How long more can the PPP hoodwink world powers?
The no confidence motion cases saw PPP lawyers eloquently and vociferously argued that Charandass Persaud’s election to Parliament can only be challenged by way an elections petition. Chief Justice Roxanne George and the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ) agreed and ruled in their favor. Now, in 2020, they’ve come to the court with reverse argument.
MESSAGE TO MEMBERS OF THE JOINT SERVICES OF GUYANA: The PPP is not an option to govern Guyana
By Rickford Burke Joint Services ranks must unite with the majority of the electorate to vote overwhelmingly for the APNU+AFC coalition on February 21, 2020, and reelect President David Granger. The Coalition is the only hope for a stable, safe and prosperous Guyana. Guyanese must unite to crush Bharrat Jagdeo’s obscene attempt to grab Guyana’s…

THE GLOBAL WITNESS REPORT HAS BEEN SHREDDED BY GLOBAL EXPERTS: IT’S A FRAUD
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.
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.
Dr Jagan makes the case against overseas persons on the list
Dr Jagan was firm in the belief that that 16% overseas persons on the list will compromise the integrity of the elections. In 2019, Bharrat Jagdeo has the opposite position. He wants a list with 33% overseas persons.
The CCJ Stumped Jagdeo
However, the CCJ in its inexplicably remarkable wisdom held that the President violated the constitution by not consulting with Jagdeo on names that were not unacceptable to him. This consultation requirement is a ridiculous invention by the CCJ that is not provided for in the Guyana constitution. Additionally, the CCJ
