If one is to observe the state of our economy in 2018, this country is in major trouble. President David Granger has made a series of dire mistakes – starting with the 50% for some of his Ministers, as well as failing to arrest the corruption and high level of incompetence in his Government – and that is to his personal disadvantage.
The Guyanese people cannot believe anything that they are told these days. The appointments of heads of departments illustrate an absolute lack of ethnic and social diversity, and are the absolute opposite of social cohesion.
This brings us to the no confidence motion. This motion is in order.
No confidence motions are used world over to express deep dissatisfaction with the Government of the day. The reality is that the Government owes an obligation to its citizenry at large. Not just its support bases, but also the citizens who would have voted for the opposition at the last election.
The opposition is fulfilling its obligations to its support bases. But ironically, the opposition is also representing the citizens who voted for the Granger administration, but who have not seen any of the APNU/AFC coalition’s promises materialize, and who demonstrated their disapproval in the local government elections.
Why did Sophia, a historical PNC stronghold, not elect a PNC councilor? Is that something that we should think about and why it happened?
What is clear to me is that the people want to see President Granger, the President of their country, stop the massive spending and waste which does not trickle down to the people, but ends up in the pockets of fat cats and their business buddies.
I have no doubt that had the citizens felt that the APNU/AFC coalition had kept its promises, there would have been strong objection to the no confidence motion. Instead, the citizens are silent. Hoping something will wake the slow-moving bureaucratic machine of this Government.
