Diverting attention away from their own wrong-doings and the rapid decline of the economy.

That is the way the Barbaric Dictatorship operated and their GNi FILTH HEAD supporters are too stupid and DUMB to understand State control and the effects of brutal Dictators, The same FOOLS has a problem with Trump who is 1000 times better that the entire PNC. Bloody IDIOTS I tell you!!!!!!!!!

With this political party in power Guyana's economy will collapse. Over two decades in the opposition and their ways have not changed. It's back to the Burnhamite era. Back to backwardness and corruption

It appears that the arrest had to do with them not showing up to an "invitation" to Socu interrogation. This high handedness shown by Clive Thomas and company is not democratic.
