Jordan, Trotman should be jailed – says Ramsaroop

The buck stops at the head and the revelation that the A Partnership for National Unity/Alliance For Change (APNU/AFC) coalition Administration secretly accepted and stashed billions in a private account, unknown to the Guyanese public, is “downright criminal, immoral and unethical” – a matter that requires the attention and full-fledged investigation by the Guyana Police Force.
Economic Advisor to the Opposition Leader, Dr Peter Ramsaroop, laid the damning charges on Tuesday during an interview with this news entity, suggesting that the only way for Head of State David Granger to regain even a minutia of credibility, is to immediately fire the Ministers of Finance and Natural Resources, Winston Jordan and Raphael Trotman.
He told this publication that both Ministers should be placed before the courts over the flagrant violation of Guyana’s supreme law, the Constitution.
The financial analyst pointed to Article 216 of the Guyana Constitution which dictates that all public revenue be placed in the Consolidated Fund with the exception being where a specific law allows for the money to be placed in a special account.

Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo has laid down conditions for meeting with President David Granger tomorrow including the naming of a date for elections before the expiration of the validity of the present voters list on April 30, 2019 and a cessation to the awarding of contracts by the state after March 21, 2019.

In the letter to Minister of State Joseph Harmon yesterday, Jagdeo said “…the Guyana Constitution is the supreme law of Guyana, and, therefore, the proposed meeting can only and must only focus on ensuring that the Constitution is not violated, and, that general and regional elections are held in compliance with Article 106(6) and 106(7) following the December 21, 2018 passage of the No-confidence motion”.

AS lawyers for the Guyana government once argue that 33 is not more than half of 65 and thus is not greater than 33 one has to wonder: do they really believe that crap? How can any interpretation of any constitutional mandate upturn a mathematical truth?
