Businessman Roshan Khan yesterday called on the two main political parties – the People’s Progressive Party and the People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) – to work together for the good of Guyana.
Khan was one of four persons who held up placards outside of the Ministry of the Presidency where President David Granger and Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo met to discuss the current situation, which includes GECOM’s readiness to hold elections.
Khan in an invited comment to Stabroek News called for an end to “this partisan politics.” In this regards he called on the two parties to work together.
He said with the greatness that will be happening in Guyana there will be “gorillas watching over our weaknesses…to try to deplete our resources and take everything from us and leave us with nothing.” To this end he said that the only way for this to be resolved is “to work together with all the political entities and at least the People’s Progressive Party and the People’s National Congress…to work together.”
He said that these two parties were birthed from the same womb. “We want them all to come together and serve Guyana. Make the people excited. Make us feel safe. Make us feel protected and save the resources of our country from gluttonous, monstrous companies who are trying to come wipe everything out.”
He called for the PPP and the PNCR to come together in a coalition government.
Khan expressed hope that the meeting would be a success. “They have to realize Guyana is facing a constitutional crisis. Something we never had in this country and we cannot afford that or handle that,” he said, adding that today (yesterday) was ‘D day’ to prove whether they are fit for leadership.
Another protestor Don Singh expressed strong objection to house-to-house registration by GECOM. He said that he doesn’t see anything wrong with the current voters’ list. That list will expire on April 30th.
“The list can be cleansed,” he stressed.
Joining the duo were concerned citizens Jonathan Yearwood and Mark France.
