCCP. Jonas M.F. Coddett
