Isn't President Jagdeo protected by the Burnham  constitution that he cannot be charged?

Some legal mind that is familiar with Guyana's constitution please assist.

Ram is on which party list? Suspender boy looking for some traction. He has skid marks on his behind from the divorce settlements.

Did he really kicked his wife like a Soccer Player kicking a Ball???

Jagdeo is rough if he did kick Lady Varshnie.

They found his British passport in his diaper, held up by his suspenders.

Reading and understanding not your cup of tea.

Chief, I think you are right. He is immune from this type of prosecution.
Chris Ram is a jackass.He is looking to get soem mileage. Someone needs to grab his suspenders and give hima permanent snuggie.

The private criminal prosecution was this morning filed by lawyer Chris Ram in his capacity as the informant in the Corentyne Magisterial District and reads that on Sunday March 8 Jagdeo made statements to the public at large at a public meeting held in Babu John Corentyne…”which can result in racial or ethnic violence or hatred among the people”  as set out in Section 139 D of the Representation of the People Act.

None of these ladies were kicked out. They had messy divorces. What else is new?

Jagdeo is a private citizen and not the president. So he is not protected by the constitution. You guys should read the constitution properly before opening your mouth about what's in it.

I'll let your nonsense and ignorance pass.

There are protections for President and former Presidents.

Ow Al YUh leave DUMMY alone now.

Noting that Ram is a known critic, Dos Santos believed that the charge amounted to an unnatural obsession with his client. “I have examined the statements allegedly made by Mr. Jagdeo and which form the basis of the charge; I have examined the section of the law under which the charge has been laid and in my view the charge is frivolous, vexatious and an abuse of the process of the court in which it has been filed. Indeed, it is a gross misinterpretation and colossal misuse and abuse of section 139D of the Representation of the Peoples Act, Cap1:02,” said Dos Santos, a former Attorney General and Minister of Legal Affairs in a People’s Progressive Party Civic-led administration.

Dos Santos feared that the use of the law could be used to trample on politicians’ constitutional right to freedom of expression. “I will say however, that it constitutes an abridgement of the constitutional right and freedom of my client to speak and express himself freely. Indeed, this unprecedented use of a criminal charge to muzzle speakers at public political events is an assault on the democratic right of political leaders to speak freely on matters of national interest as well as a violation of the democratic right of the citizenry to receive such information. I can only imagine the devastating consequences which can flow if the criminal justice system will be used in such a manner and across the political divide. This is nothing more than political sensationalisation and mischief,” he said.

Chief, I believe a sitting President is protected by the provisions in the constitution you refer to. A former President cannot be prosecuted for his actions as a President....but the man and the time of the Chris Ram's charge are not protected. I stand corrected though......

I believe Kari is right.

It's good to give the Champion some roughing up.  However, we really want Jagdeo to keep talking. He spews crap every time and it helps the Coalition.

Gist of the issue.

Let the Court decide.  The MMU already indicted him for that.

JB Honey, There ain't nuttin fuh de kort fuh decide. You mamoo should have told you this. Didn't you guys call Guyana's court "kangaroo court"? Jagdeo is a thorn in the opposition's side. Instead of the opposition concentrating on the elections, they fight these trivial matters. Good diversion tactics by the PPP.

Yes, my approach would be to let Jagdeo keep talking nonsense so people are  reminded about "pension and mansion."

Main focus of the PNC cum AFC.

Wrap: High class Karma

Jagdeo is a disease awaiting a cure!

Jagdeo is an asset for the PPP/C. Moses was whipped like a step child (Not Jagan biological son) by Jagdeo. Moses cannot compete with an economic wiz kid. Moses voted for Jagdeo's pension because he thought home boy was going to reciprocate and vote for him to be the PPP presidential candidate. Moses got pissed off but Jagdeo told him that he was lucky he didn't get pissed ON.

I do not doubt he is an asset to the PPP. His brazen treatment of the nations purse of his piggy bank was precedent for all of them to dig in.

If Moses voted for his pension so what? Parliamentarians vote party line because that is what they are expected to do. Moses surely will get the chance to vote against it or at least lobby for it

I do not doubt jagdeo would love to piss on Moses. Unfortunately, Moses was not any of his boy toys

Hey Janet did not say economic wiz kid; she said financial wiz kid. I was there.

I stand corrected bro. I got 60% right-wiz kid

That is the point, Moses is too old to have an independent/new idea. Eichmann claimed that he killed the Jews because he was following orders. They placed a nose around his neck and the rest is history.

Moses is too old to have an independent/new idea.

Moses defied popular opinion and has provided leadership for such a time as this.  He took a great risk and joined with the APNU to move Guyana forward.

That's big in my book! And it gives the PPP the chills, that a new narrative is being written.

I guess the lady was right! You got to see first hand the rise of this not even a bicycle owning fellow to one able to charter private jets when he get the runs in a mere 12 years! Surely knew how to reach for the till!          

use the built in quote features or the blockquote tag to isolate what someone else say from yours.

Karma will catch up with him.

David tried to apologize for Grand Pa Moses by claiming that Identity is complex and Moses messed up. He wrote it so Moses can educate himself. The old fart forget how to be a reporter now that he has domestic chores.

I am surprised the PPP did not give out dart boards with Moses' picture on it.  Moses caused them to call snap elections and had them doing fancy footwork proroguing and dissolving.

What will they do when Moses sits opposite them as leader of govt business?

Moses never saw the promise land bro. He saw LANDD.

Moses took them out of the oppressive Egypt though (that's the PPP).

He took away a seat, and overall took 7 seats, and will get 12 seats after May 11.

He gave them so much grief!

His best years was with Jagan. Was he the Pharaoh? Moses has stupid/traitor stamped on his fore head since he tried to walk with Ranji Chandisingh. But he was too stupid to see it. Go get sober and come back.

Jagdeo meet he meetah

Old people seh you mustn’t let people wash dem mouth pun you.  That mean that people shouldn’t talk bad things about others, but Jagdeo, that young devil, don’t listen to wha old people seh, suh he got every Tom, Dick and Harrilall washing dem mouth pun he.
Chris Ram decide to carry him to court and he, Jagdeo, get a old lawyer who decide fuh cuss like dem old wash out done away whore. De lawyer write a statement and seh that he notice that Ram got an unnatural attraction fuh Jagdeo.
Dem two words ‘unnatural attraction’  mean that Ram want Jagdeo in an unnatural compromising way—in simple layman language, it means Jagdeo got to lie down pun he belly.
Dem boys seh that this thing nah come over as no big surprise. Is years now people use to hear this thing ‘bout Jagdeo and he unnatural attraction and style. Dem boys never see fuh demself, but it look like he lawyer know more, and hear more than anybody else fuh write such a statement.
Now Jagdeo find heself in trouble. He did carry people to court and sit down and laugh. Now people carrying him to court, suh he deh in more trouble than he ever see.
Dem boys always remember wan old man seh “Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they are in trouble again.”
De lawyer will definitely see Jagdeo again, because he got nuff more trouble fuh end up in.
Dem boys also remember another old man seh, “Many people are alive today, only because it is illegal to shoot dem.”
Talk half and no violence, please.

While Jagdeo was mischievous, I am not sure it rises to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors.  For example, posters here make such vicious and malicious attacks that will make people blush at the crassness.
