Henry apologises for any inconvenience from PPP/C walkout
5 Shares

Minister within the Ministry of Education Nicolette Henry today apologised for any inconvenience or distress caused by the incident where the opposition PPP/C walked out of the jubilee flag-raising event on Wednesday night because seats could not be found.

In a statement Henry said the PPP/C delegation arrived later than had been agreed and used the incorrect entrance.

So the PPP plays wrong and strong, by arriving late, and causing problems for those trying to ensure that the event went smoothly.

It is tempting to believe that this was a deliberate attempt by Jagdeo to be disruptive, and a refusal to admit that he isn't the Emperor of Guyana.

When yuh stupid yuh done stupid. Assigned seating and ushers are not things Bush People know about. Listen to the GNI Bushman spewing crap, well he trying.

In a statement Henry said the PPP/C delegation arrived later than had been agreed and used the incorrect entrance.

Seating Arrangements – a. The following Persons proceeded to the Presidential Section:

 Hon. Bharrat Jagdeo, MP

 Mr. Irfaan Ali, MP

 Mr. Anil Nandlall, MP

 Juan Edghill,, MP

 Mr. Clement Rohee,MP

The remaining members remained standing in the passage as Ms. Manickchand indicated they will only sit when they can be assigned seats together. (This was told to the usher)

c. Upon my arriving in the Presidential Section the Opposition Leader indicated they were concerns with the seating. I assured him I will address this immediately, so I proceeded by personally asking other invited persons to give up their seats to ensure the Opposition members were all seated together.

As soon as the persons began to give up their seats. The Opposition walked out.

Now, this is a knuckleheaded response from a person who is much smarter than most people here. Take a look at the Minister's response. Its a matter of "political courtesy" and "decency". 

Call it a blunder and move on...

Yes the PPP arrived late. The Minister extended the courtesy of having other people change seats to accommodate them.

The PPP was discourteous to both her, and to those who inconvenienced themselves by having to move, even though they arrived on time, by storming out.

As a leader of a country known for its indiscipline Jagdeo should have arrived when he was told to do so.  But instead he comes late. plays bully, and then behaves like a child who is refused a candy.

The minister showed that she was the bigger person by apologizing, when clearly what happened wasn't her fault. 

At an event like this one should arrive on time. To arrive late creates a problem.

It should have been the PPP which should have apologized for arriving late. The PPP should in fact have thanked both the minister, and those who had to give up their seats.

But no, piggy behavior is more the PPP style when they cannot get their way.

About the Jagdeo walkout

Now here is what really happened, Jagdeo, Nandalall, Edghill and Hinds arrived ahead of starting time however the others arrived together in a 30 seater bus, they arrived more than an hour late, timed to perfection to ensure that they arrived after the President and PM (and the presidential salute) walked in together as a group, there could not have been 30 ushers for each of them (and spouse) so naturally they had to wait together at the back for the ushers to go and come several times until all are seated.

Guyanese got nuff drama. 

East Indians should not have been at that event in the first place. No apology needed for these knuckle heads.

What politicians say and do are 2 different things. They are 3 sides to every story. They public will believe what they want to believe 

NO AMRAL, THE FACTS ARE THERE TO SEE BUT GOATS WILL BE GOATS.  THERE ARE A FEW GOATS HERE ON GNI.

Watch the name calling fellas...I am sure we capable of civil discourse

My man Carib has a new reason for why the Opposition left. His assumed reason is now replaced by Minister Henry's explanation which could end up being a made up explanation.

What reason do you have?

1. The PPP arrived late, after people were seated.

2. The woman was trying to help them out, despite their late arrival.

3. She managed to get some people to change their seats to accommodate their request to segregate themselves from others.

4.  The thanks that she got was the PPP storming out.

5.  She was gracious enough to apologize, even though she has nothing to apologize for.

And all this I got from her letter!

I understand that you have a racial loyalty to excuse the PPPs piggy behavior. They didn't want to be part of the event, but realized that it would look bad if they weren't. 

So they seized the first opportunity to be disruptive by screaming that APNU didn't accommodate them. Where is the proof that APNU didn't accommodate them?

In the circumstances I wish to state that as the organizer of this event I apologize for any inconvenience, embarrassment or distress this incident may have caused.

Piggy PPP arrived late.   Minister tries to accommodate their request to sit together, and she gets people to switch seats.

PPP storms out.

Vish.  What part of this are you missing?

Immaterial on the time the specific individuals arrived at the ceremony.

Even if one arrives late, the seats are reserved and must be available for each individual.

In this specific situation, two identified groups groups -- government and opposition members -- are well known and appropriate arrangements are imperative.

Bottom line ... the government failed miserably for this special and important occasion.

The seats were not reserved in a block for the opposition. There were a specific number of seats reserved for all the invited VIP guests and you were seated as you arrived in whatever seats were available. The PPP showed up late and then demanded that they all sit together. While the minister was trying to accommodate their request by shifting people around, they chose to walk out.

It was a screw up by the organizing people...period

It was bound to happen when you have so many egos and people don't want to cooperate

The most prominent groups for this occasion are the Government and the Opposition.

Hence, apt arrangements must be made and confirmed well ahead of the occasion.

What exactly did the organizing people screw up? There were enough seats for everyone but they did not plan to seat everyone in the PPP together. When that request was made by the late arriving PPP members, the minister tried to accommodate them by moving people around. The PPP chose to make it into a political poppy show and walked out.

In great nations where they have systems functioning, each seat is pre-allocated before hand.  You Jagdeo will seat at seat A-11 because you are a former President.

You Gail and all the other opposition MPs will be at C-16 - through to D-22 because you are designated as opposition MP.

You Sam Hinds will be at A-13 because you were a former President and so forth.

So shut to poke hole Mars, you have no case.

There are many events where seats are not assigned individually to an invitee. I've seen that happen even in the great USA. The seats were not assigned in that manner and the minister gracefully tried to accommodate the rude, late arriving PPP members by trying to reassign guests who were already seated in other seats. That the PPP chose to make a political fiasco out of a situation that could have been easily remedied, is their own choice.

Look let us be big men.  The Minister apologise for screwing up and that is fine.  Time to move on!

Was this the Presidential Swearing In Ceremony in the USA? I thought it was a Flag Raising Ceremony in Guyana to celebrate the Independence Anniversary.

If you go to see a play in a civilized country, and arrive late, they will not seat you, even though your seats are reserved.  In this case the ticket allowed access to a seat in the VIP section. NOT a reservation to a particular seat.

Try going to the Presidential inauguration, showing up late and then creating a scene because you don't like where other people decided to sit.  The security will escort you out of the premises, with CNN filming this happening.

The PPP should have apologized for arriving after they were supposed and should have thanked this woman for helping them out.

Face it.  The PPP took this as another opportunity to act like a truculent child who was deprived of his sweetie! 

Why the shock when the PPP insists that it must have a man child at its helm instead of finding new and progressive leadership.

The Minister didn't apologize for screwing up.  She said that the PPP arrived late and through the wrong entrance.

Her apologies were to a screaming child in order to get them to shut up.  At no point did she suggest that there was any wrong doing on her part, or that of the organizers at the event.

She knows full well that she is dealing with people who will quickly blame her for the Wismar event and scream that she wants to murder Indians, so headed it off by taking the blame on herself.

HAHAHAHAHAHA  Hinglish anyone????

And here we go.  It is specifically this kind of infantile behavior which is why the Minister apologized.  She is too classy a lady to get into a public brawl with the brown KKK.

In great nations when you show up to an event LATE, you lose access to those assigned seats.  They either don't seat you, or they place you by the DOOR.

Great nations don't tolerate insignificant people arriving late.  You think that the inauguration ceremonies of the president will be disrupted because Congressman So and So doesn't have a watch?

This is just another incidence of PPP piggy behavior, reminiscent of when they were invited by the US Ambassador to an event to commemorate the USA, and proceeded to cuss down that nation.

Mediocre people with an outsized notion of their importance.
