President Ramotar charges Opposition with ‘playing very cheap politics’ - chairman - 05-18-2014 President charges Opposition with ‘playing very cheap politics’ THE Motion passed by the Parliamentary Opposition on Thursday, demanding a reduction in the Berbice River Bridge toll, is populist politicking and irresponsible, according to President Donald Ramotar. In an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA), the President said that members of the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU), which piloted the Motion, were very much present in the National Assembly when the Act governing the bridge’s operations and construction was tabled and passed. “They know that the government is constrained from doing anything in relation to the toll of crossing the bridge, largely because the Act itself says that any changes in the toll have to come from the Board of Directors of the bridge, making a request to the minister,” the President said, adding that to date, “no such suggestion has come.”
