Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo has congratulated the APNU+AFC Coalition on the 2nd Anniversary of the signing of the Cummingsburg Accord, saying that the political pact between the two parties has laid the foundation for national unity.
In a statement on Tuesday,the Prime Minister said that the historic Cummingsburg Accord, signed at the Georgetown Club on February 14th, 2015, has “laid the foundation for enduring national and political unity in Guyana.”

“On this second anniversary of the signing of the Cummingsburg Accord, we recommit to the fundamentals of the accord, specifically accountability, transparency and good governance. The Cummingsburg Accord, signed between A Partnership for National Unity, comprising five political parties and the Alliance for Change, is founded on the ideals of shared governance, inclusivity, partnership and mutual respect,” Prime Minister Nagamootoo said. Following the signing of the Cummingsburg Accord, the APNU+AFC Coalition was formed and it successfully ousted the PPP/C regime in the May 11, 2015 General and Regional Elections.

President Granger who is leader of APNU,also recently committed his party to the coalition between itself and the AFC. Last week while suggesting that the coalition government will have a second term in office, the President said Guyanese can expect greater progress in the coming years. He said since entering office in May, 2015, the coalition Government had been making significant strides in cleaning up the mess that was left by its predecessor – the People’s Progressive Party (PPP).

“The efforts that we have made over the last 18 months have been phenomenal, in terms of trying to make Guyana a law-governed country and to introduce due regularity into government’s business,” President Granger said, while speaking on his weekly televised programme – In the Public Interest.
He said his Administration has the Herculean task of cleaning up the “mess” left by the PPP Administration, alluding to the controversial fibre-optic cable project and the ailing sugar factory. The bungled Brazil-Guyana Fibre-Optic cable project, which started in 2011 under the PPP, was designed to improve internet access in the country and for the setting up a database hub for all government agencies.

  1. Nation al Unity? The politicians do not practice what they preach. Instead of laying the foundation for National Unity, they sow the seeds of Division – divide and rule. These OPPORTUNISTS are all self centered . The longest rope has an end.
