The report ignores the PPP’s 1% oil profit arrangement and their give away of 600 blocks in its initial contract with ExxonMobil as well as Bharrat Jagdeo’s attempts to give away part of Essequibo to Venezuela.

Now Global Witness conspiracy is exposed, the PPP must answer some questions.
Shortly after the APNU-AFC government tookoffice, there were whispers of the PPP deliberately attempting to undermine the negotiations with ExxonMobil. It was whispered that the PPP was telling ExxonMobil officials that a PPP Government would accept 1% royalty.
GLOBAL WITNESS – & THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST GUYANA’S APNU+AFC COALITION GOVERNMENT
Is Global Witnesses funding the anti-government campaign; including high priced attorneys’ fees and research for lawsuits? Has it donated monies to the political opposition? The People of Guyana deserve to know.
Vote like your life depends on it, because it just might
After the 2002 jailbreak, and subsequent crime spree, the PPP entered into an alliance with Drug Lords and criminals to hunt and kill young Guyanese. A Minister of the government imported the equipment the Drug Lords used for tracking their preys. When the dust settled over 400 young Guyanese were dead.
Take up the Lawrence Challenge: Be vigilant
In 2015, when faced with defeat at the polls, the PPP introduced a number of fake Statement of Polls (SOPs) into the system. They demanded recount at several polling places, even thought their polling agents signed the SOPs attesting to the accuracy of the results. Imagine the scenario if those boxes were tampered with after the count, and the recount differed from the SOPs.

The PNCR asked PPP government to act on climate change, but they refused
It was against this background the PNCR went to parliament and asked the PPP Government to establish a Climate Change Commission. The PPP rejected the request. Instead, the PPP advanced the most perplexing and absurd argument that, “the large countries are to be blamed and they must provide financing for small countries to prepare for climate change.”
The ball is now in Jagdeo’s court.
Jagdeo now finds himself in the situation where he is protesting for elections, but is now refusing to do what is necessary for the elections to be held; returning to Parliament. Soon sympathy for his cause will begin to wane, and he will lack the moral platform to appeal to the donor community.
Britain cannot tell us what to do: Rohee
Former PPP Foreign Affairs Minister, Clemente Rohee, declared that the government didn’t have to listen to Britain. He said, “some members of the diplomatic community are becoming more and more involved in our internal affairs especially when it comes to holding of elections… ” Rohee then asserted that it is normal for members of the diplomatic community to make these statements, but it is up to the government to determine how to respond
