President, Cabinet will not resign

-letter to Jagdeo says

President David Granger and his APNU+AFC Cabinet are following the directions of Attorney General Basil Williams and will not be resigning, Director General of the Ministry of the Presidency Joseph Harmon said yesterday.

In a letter dated August 5th, Granger also informed Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo that he will not be resigning. “It is my considered opinion that the Caribbean Court of Justice did not issue orders that I should dissolve the National Assembly, fix a date for General and Regional Elections and that I should resign from the Office of President,” Granger said in his letter. “I shall not, therefore, accede to your request,” he added.

On July 20th, more than a month after the CCJ upheld the motion of no-confidence against the APNU+AFC government, Jagdeo wrote to Granger, requesting that he and his Cabinet resign forthwith in accordance with the CCJ June 18th decision and its July 12th consequential orders. In its consequential orders of July 12th, the CCJ said that the provisions of the Constitution mandating general elections in 90 days from June 18th, were in effect…..

The only reason the CCJ was asked to get involved was because the Coalition of their own volition cannot bring themselves to doing what is right and legal. Every argument they made before the CCJ was regarded by the CCJ to be without merit. That act alone would be sufficient to cause anyone with any sense of decency to correct their actions which necessitated getting the CCJ involved. The honorable CCJ chose to allow the Coalition to correct their wicked ways through obeying the constitution and laws of Guyana. Instead the Coalition headed by their chief jackass Williams continue to insist that unless and until the CCJ forced them to behave like civilized humans, they will continue to behave uncivilized.

When compared to Granger, Ramotar is now looking like honest Abe for the way he conducted himself and his government when he faced the same scenario. Forget honest Abe, he is actually looking like the Christ himself.

Granger said on December 22, 2018 that his “government will abide by the stipulations which have been imposed on it following the passing of the no-confidence motion…”

Article 106 (6) of the Constitution states: “The Cabinet including the President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.”

There's more to this story. To unlock:

Perhaps Granger, Harmon and other PNCR have read only Section 1 of the Constitution and have not proceeded further to understand Section 106, parts (6) and (7).

Article 106, subsections (6) and (7) specifically states ---

(6) The Cabinet including the President shall resign if the Government is defeated by the vote of a majority of all the elected members of the National Assembly on a vote of confidence.

(7) Notwithstanding its defeat, the Government shall remain in office and shall hold an election within three months, or such longer period as the National Assembly shall by resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the votes of all the elected members of the National Assembly determine, and shall resign after the President takes the oath of office following the election.”
