Man eye pass people thinking that they are stupid to buy his hog wash argument.

Of course, a liar has to try anything.

In reply to goofballs

It’s only a majority if the PNC has 33.

In reply to goofballs

But he speaks so well!!!!! LOL

It also says a deciding voter cannot be wearing a green shirt or blue pants, as set in previous cases, where they weren't wearing either color.

In reply to goofballs

Man get plenty pull now that he working for Exxon, I hope he dont cause a meltdown in Guyana

It might be a good idea to change the system about the No-confidence vote, a simple majority vote should not be able to kick out a Government, how about a 35-30 vote. Holding new elections are expensive and disruptive for a poor country like Guyana. One man should not have all that power.

In reply to dayne

All campaign on changing the constitution, once in power they abscond seeing how useful it is.

In reply to Runs

Well I guess they will keep falling on their own swords.

In reply to Runs

Both sides may be crooked and have bad politicians- but democracy demands you pick a side and in Guyana a decent citizen who cares about building a non racial democracy only has one choice and that choice is not the opposition party because of their racial vision and a core belief among a significant cadre of their supporters- a belief that "Indo mores" is superior over Afro Guyanese.

In reply to SnoopDog

The urea pile up and coming out of his brain now.

This government, not party, manifesto is that only PNC yes men getting jobs.
They don't know of non Christian national holidays.

This beautiful piece of work Viola lady looks like she straight from Tiger Bay and don't give a shit, just like the Tiger Bayians robbing or assaulting people in public and in bright daylight.
She ain't see nothing wrong.

In reply to dayne

I agree. Two thirds sounds more reasonable, so an odd fence hopper alone would not shut down the government.
"Majority" votes for other issues are ok, but not to put the country on its knees.

In reply to goofballs

You giving people from Tiger Bay a real bad name. Nuff good people in Tiger Bay.

I grew up 1 mile from there.

In reply to Curtis

Ok, ok, my apologies. I should say the Tiger Bay criminals.

I used to ride past there during the daytime and evenings only when I lived in Fort St. Kingston.

In reply to goofballs

Yeah? Which part, by milk plant or ministry of works?

Charandass speaks after reaching Canada

In reply to goofballs

I think Hughes acting as a fixer, they govt may be throwing money at him to solve their problem and this is what he comes up with

On 28TH MARCH 1979, a vote of no confidence in the British Labour government of James Callaghan was passed.

The vote was brought about by Opposition leader Margaret Thatcher and was lost by the Labour Government by one vote :311 votes to 310.

The result forced a general election which was won by Thatcher's party....

Rings a bell?

So 33 - 32 is good enuff to govern but not good enuff to change de Government?

In reply to Curtis

I think it was 25 or 45 Fort st. opposite the Ministry with aunty K. Half a block to teachers training college, then seawall.

So basically one has to show their hand and get fired before voting on a non conscience basis? Is this democracy?

Article is stating he has to declare in writing to the speaker that he is not supporting the list he is on before he casts his vote versa. Who wrote this jokey constitution?


Read this for precedence Nigel

In reply to Runs

Isn't that final then, coming from the Constitution? Or is there room for some other 'interpretation'? I had a telephone discussion yesterday with Dr Dukes, elucidating the situation to the non-Muddy. Re Guyana, I feel the same way I do on Ghana: the immediate past gov't was so corrupt that I cannot support them (with the same people at the top), but I feel deeply disappointed in the current ones holding the reins. Almost a devil-and-deep-blue-sea situation.

I watched the Charrandass video on FB and also read the piece in Kaiteur News. I sympathise strongly with him; I am not at all convinced that he was selling out to the PPP. But couldn't he have demonstrated his discomfort from earlier?

--Æ.

In reply to JayMor

You are spot on brother many feel the same way

33-32 is not a majority?

Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha!

No wonder their asses got kicked out!

STATEMENT OF THE BAR COUNCIL OF THE BAR ASSOCIATION OF GUYANA


The Bar Council of the Bar Association of Guyana has noted the passage in the National Assembly of the motion in the name of the Leader of the Opposition on a vote of confidence.

It has also noted that the result of the vote, as expected, has been accepted by the Government and the President.

National and regional elections are therefore constitutionally due by the operation of Article 106(6) of the Constitution no later than Thursday, 19 March 2019 on the expiration of 90 days from 21 December 2018, when the motion was passed.

The Bar Council has noted various attempts to argue that the motion was not validly passed in the National Assembly, including from Nigel Hughes, a prominent Attorney-at-Law who contends that a positive vote of 34 members of the National Assembly was required for the passage of the motion.

The Bar Council rejects as erroneous such contentions that the motion was not properly passed or that the vote is, for any reason, invalid.

The Bar Council urges that the results and consequences of the motion be accepted and that urgent preparations for elections by the Elections Commission be started.

The giving of effect to any contentions that there is some possibility other than elections being held within 90 days of the passage of the motion could lead to instability and our democracy must be protected by the unambiguous adherence to the rule of law and to the provisions of Article 106(6) of the Constitution.

In reply to Runs

Just a bunch of Burnhamites trying to cause confusion, instability and to support the hooligans with thug behavior cussing out and beating de man, threatening his life.
I warned people about the Burnhamites. They just changed their skin and fooled the people who were all wanting change. Got a few opportunistic yes men who would sell their asses for power or some drinks, like Rum Sucka who open and close the rum shop daily.
Turns out the PNC was wusser than other parties. Burnham was at least smart. These jackasses don't have a clue about anything but out of such ignorance make stupid and arrogant statements like who cares about non Christian holidays. That they will employ only their people.
Burnham probably did much more evil things but maintained a clean profile to the public.

In reply to goofballs

Part 2
So what would they achieve by stirring up doubt, instability?
Tension, riots or whatever?
Kill each other out?

Guess what? The British and Americans would not give a rat's ass.

Granger deh pon his last straw as he prepare to meet his maker. He should do the right thing. He has been a civil guy.
I guess that the power hungry ones in the party would not listen to his peaceful approach anyhow.

Well this puts an end to that.


Clerk of the National Assembly Sherlock Isaacs has confirmed the validity of the Opposition-sponsored no-confidence motion, telling this media group on Thursday that he has certified the vote.

In fact, Isaacs also made it clear that he will not be conducting a review of the decision.

But outspoken political commentator Christopher Ram is at a loss as to why last Friday’s vote is being questioned, alluding that 33 out of 65 constitute a majority.

“What is a majority? A majority is the greater number or the greater part so if you’re saying 34 is the majority then what are we saying? that we have 66 members in the National Assembly or do you take away their seats? It defies logic and it defies law,” Ram opined
