Opposition Parliamentarians booed and shouted “shame” almost drowning out the Minister.

too bad she is going down the wrong road

I vaguely recalled a demonstration outside of the US embassy by the PNC calling for the ambassador to go home. This was in the late seventies. I am trying to recall the name of the ambassador. Can someone help me here?

I want to point out that people who are acting as if they've never gone off line do have a history of acting recklessly.

Billy, a demo in the street is different from cussing down a man in his home.

That's the Jagdeo type of feral behaviour she is emulating. She lacks grace and charm. Are you familiar with Lombard street? She how she and her partner in crime bolted from the man's home?

The opposition is on a campaign of destruction. Our national assembly has become a dishonorable house to humiliate the honorable minister for defending her country from a foreign interference is just unacceptable. Dr. Manickchand must stand her ground and never apologized to those who're disgraceful enough to booed a minister while she is speaking. Once again, the speaker who allow this to happen is just as bad to bring shame in our national assembly.    

Get it into your idiotic head. Just as Guyanese welcomed the intervention of the USA to force the PNC to host free and fair elections, they now welcome the US intervention to embarrass the PPP into ceasing to destroy democracy by not having local gov't belections.

The Ambassador is correct.  LGE provides Guyanese their only opportunity to select their leaders.  The president candidates are elected by the PNC members, or SELECTED by a few PPP leaders.  Guyanese have no ability to chose these candidates, nor do they have the ability to select who the MPs are.

The only leaders that Guyanese can select are those who sit in municipal councils.

So why is the PPP depriving Guyanese of their only true involvement in governance?

Understand this. In 2011 MORE Guyanese voted AGAINST the PPP.  Put away for Burnhamist arrogance where you conflate the interests of a dictatorial regime with that of the people of Guyana.

Most Guyanese want LGE and want to know why the PPP, not only refuses to host it, but rants that it wouldn't out of spite because the electorate deprived them of the right to control parliament.

Verbal attack on US envoy…APNU MP demands apology from Manickchand

Education Minister Priya Manickchand yesterday experienced another bout of loud booing yesterday when she stood in the National Assembly to defend her choice to “reprimand” the United States Ambassador to Guyana, Brent Hardt at his local residence a week ago; on which occasion she was also vociferously booed.

Education Minister Priya Manickchand

A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) Member of Parliament, Africo Selman, stood on the floor of the National Assembly yesterday calling for Manickchand to issue an apology to the nation. Selman premised her request on the “fact” that she was personally aggrieved by Manickchand’s actions displayed a week ago at Ambassador Hardt’s local residence. She said that the Minister’s behaviour was an embarrassment.
Selman condemned the Minister’s “inappropriate behaviour” and expressed the view that celebrations are memorable and that was not an occasion to reprimand anyone. She said that Manickchand’s speech was in bad taste and “cannot be wished away”.
The Member of Parliament then told the House that the Minister therefore owes the nation an apology.
Selman’s call attracted loud objections from those sitting on the government’s side.
Members of Parliament, Manzoor Nadir, Gail Teixeira and even the Minister of Foreign Affairs Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett sought to defend Manickchand. But Speaker Raphael Trotman’s decision to not allow a debate on the issue, prevented Rodrigues-Birkett from speaking, despite her indication that she wanted to do so.
When Manickchand got up to speak, members on the Opposition benches wasted no time in heckling her to a point where the Minister’s voice was almost drowned.
At one point the Minister became so aggravated that she told APNU shadow Minister of Finance Carl Greenidge that “for a short man” he has a loud voice.
Manickchand told the House that Guyanese do not have to say yes to the United States to avoid trouble or please the US, because Guyana is a sovereign state.
She said government is of the firm view that Hardt was meddling too much in local politics.
“Two days before I delivered that speech, the Ambassador undiplomatically denigrated and libeled President Donald Ramotar, lashed out at and mocked the General Secretary of the ruling party, and represented the two opposition parties against the government.”
Manickchand maintained that her speech was not a breach of diplomatic protocols.

Those who booed and jeered are more disgraceful to even ask for an apology. Don't give them any, Priya.

Dude, did this Harpy not shout down a minister with a crude comment about asking "who raped who" when the presentation was on the serious problem of the epidemic in our society?

On who raped who she had the answer ( PPP serial rapist Pandit, One beri beri who wanted to rape his friends 16 year old!) She was on her usual inane floozy mode to tar and feather a member of parliament for the sins of his father at in the midst of a serious discussion.

And you came to her support here insisting the was right to act an ass in Parliament so I do not know why you are agitated when others use the same tact to remind her of her awful habit

Guyana National Assembly has become a forum by the opposition to appease American terrorist and act as traitors towards Guyana. So much for patriotism.

Why do you think that Guyanese should be deprived of the right to select theuir local leadership?  How can the PPP claim to be democratic when it deprives them of this right?

If you choose to side with the Guyana Government you could very well be considered a traitor to the MAJORITY of the Guyanese people.
