situation and the need for more to be done to realize the establishment of a National Democratic Front Alliance with the Party ahead of the next General and Regional elections.
At the PPP’s weekly press conference held yesterday at Freedom House, the Party’s General Secretary, Clement Rohee said the Party is satisfied that its ideology, political principles and track-record have managed to attract many stakeholders who are interested in joining its National Democratic platform to build and further develop Guyana.
He however did not identify the respective stakeholders, saying it was a broad forum and there was no point in identifying organizations or individuals.
“The PPP is also appreciative of the fact, that contrary to what the Stabroek News described as ‘usual fulmination’, more and more stakeholders are condemning the opposition’s actions to stymie development and cripple progress in advancing the socio-economic growth of Guyana,” Rohee asserted.
He said the broad National Democratic Front Alliance would see Guyanese electors benefiting significantly from higher levels of transparency, accountability, good governance and democratic rule.
“The Party’s engagements with a wide range of stakeholders have revealed that resentment is growing increasingly as a result of the opposition’s misuse of parliamentary power and abuse of their one seat majority….The PPP intends to mobilize greater support for the building of a true National Unity Government. The Party is encouraged by the response to its call and is excited that the country’s political culture and system of governance will be further strengthened by its actions.” Rohee declared.
Additionally, the General Secretary said the Party has taken note of attempts by the leader of PNC/R and APNU David Granger to create the impression that there is genuine concern in his camp about pursuing the notion of shared governance.
“The PPP/C wishes to re-affirm its position that shared governance in Guyana is realizable only when serious thought and actions are directed at building trust, formulation of a common platform on socio-economic issues and the rebirth of commitment on the part of the opposition towards fast tracking the development of Guyana for the benefit of all Guyanese.”
He said the Party is of the view that any proposal for shared governance should be based on the social, political and cultural realities in Guyana and not used as a tool to score cheap political points.
