The foreign diplomats should offer an apology to all Guyanese

Sep 21, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

As a Guyanese, I feel very much offend by the recent joint statement made by our foreign diplomats on our internal political affairs. This statement flies in the face of our independence, threatens our sovereignty and disrespected every Guyanese. Our mutual respect and ability to cooperate has been wounded. These diplomats have been way out of order and we must let them know in no uncertain manner. Their pronouncement on the constitutionality of our domestic affairs and election date has overstepped even what the CCJ and recently what our Chief Justice refused to do. Our constitution is not a one clause says it all. Each clause must act with other clauses to give meaning and guidance to practical outcome. How can these learned diplomats acted so recklessly? It is being said in some corners that had it been President Forbes Burnham, these diplomats would have been on their way to the airport. The truth is Guyana Election Commission lacks the capacity at this moment to deliver credible snap election. How could these diplomats fail to recognise this?
The mention of possible effect of aid and other benefits from their respective countries is a slap again in the face of every Guyanese again. This must be blamed on some politicians whose behaviour is unpatriotic and will stop at nothing to personally gain power. Their vulture’s behavior has been embarrassing this country and may be wholly responsible for the statement emanating from our foreign diplomats. But mutual respect should have guided these diplomats’ pronouncement. I believe that these diplomats should offer the Guyanese an apology so we can maintain mutual respect and cooperation in future endeavors.

Yours sincerely
C. Woolford
