Insulting the intelligence of the Foreign Envoys/Diplomats
DEAR EDITOR,
I read with keen interest the speech that ‘caretaker’ President Granger had given to the Foreign Envoys/Diplomats that he is following the Consequential Orders of the CCJ and the Constitution of Guyana. It is a joke. In clear language – Law or otherwise – the judges of CCJ said that the Constitution must be the Guiding Force that the Government must follow. Yet the Attorney General is saying that the Consequential Order handed down by the CCJ doesn’t say that the President and Cabinet must resign. What “hog wash”….it’s written in the Constitution. All they have done is try to insult the Intelligence of the foreign diplomats.
After all the shenanigans, this government has displayed, what moral authority does this government has to demand credible elections, when all of its actions are less than credible since the NCM. If any diplomat, including Caricom, believes that the President is following the Consequential Orders and the Constitution then I have some oil leases in “La La Land” that I am willing to sell them.
At this stage, the International Community should demand (not request) that the government comply fully with the Constitution and the CCJ’s Consequential Order within a week. If the government fails to do so, the International Community should consider applying some soft sanctions at this point, e.g. revoking the President, Cabinet members and other government officials’ visas.
