Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo said yesterday that elections preparations and government’s compliance with the Constitution are the key issues he intends to raise during Wednesday’s meeting with President David Granger.
In a statement issued last evening on the agenda for the proposed meeting following the December 21 passage of a no-confidence motion against the government, Jagdeo criticised government’s move to the courts and charged that the protracted period for the meeting is to give the administration time to wriggle out of the obligations imposed on it by the constitutional provisions.
“Compliance with our Constitution in relation to the no-confidence motion and preparation for free and fair elections will therefore be the main issue on the agenda…we will however still keep an open mind on issues of governance despite the bad faith approach and concerted attempts by the Coalition to squander the goodwill for progress and mature, sensible behaviour,” Jagdeo said.
