“Unelected, caretaker” APNU/AFC regime paralysing Guyana’s economy – PSC
…lacks int’l recognition to access financial aid needed to tackle COVID-19
The Private Sector Commission (PSC) says it is the duty and responsibility of the Guyana Elections Commission (GECOM) to embark, without further delay, on a recount of the disputed results of Region Four (Demerara-Mahaica), because it has been more than 15 months since the caretaker Government has been unelected, and it does not command the respect of either the populace or international community.

This situation is further compounded by the fact that, “business activity and, indeed, the country’s economic and social life as a whole (are) rapidly being paralyzed by the COVID-19 virus pandemic under an unelected administration which has demonstrated a less than satisfactory ability to manage the challenge of the virus.”
The Business Support Organisation (BSO) on Wednesday noted further that because the incumbent A Partnership for National Unity, Alliance for Change (APNU+AFC) “does not command the respect nor recognition of the international community from whom the country desperately needs financial support to fight the virus, the longer this untenable situation prevails, the worse for the people of Guyana.”
