The opposition has lost its way in relation to local government reform

Aug 12, 2013 Letters

Dear Editor,
Full marks to the PPP/C: it has totally outmanoeuvered an opposition that has lost its way in relation to local government reform, and in the process demonstrated that it does not have even a rudimentary understanding of its political context.
In support of this position I quote without comment a recent paragraph from Stabroek News (APNU confident Ramotar will approve local gov’t bills: SN: 10/8/2013):
“Also speaking at the press conference, APNU MP Winston Felix said that in the situation where the Commission has eight members giving rise to the possibility of gridlock, it now behooves all parties involved to search for decisions based on compromise and consensus.
“For too long we depended on the support of numbers to outweigh the other side. I think though we would have preferred a different formulation of the Local Government Commission, we still feel that we ought to expect the deliberations and search for resolutions through compromise and consensus.”
Henry B. Jeffrey
