There was a motion by the Opposition to discuss the rising cost of living, but the Speaker of the National Assembly Manzoor Nadir withdrew the motion. The motion was first presented in January, was resubmitted in February, was approved in April, withdrawn, then was approved once more, and expected to be presented and debated on July 21st, but it was not because the Speaker changed his mind. The fact that this motion was first presented in January and in July it was said that it would not be discussed demonstrates that the wellbeing of the Guyanese people is not a priority while the egos of men cloud their judgement and the puppeteers do not care about our suffering.
