Region Ten recommits to developing PNCR

Jul 29, 2014 News

…wants gunman to be condemned
The Region Ten delegates to the 18th biennial congress of the People’s National Congress want the police to pursue the gunman who recklessly discharged his firearm in Congress Place.
“He must be held accountable for recklessly endangering the lives of all who were around and for the reckless use of his firearm, even if he is a licensed firearm holder.”
“Region Ten calls on Mr.  Granger and all party members to condemn this wanton disregard for the lives and safety of party comrades and immediate sanctions on this gun-toting menace, who must not be sheltered or protected by friends and contacts in high places.”
At issue was the confusion that surrounded the congress. Sharma Solomon, the head of the Region Ten delegation said that the PNCR like any other political party or mass based organization “has had its share of glitches in previous elections, but never of such magnitude, never with such unresolved grievances and such chaotic outcomes.”
He said that Region Ten is committed to have all outstanding issues over the last two years addressed by putting in place acceptable modalities.
“These include the electoral processes and other pressing internal matters that gave rise to the chaos. These are conditions that Region Ten perceived months ago and was desperately seeking to have addressed internally, with the avoidance of conflict through the party decision making forums and the accreditation committee which unfortunately was never allowed to function effectively to produce credible end results.”
“Congress is over, and we are now faced with the task of moving forward, of mending our rifts, of correcting our weaknesses and building on our strengths to face the national challenges that go over and beyond the challenges we face internally.
“Region Ten remains committed to leading this change and this effort to unify our party to achieve the goals that are necessary for our development and for the development of all other regions and the people of Guyana.
“We are prepared to work to ensure that the democratic structure which our party can proudly boast of is strengthened. As it is, we consider the fact of our members’ willingness to speak out on issues, though not fully attained, a positive for our Party.”
A statement released by the Region Ten delegates noted that the PNCR “though shaken by this recent chaos must grow from these experiences. Region Ten shall continue to set the tone for change, not only in the party but in other parties where members fear to challenge, have no electoral processes and have leaders foisted on them.
“We are proud of the structure put in place by Founder Leader LFS Burnham to ensure maximum participation and involvement of our members. We are proud of the systems that are enshrined in our Constitution for handling of grievances.
“Some have violated these and may be encouraged to continue such violations for whatever reason and purpose, but we must hold them accountable, for this is what we are allowed to do when working in accordance with the constitution and party rules.  Region 10 recommits to doing exactly that.”
