For each year that the APNU+AFC Coalition Government stays in office, Guyana slides further downward, and after four years, Guyana democratic credentials on the global stage have been damaged.
This is according to Opposition Leader, Bharrat Jagdeo, during his Thursday (May 16, 2019) news conference, where he said, “Four years is enough to show a pattern…we have had four years of failure.”
According to him, on every country – from adherence to the Constitution to Parliamentary democracy – Guyana has been dealing with the consequences of missteps by the APNU+AFC Coalition Government.
Jagdeo’s comments came in response to the statement by the Coalition Government on the four anniversary of the 2015 General and Regional Elections, which claimed that there has been a transformation “our notion of democratic governance, would inspire new thinking within the population, which would in turn serve as a barrier to political backwardness” and that the Coalition has “restored respect for Guyana as a democracy.”
The Opposition Leader made it clear that the facts are clear as to Guyana’s democratic credentials after four years of the APNU+ AFC Coalition being in office.
