Permanent or not, it's asinine. If you must, create a separate flag for the occasion.

One does not change or alter the flag.

The FLAG is the FLAG; a permanent representation of a nation.

It's a legit question...just wanted to know if this is permanent or for the occasion ( I am not defending it)

One has no right to alter the national flag for any purpose.

As far as I could see the Golden Arrowhead has an added color, but no explanation was given so far. Is it compulsory to give an explanation for whatever reason it is? 

Five countries that have changed their flags recently

The following five countries have made the change over the past century, although, with the exception of Malawi, it followed constitutional or revolutionary change. As soon as the Government changed the flag, Malawians opted to go back to the old design.

1. Libya

Libya’s old flag was known among vexillophiles as the world’s most boring flag, just a green rectangle. Libya had a good reason to change its flag and it wasn’t just because it was boring. They had a revolution in which they threw out the authoritarian regime of Muammar Qaddafi. The new flag is actually an old flag resurrected from the Kingdom of Libya which existed between 1951 to 1969.

2. Malawi

Malawi’s first flag of Independence was adopted in 1964. The sun rising represented the dawn of hope and freedom after gaining independence from colonial rule. The flag was altered by the newly elected Democratic Progressive Party in 2010. There was much public outcry about whether there was a need to change the flag and in 2012, Parliament, under the new President Joyce Banda, voted to go back to the old one.

Before:

After:

3. Venezuela

To commemorate what he called a Bolivarian revolution after his election in 1998 Hugo Chavez decided to modify the Venezuelan flag. As a reference to his revolution he added an eighth star. He also modified the country’s coat of arms so that the white horse would gallop to the left of the shield instead of the right to symbolise Chavez’s 21st century socialism.

Before:

After:

4. Georgia

The new flag of Georgia was adopted in 2004 after being widely used in the Rose Revolution the year before. The new (old) flag has quite a history. Widely known as the Georgian Historical Flag the red on white Jerusalem cross was originally known as the flag of Tblisi in the 14th century. Following its independence from Russian rule Georgians actually wanted to adopt it again in 1999 but President Eduard Shevardnadze refused to endorse it.

Before:

After:

5. Myanmar

The flag of Myanmar (Burma) was adopted in 2010 to replace the socialist flag. The change followed the 2008 change in the Constitution including the name of the country. The colours on the flag represent the virtues of solidarity, peace and tranquillity.

Nothing is wrong with changing the flag. But did those responsible seek the approval of the people and debated this in the assembly 

You cannot just wake up one day and say lets change a national symbol 

The PPP has suggested that the added color reflects the PNC party color which is unconstitutional. I don't believe it because it sends a message that the PNC is there to stay forever in power. That can't be possible.

Incorrect. 

A flag is not permanent. America’s flag has gone through many changes.

So please, enlighten us as to why it was necessary to add another colour, why that colour, why the ridiculous placement and by whose authority.

I am stating what the PPP has suggested in their new brief. I am discussing the topic on bit and pieces that I gathered from reading different news sources. 

United States' flag has gone through changes as the country progressed with the addition of states to what it is today.

The evolution of changes started in 1775 with first the Union Jack in the upper left corner which was changed about two years later to the stars and the last change which was approved in 1960.

Dg, the stinking, Criminal, Dumb and Violent PNC do not seek, need, want APPROVAL, they are the People of Guyana!!!

So basically, you’re now admitting that your statement about a flag being permanent is wrong.

Think before you write crap on GNI 💩

I still want know if this was just a temporary thing....for the event

When a flag is approved, it is permanent until a change is approved.

The Flag itself is a permanent symbol representing a nation. Like a coat of Arms. Any changes to the symbology and wording if any should be done constitutionally not at someone's whim. 

I don't disagree...just wanna know if this will be the flag going forward, or it was just a one off

Permanent means it won't be changed, Stupidee.

If there is more than one flag with added color, then it's time for concern with the government. I would give it a rest for now until we get an update.

The Golden Arrowhead, Guyana's National Flag has FIVE symbolic colors -- GREEN represents the agricultural and forested nature of Guyana, WHITE symbolizes the rivers and water potential of the country, a GOLDEN arrow represents Guyana's mineral wealth, BLACK portrays the endurance that will sustain the forward thrust ...

Dj, Like you blind. Take a very close look at to what the PNC did to the flag. It is disgraceful.

A country's flag should be updated regularly to accurately represent the country and its people.

It already has black in it, how about a brown stripe to replace that additional Black stripe that the PNC put on it ?

The flag should remain the way it originally was otherwise if each group demands representation, it will have many more colours and look stupid.

If DJ had his way, the flag would be all black, endurance as he sees it or black power.

True, but only after discussions on it and not throw in something willy nilly.

How many of you have something showing the flag's colours? I have boxing gloves on my rear view mirror..a cap and a bag.

PPP slams gov’t over six-colour flag at independence event

The darker green is evident at the bottom of the flag (Terrence Thompson photo)

May 31 2018

The People’s Progressive Party has lambasted Government “on the despicable and unconstitutional alteration of Guyana’s national flag” hoisted at D’Urban Park to mark the nation’s 52nd Independence anniversary as “intent on trampling” on Guyana’s national symbols.

In a release on Tuesday, the PPP said, “Guyanese have witnessed the practice of national symbols being treated as the property of this Administration – the last such act evidenced in the seizure of the national flag from the Corriverton Town Council on the anniversary of our Republic.”

With regard to alteration of the national flag, the party said, “The Second Schedule included in Guyana’s Constitution devotes two pages (pages 260 and 261) to the heraldic description of Guyana’s national flag. The description makes it clear that there are five distinct colours – not six – and defines their proportions.”

The “unauthorized alteration of the national flag”, the PPP said, “connects one of Guyana’s most significant national symbols to the People’s National Congress Reform” via the inclusion of that party colour along the end of the flag and it was reminiscent of “the repressive regime of the PNC pre-1992.”

The national flag that was flown and as seen in pictures shows the border of the flag in a darker shade of the green.

The PPP said, “The practice of the PNC flag being flown above Guyana’s courts has not been forgotten by the Guyanese people.”

Guyanese have not forgotten, the party said, President David Granger’s comments in 2016 at the PNCR’s 19th Biennial Delegates Congress, where he said the party’s constitution was “supreme law” and they have not forgotten that it was at a similar meeting held by the PNC in 1974, where then President  Forbes Burnham promoted the principles of party paramountcy. The PPP quoted Burnham as saying, “It was decided that the Party should assume unapologetically its paramountcy over the Government, which is merely one of its executive arms.”

Calling on Guyanese to reject the alteration of the flag, the PPP said, “This act is the latest of an increasingly authoritarian administration and adds to the numerous constitutional violations committed since May 2015.”

Meanwhile, Minister of Social Cohesion Dr George Norton yesterday told Stabroek News that he only learnt about the flag yesterday after it was brought to his attention by the media.

“I did not know about it. We should not have hoisted a damaged flag,” he said. It was unfortunate that the PPP, he said, was trying to make  political mileage out of the issue.

Minister in the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon told Stabroek News that the PPP’s release was foolish to suggest that the party in Government was trying to use its colours on the flag. “It is stretching the imagination to accept a position like that.”

Not knowing what took place, he said, he could only suggest that the edges of the flag might have been frayed and some amount of remedial work was done to stabilize the flag.

More Bullshit from an INCOMPETENT, DUMB DICTATORSHIP!!!!
