C.O.I needed into the process leading up to the imposition of the 1980 constitution
Dear Editor,
As the Coalition Government approaches its third year in office, there is need to examine critically what were their set objectives and to what extent their objectives have been achieved. To commence with constitutional reform was high on the Coalition’s agenda on the electoral trail. However, three years later and the Coalition continues to rule as they (P.P.P) did for 23 years: unconstitutionally and illegally. It has been so far established that periodic elections under the fraudulent 1980 constitution are null and void, and resulted in a state of lawlessness claiming the lives of many Guyanese and the forced migration of half of our population. The Ruling Political Elites of the People’s National Congress (P.N.C), The People’s Progressive Party (P.P.P) and the now (A.P.N.U)+(A.F.C) have been giving away our land and national resources using the 1980 constitution and its illegally vested power to grant them immunity for crimes they have committed.
Guyanese have got to stop being fooled and bullied by these political gangsters. Like the P.P.P, the Coalition has absolutely no intention of making any changes to the constitution that would do away with their despotic powers of the Executive President and the immunity he and his canopy of officials enjoy. The Coalition is engaged in a dangerous enterprise, the stakes are high and the conflict between the aged political forces the P.P.P and the P.N.C is going to result in much racial animosity.
Surely to avoid the calamity that faces the Guyanese Nation a C.O.I into the process leading up to the imposition of the 1980 constitution, commencing with the Rigged Referendum of July 1978 could determine the fate of the nation and the way forward.
