Earlier this week, the illegal APNU+AFC Coalition continues to act in a manner inconsistent with its diminished authority, following the passage of the No-Confidence Motion and the declaration of the Motion as valid.

The largest contract total some $259.71M for the construction of a building, while the smallest is some $26.62M for the extension of another building.

Cabinet met on Tuesday (November 26, 2019) in continued defiance of the Constitution of Guyana and the rulings of Guyana’s apex court.

This is in defiance of the Constitution and the rulings and orders of the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ). It added that Article 106 (6) and (7) “require no gloss” on the part of the Court in order to render them intelligible and workable.

The Court said, “Their meaning is clear and it is the responsibility of constitutional actors in Guyana to honour them. Upon the passage of a vote of no confidence, the Article requires the resignation of the Cabinet including the President. The Article goes on to state, among other things, that notwithstanding such resignation, the Government shall remain in office and that an election shall be held within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall by resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the votes of all the elected members of the National Assembly determine …”

The orders of the CCJ, handed down on July 12, 2019, said: “Due observance of constitutional democracy and the rule of law in Guyana rests, in large measure, with the conduct of the various branches of government, that is, the President and the Cabinet, the Parliament and the Judiciary. All must be faithful to the spirit and letter of the Constitution and operate within the parameters given to each by the Constitution.”  It added, “The Court must assume that these bodies and personages will exercise their responsibilities with integrity and in keeping with the unambiguous provisions of the Constitution bearing in mind that the no confidence motion was validly passed as long ago as 21 December 2018.”

The CCJ also stressed that given the passage of the no confidence motion on 21 December 2018, a general election should have been held in Guyana by 21 March 2019,
