When an illegal entity vainly tries to become legal

Oct 08, 2019 Letters

DEAR EDITOR,

The PNC Led Coalition is vainly trying to regain a legal status in this country and they are doing this in the most despicable of ways, that is, trying to coerce The Opposition to attend parliament to do so. They would like The PPP/C to go to parliament, to, in its truest sense grant them the recognition they so much crave at this time, that they are still “the government.” Well, if this is not the actions of a bully then tell me what is? When this government has broken every law every constitutional mandate, can now turn again and ask The Opposition to legitimize their illegal standing before the people. This is an unforgivable situation in our Guyanese experience, the root cause for all of this being The PNC, led by its Attorney General Basil Williams.
Instead of pointing the accusing finger at himself, the ever cunning and slippery Basil Williams is putting the blame squarely at the feet of The PPP/C. As he claims The Opposition is the sure cause for this gridlock we have found ourselves.
But he is ever so wrong, why didn’t he and his party respect the rulings of the court, or why didn’t he and his government adhere to the dictates of the constitution? All civilized states are governed by laws and Guyana is no exception? For the smooth running of the ship of state, all laws must be upheld, there is no second guessing in this scheme of things. In this regard The PNC is guilty many times over and for this they must bear full responsibility for their actions.
As a statement of fact the opposition has said “We are not going back to parliament,” it is a clarion call, clear and definitive as could be, end of discussion! Why should they legitimize an illegal entity, the government has expired and so did its parliament! The PNC are now squatters, illegals since midnight September 18th 2019, and no amount of cajoling or “bully talk” can change that. “The truth is, the life of The Eleventh Parliament of Guyana expired when The Government expired.”

Respectfully Submitted
