DEAR EDITOR,
I do not subscribe to the idea of shared governance or an inclusive government as a result of March 2, 2020 General Elections impasse, as some Guyanese have been ventilating of recent. Such calls at this stage in our country’s political accounts can be viewed as an artificial imposition and premature stance to appease the present electoral crisis.
First, there must be a democratic transition of government by way of a transparent and credible electoral process, and the will of the Guyanese people must be respected.
Secondly, should the PPP by virtue of being victorious at the just concluded national polls have to form a government, then it should be noted that the PPP already has a Civic component on its slate as part of inclusiveness (and just to reflect back to the run-up to the 1992 General Elections, it was due to the collapse of the Patriotic Coalition for Democracy (PCD) that the Civic slate was birthed.)
Third and finally, an opposition party or parties should be allowed to function in such capacity and maintain that level of independence, as this gives rise to a clear and stronger political mandate, as it holds the government accountable and ensures appropriate checks and balances are in place for a sound government structure.
Sincerely yours,
Paul Ramrattan
Listen to the man that is throwing Guyanese bright future away
