How many anti-corruption laws will be
debated/decided/written into to law and rigorously enforced by poo poo and the
courts.!
Not holding my breadth !
How many were instituted by previous
parliament ?
Political status-quo Guyana dilemma !
With or without “black gold” !

The move of PPP to assign 4 seats to Amerindians is a smart move. They constitute more than 10% of the Guyanese population and their numbers are growing. By contrast, the Indo-Guyanese population is declining. The opposition should take note of this development and respond proactively. In my opinion, future elections will be won by that party which mobilises best support by the Amerindian communities.
How many elections results reflect minorities ?
USA has a white minority yet an idiot in chief
was elected and may be re-elected for second
term…better devil u know !
Reformation of Guyana’s constitution is way
forward….scrap the written on and let parliament make decisions based on
democratic debate/voting by MPs.
MPs voting made public !
My spin

Kamtam, just look at the demographics and you’ll realise that the Amerindian vote will make the difference. Neither the Indo- nor the Afro-Guyanese are large enough to win an outright majority by themselves. The need the support of the Amerindians and the people of mixed race. Regarding the election laws, MPs should be directly elected based on the party list submitted at the time of election. It appears to me that the system of selecting MPs after seat numbers allocated to each party does not allow the electorate to select people of their trust and appeal to serve in parliament.
Make no mistake the PPP are well aware of the important role that the Indigenous peoples of Guyana will play in future elections. For 23 years this group of our first peoples were neglected under the PPP regime. President Granger and APNU did a lot to improve the lives of our Indigenous people during their short term in office. The opposition are also fully aware of what they need to do.
When broad statements are made without facts to back up these statements it is called fake news.I can give another history lesson on what the PPP did to help the Amerindian children because I was there witnessing first hand schools being built and equipped with solar panels to supply power for Lab top computers for the Amerindian children to kick start computer program in classroom.
This is only one of the several projects too numerous to mention. When I read inaccurate statements I like to educate the Guyanese people on true facts regardless of which party is in power. Note this is in no means trying to put down or embarrass anyone Thank You.
