Dear Editor,
It was a sad day yesterday for Guyana. A dual citizen is acting in the role of Prime Minister of Guyana. This is an embarrassment to us all. Every man, woman and child of Guyana has been slapped by this blatant act that mocks the Constitution of Guyana. Our Guyana weeps once again.
Article 101 of our Constitution reads inter alia, “? ?????? ?ℎ? ?? ??? ???????? ?? ?? ??????? ?? ????????? ?ℎ??? ??? ?? ???????? ??? ??????????? ?? ????? ????????”.
Isn’t there any Guyanese citizen capable of acting in this role? Shame on the APNU/AFC collective. Mr Greenidge should acknowledge that he is “unfit and improper” to suit the position of Guyana’s Prime Minister, he should resign posthaste.
Before I close this letter, it is noted that the DPI has tried to justify Greenidge’s appointment (in his Facebook post) by referring to Janet Jagan’s presidency. The Government continues to justify their wrong decisions by comparing to the wrongs of the past. Two wrongs do not make it right. Suffice to say that, based on the New York Times and other sources, Janet Jagan lost her US Citizenship since the cold war. Nevertheless, Editor, this is not about Janet Jagan. If we know better then let us do better.
In conclusion, isn’t the Government most duplicitous in encouraging a court action against Dual Citizenship in the National Assembly and then immediately swearing in a person with dual citizenship to the seat of the Prime Minister? Surely the Attorney General is aware of Article 101.
