Guyana legislators approve cuts to presidential pension, but bill expected to be vetoed

By The Associated Press, January 26, 2013, Source

GEORGETOWN, Guyana - Guyana's opposition-controlled Parliament has approved a bill that would slash the benefits of the South American country's former president.

Legislators voted to give Bharrat Jagdeo two bodyguards, three maids and assistants and two state-owned and maintained cars. Jagdeo currently enjoys unlimited access to such benefits, along with a $6,000 monthly pension.

The bill was approved late Friday by the Partnership for National Unity and the Alliance for Change, which have a one-seat majority in the 65-member House. However, President Donald Ramotar has said he will not sign the bill. Both Ramotar and Jagdeo belong to the People's Progressive Party.

Jagdeo's original pension plan was approved in 2009 when the People's Progressive Party had a majority in Parliament.

The President of Guyana has the exclusive authority to veto a bill.

The President of the US-of-A also has the authority to veto a bill.

It is you who is the dunce. The idea of mutual ability to stymie the other is the reason the legislative branch should be and is independent of the Executive contrary to the PPP. The point is legislation ought to be a cooperative enterprise unlike what the PPP was accustomed to, rubber stamping from its parliament majority. Now they are forced to do what was their duty, discuss, deliberate and then craft reasonable legislation. They bullied the original legislation on the President salary. It is clearly excessive and needs redress. If the President vetoes this note it will be excluded from the coming budget.
