Today marks one year since the governing APNU+AFC fell to a no confidence motion (NCM) and the opposition People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) has taken the opportunity to criticize government’s behaviour since that time.
In a press statement to mark the occasion the party declared that the last year should demonstrate to all why this Government should never ever be trusted again with political power.
The corruption, incompetence, lack of vision, discrimination, neglect of the productive sectors, mismanagement and squandermania which permeate every sector of Government over the past year, aggregate to vindicate the passage of the NCM, the party claimed.
According to the PPP/C, over the last 12 months Guyanese and the world have witnessed the lengths to which Government will travel to cling to political power, including disobeying rulings from the judiciary, abrogating the rule of law, trampling upon the Constitution, destroying the nation’s democratic credentials and governing by tyranny rather than the Constitution and by virtue of the will of the people.
“Notwithstanding the fact that they are utterly illegal, they continue in office as if it is business as usual,” the party lamented.
The party further claimed that during the tenure of the APNU+AFC the Guyanese public and the world have seen thievery in governmental office, widespread nepotism, share-away of public assets to friends and families in the most flagrant and vulgar fashion and a refusal to account to the integrity commission for the billions acquired while in Government.
“This year has also showcased the Government’s tenacious attempts to deny the right of the Guyanese electorate to exercise their franchise to vote at the next elections and their aggressive agenda to compromise the electoral process,” the statement added.
