Tinkering with the Constitution
DEAR EDITOR,
I was never one of those people who are in favour of tinkering with The Guyana Constitution to suit our own needs.
However, when PNC Forbes Burnham and PPP Bharrat Jagdeo are deemed to be “Dictators” by some people then there must be something inherently wrong with The Guyana Constitution especially when it is producing Dictatorships.
If we are following a document that has faults in it no matter how sincere our desire and efforts to help ordinary Guyanese these faults will hinder our progress and create problems along the way.
As an example, while proroguing Parliament is Constitutional it is not Democratic. Similarly, while unilaterally selecting GECOM Chairman is Constitutional it is not democratic. Hence, our faulty Constitution needs to be revised.
There needs to be more checks and balances in place in Guyana to thwart the rise of Dictators.
