The UN rep is confusing the Guyanas. How can he say such a thing in the absence of local govt elections. There is no free press .The cabal controls the state media with no access allowed opposition politicans. One minister even owns a TV station.

Your late hero not our late hero. Jagan was a crook who supported Burnham to destroy Guyana.

Jagan was in love wid de burnham constipation of 1980.

This is when we must salute our late hero, Cheddi B. Jagan, for his life's work to bring democracy to Guyana. Freedom comes with a high price, but only one man accomplish it by free and fair election we never had before 1992. 

Sorry, I am speaking for myself. In the case where Jagan supported Burnham to destroy Guyana would be the same as Indians in the (AFC) that supporting (PNC) to do the same.

Your lame attempt at an analogy is consistent with your PPP - a Failure and of course the usual serpent piss which is free and abundant.

Democracy is alive in Guyana – UN Resident Representative

Guyana’s UN Resident Coordinator and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative Khadija Musa has confirmed that this is so. During a reception held at the Princess Hotel recently for the visiting Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) Director Dr. Carissa Etienne, Musa stated that Guyana is a “very challenging country politically. The democracy in this country is a very hard core democracy; we follow it day to day. The media is quite open and writes a lot, so we learn a lot from the media.”

The fact that democracy exists in Guyana is no coincidence. It came about through the conduct of peaceful and credible elections in 1992 and should be acknowledged. Today, through a system of good democratic practices, Guyana remains stable even as thoughts fester over the past system of autocratic rule.

President Donald Ramotar at a Permanent Council of the Organisation of American States’ (OAS) Protocolary Session said: “ The restitution of democracy to our nation and the strengthening of its democratic process were achieved after arduous political struggles spanning four decades…consequently for us, independence and democracy are committed goals and cherished ideals which we constantly strive to preserve, strengthen, protect and expand in keeping with both our constitutional obligations, as well as our commitments to the charter to the OAS…and other regional and regional and international instruments.”

Democracy in Guyana is of utmost importance during the conduct of elections. This process which has earned the trust and confidence of citizens across the country is the heartbeat of democracy. Citizens remember well the past of rigged elections and lives given to defend the right to elect a government of their choice.

Democracy is a universal value based on the freely expressed will of people to determine their own political, economic, social and cultural systems, and their full participation in all aspects of their lives.
