Instead of his ‘humbling’ Granger’s presidential powers, Granger has humbled Nagamootoo’s ambition – PPP General Secretary

People’s Progressive Party General Secretary Clement Rohee on Monday urged Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo to expose his “testicular perspicacity” by reducing President David Granger’s powers as he promised.
Following numerous occasions of Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo speaking extensively about the need for the presidential powers to be reduced, seven months have elapsed since the new administration took office but to date nothing of this commitment has been realised.
“Not a single initiative has been taken by Nagamootoo to humble the powers of the President and the excess of the Executive… Let’s see if he has the testicular perspicacity to do so in the upcoming review of the constitution,” Rohee posited.
Rohee said it appears as though tables have turned for Nagamootoo who had intended to lessen the powers of the executive.
“Nagamootoo has abandoned and his high-sounding and ambitious reform objectives and instead of his ‘humbling’ Granger’s presidential powers, Granger, for his part, has humbled Nagamootoo’s ambition by refusing to allow him to chair Cabinet meetings, and has limited his portfolio responsibilities to that which was administered by Kwame McCoy under the PPP/C administration,” he explained.
Soon after being sworn in as Prime Minister, he again stated that he wants to “start on humbling the powers of the President, the excess powers of the Executive, and to bring about inclusion within the government system.”
At a campaign rally in Vreed-en-Hoop, West Coast Demerara, Nagamootoo declared that part of the problem in Guyana is that too much power is concentrated in one person’s hand and that this needed to be changed in order for Guyana to move forward.
