Dear Editor,
Are there any fair-minded Guyanese, at home or abroad, who are not increasingly troubled by the apparent selective way in which President Ali upholds Guyana’s Constitution?
For example, any issue with links to the Mohameds seems to follow a particular trend. This gives rise to suspicion that the law is used for reasons other than to secure what is just.
Reopening of Parliament was delayed until the last moment. Leader of the opposition is not yet selected and this has to wait until the Speaker returns from his holidays, even though there were opportunities for the selection to take place before. The Region 10 Chairman is still not in place and this will happen within the ambit of the rules. The extradition request for the Mohameds is moving ahead in a hurry.
In taking the oath, Guyana’s Presidents undertake to conduct themselves beyond reproach….displaying impeccable character and judgements for every Guyanese to recognize, to accept, to respect, to praise, to expect same from all others with similar responsibilities…..and perfectly happy to imitate.
Ongoing situations like this place an unfair burden on reasonable and impartial individuals to stay quiet and/or defend what is taking place.
