The delay in the appointment of the Opposition Leader is unjustified

Dec 25, 2025 Letters

Dear Editor,

I would like to congratulate President Irfaan Ali and his government on the acquisition of the new and modern ferry for the Parika to Supernaam run.

From the photographs in the media, apart from being able to transport much more vehicles it has catered to the needs and comfort of passengers. I sincerely hope that the traveling public appreciate this factor and ensure that the facilities are treated with care and respect for other users.

I have read in last Sunday Stabroek newspaper a letter from Mr. Neville Bissember in which he dealt with the non-appointment of Mr. Azruddin Mohamed as the Leader of the Opposition of our Parliament. He illustrated the classic example of Mr. Bouterse of Suriname who although (1) being tried and convicted in absentia for drug trafficking in the Netherlands and sentenced to 11 years imprisonment and (2) being accused for the murder of 15 persons, he was allowed by the International Community and Caricom to take part in Caricom meetings and to serve as Chairman of Caricom.

I had also read the pronouncement of Attorney-General Anil Nandlall about the damage the appointment of Mr. Azruddin Mohamed can do to the image of Guyana. I note the seemingly utter reluctance of the Speaker of Parliament to convene the first sitting of Parliament when the appointment of the Opposition leader can take place. The letter of Mr. Bissember gave a strong reason why the delay in the appointment of the opposition Leader is unjustified and I do really look forward to a rebuttal and response from our Attorney-General. Please Mr. Attorney-General do not disappoint as it is a good debate.

Sincerely,
K.A. Juman-Yassin S.C.
