WASHINGTON: Earlier today, Tuesday, February 24, 2015, United States Members of Congress Hakeem Jeffries of the 8th District of New York and Yvette Clarke of the 9th District of New York called on the Obama Administration to “reassess its policy towards the Republic of Guyana and assist in resolving the current political crisis within the Guyanese government.”

In a letter to US Secretary of State John Kerry, the two Members of the US House of Representatives said that on November 10, 2014, Guyanese President Donald Ramotar abruptly dissolved the National Assembly (Parliament) as Members assembled to debate a motion of “no confidence” which was introduced for consideration by the opposition party – Alliance for Change (AFC).

Hakeem Jeffries and Yvette Clarke simply are unaware that President Donald Ramotar's actions are within the specific laws and procedures in Guyana.
