Cain, I understand that, but they have a combined majority to at least pass them. If the President vetoes them - then at least they can go after the PPP with more ammunition. Are you suggesting that because thy were not voted in that they did nothing?

I agree they did sit on their hands in many areas,look how long it's taken to come up with this no confidence....suddenly BALLS.

There are many articles are out there showing corruption within the party and not one person has made a move against anyone...why is the opposition sitting on this? Maybe there are reasons we don't know about.

Examine De History

The Peoples National Congress (PNC) and the United Force (UF) formed a coalition government after the 1964 elections.

Under Proportional Representation, the Indo-Guyanese supported PPP were effectively outnumbered by the combination of all other racial groups which supported the PNC and UF.

Under the leadership of Forbes Burnham and Peter D’Aguiar, Guyana became an independent nation-state in 1966.

The coalition represented Afro-Guyanese who voted for the PNC,

and Amerindo, Iberio, Sino and Euro-Guyanese who voted for the United Force.

The PNC-UF Coalition disintegrated within three years.

No clear-cut policy was developed nor implemented to dismantle institutional racism which was prevalent during colonialism.

No systematic effort was made to heal the wounds which were caused by inter-racial conflicts which preceded political independence.

The PNC and UF carried out an additional modification of the electoral system by giving Guyanese overseas the right to vote, allowing proxy voting and the padding of voters’ lists.

(UF & D' Aguiar Dig their own Grave)

The 1968 election was fraudulent and in effect was a civilian coup.

The PNC declared itself the winner.

This set the basis for the establishment of a political dictatorship.

By 1969, the PNC had singular control of the government representing mainly Afro-Guyanese.

The alienation of all non-Afro-Guyanese racial groups became pronounced and insurrection surfaced among the most discriminated and marginalized of all the racial groups.

If the UF or PPP .....had the Brains to

Move a Vote of No Confidence in 1967

(1) We would have never had 28 Years of PNC Dictatorship

(2) PNC would out of power in 1967

(3) Jagan could have been in Power and Control ....

Between 1967 and 1997 (Until he die)

(4) Bharat & Donald would not be able to Hijack the PPP.

(5) Black House of Israel Thugs

would have never been in Leadershipat Freedom House...

or at Office of the President.

This No Confidence Vote By Moses & AFC

will stop the Corruption Clock...

and Put Guyana Back on Track....

an Opportunity that was lost in 1967....
