Parking meters group to protest over disrespecting of constitution

The Mass Action People’s Movement (MAPM) – formerly known as the Movement Against Parking Meters – is organising a peaceful protest tomorrow from 12:00 noon to 1 pm outside of the Minis-try of the Presidency, at the Vlissengen Road entrance over the need for constitutional compliance.

A statement yesterday from the group said that the protest is aimed at driving home the need for Constitutional compliance by the ruling Party. It is being held under the banner of “Disrespect for Constitution = Disrespect for Guyanese.” 

In addition, the statement said that MAPM is calling on all businesses to close operations during the hour of the protest in order to facilitate both the business owners and their staff to join the protest. 

It added that MAPM is an apolitical organisation dedicated to representing the interest of Guyanese who want good governance , transparency, respect for the rule of law and obedience  to the constitution.

“MAPM is committed to continuing our demands and protest until such time as we are convinced that all stakeholders are in total compliance with the rule of law and the constitution to ensure the stability of our democracy”, the statement added.
