The Constitution that Jagdeo ratified prevents him from ever serving as President again so there is nothing to be concerned about. Mark Phillips is no pushover so he will assert his rights and responsibilities in this administration.

According to the Guyanese Constitution, it is the Prime Minister who is the first vice president, of Guyana.  For example, Sam Hinds took the oath of office, as president, following the demise of Dr. Cheddi Jagan.  However, under the Ali's Administration, Bharat Jagdeo has filled in the position as vice president.  This makes me wonder about the role of Mr. Mark Phillips.  Former Prime Minister, Moses Nagamottoo filled in the role of president in the absence of David Granger.  This is something we need to be cognizant about.  It therefore makes me wonder that Prime Minister Mark Phillips position has a diminished role, to play, in this new administration.  

As Prime Minister, Mark Phillips will correlate the activities of the Cabinet Ministers and their deputies. He will report to the President and chair Cabinet meetings when the President is not there. He will have consultations with the head of the Presidential secretariat. The Prime Minister will be in charge of the Civil Service. He will oversee the Internal affairs of the country. He will also be given a ministerial position.   He does not need to act as the President to give him more headaches.

Reza is comparing the PNC with the PPP which has different constitutions. You can depend on a coolie to bring down their Mattie coolie.

Rubber Stamp !!!

Check my post above.

Don't worry, Reza. Constitution will not be violated. Although not explicitly stated yet, Mark Philips as PM is also First Vice-president. When the full Cabinet names are released later this week you will see their full designations.

I suppose you're trying to tell us that Mark Philips is not in those photos. He cannot be 2 places at the same time. Dem boys seh Philips was on Main Street having a hard time getting Moses to vacate the Prime Minister's residence. 😁

The PPP is a multi-race party. Unlike the PNC who publicly advocated hiring people who are members of the PNC and look like them. Don't just select and choose the pictures where Mark Phillips is absent to spread false insinuations that PPP is a racist party and Phillips is redundant. PPP is not the PNC and never will.

When the full cabinet members and government MPs are named, one will see the respective positions of the individuals on the government side.

Similarly, we will know the opposition leader, shadow cabinet members plus other MPs of the opposition.

Bai, yuh meking me want to cuss. There is Rama claiming Guyana Constitution do not count, only the PPP constitution. And he compares the differences with the PNC consitution.

Communists thinking like Stalin.

I hope PNC regroup real quick and start putting some stick lashes pan alyuh good and proper.

The PPP up to their regular tricks, complete contempt for whatever is right.  

Maybe Ali will follow nature and cheat out Jagdeo of influence. Jagdeo better watch his back.

Mark Phillips is a token black face for the PPP to pretend that there is diversity in their leadership. Same as with Sam Hinds and Elizabeth Harper who was on the ticket as Ramotar's PM candidate in the 2015 elections. Where is she now and has anyone heard her name mentioned since 2015? She had to go running to Granger to beg for a job in the foreign service after the PPP tossed her aside. Ali Baba is but a mere rubber stamp as everyone knows that Jagdeo is calling the shots and divvying up the proceeds. It will be fourth term for Jagdeo as Ramotar was a puppet in the last PPP government.

The man swear himself in as VP. I doan think Indians care about that, dey pan tap.

Take off the dark glasses .

The PPP is an Indo party using some black people as facade to hide the racism. You don't know nothing about the party under Jagdeo .Mark Philips is a rubber stamp ,he is being used as a tool to control the Military ,there is a but  ,he may not have the support.

And perhaps, the PNC is an Afro party using some Indo people as facade to hide the racism.

Siggy, please don't cuss yet. Wait until the PPP/C releases its Cabinet names and portfolios. And by the way, Jagdeo's PPP is not communist by any stretch of the imagination. The CIA, MI6, CSIS and other intelligence agencies know that. Communism as a world force died 30 years ago.

Fact: the PPP/C's Afro members are greater numerically than the PNC's Indo members. Leave the AFC outa dis. Don't doubt me on this one, bhai.

The new government will re-start the housing program that was stopped by the coalition government in 2015.  People from all races and groups will receive a lot to build a house. The PPP has been a great helper to the low income people of Guyana.

What do you mean by follow nature?

Indeed, people from all races had received cheap house lots from the last PPP/C government under Housing Minister Dr Irfaan Ali and his predecessors Sheik Baksh and Indra Chandarpal.

Among the needed varied projects, the Government can now refocus on the development of the Amaila Falls Hydroelectric Project to serve a more stable electricity need for a large part of Guyana plus the development of local-mini hydro-power projects in the hinterland.

Why do you folks feel the need to tell stupid lies that can be easily debunked? House lots were also being distributed during the Coalition years in Government. I was there in 2017 for an extended period of time and people were applying for and receiving house lots.

Isn't that what the PNC did to Moses and Khemraj.  You didn't mind then. Whatever the PPP is doing is very legal.
