IT is unfortunate Mr. Nigel Hughes is among those who are complicit in promoting the transgressions of the opposition. Be reminded that the PPP/C Administration would not allow anyone to reverse Guyana’s democratic gains. If Mr. Hughes considers himself an objective and impartial partner of Guyana, I encourage him to provide us with a list of the opposition’s non-compliance with the constitution during the current 10th Parliament.
The PPP/C Government’s case against APNU and AFC on their apparent breach of the constitution on the principle of proportionality has its merit, in exposing the opposition for its hypocritical postures. You cannot on one hand claim to support democracy and in the same breath ignore constitutional norms, principles and conventions.
He tries to dodge salient arguments about the opposition’s disregard for the application of proportionality, as is provided for in the constitution, in the allocation of seats to parliamentary committees based on the individual strength of political parties. The constitution is absolutely clear on this subject and therefore no amount of distortion could change the clarity, intent and spirit of the constitution. Mr. Hughes’ argument is so clumsily aligned that it deserves a place in the Haag Bosh dumpsite.
It is so instructive that Mr. Hughes is yet again wrong and persistently so about the realities in Guyana. His grave misrepresentation of our society leaves us with an abundance of examples, which confirms the suspicion that his motive has to do with anything else, other than a truthful account of happenings in Guyana. Mr. Hughes tries to foist subjectivism on us as facts and with much insistence he uses it to sustain a platform of race insecurity.
Apart from his glaring hatred for the PPP/C Administration, Mr. Hughes’ credibility is further shaken by his constant complicity in the distortion and misrepresentation of issues in Guyana. I ponder whether my sympathy to him should be justified on the basis of his pent-up hatred or his other self.
In what can be described as a flagrant disregard for contextual discourse, Mr. Hughes tries to bamboozle Guyanese with his subjective arguments about proportionality in the allocation of national resources to all sections of our society.
His efforts are not sufficiently potent to discredit the PPP/C Administration’s outstanding achievement in proportional distribution of national resources based on needs and practicality. When the PPP/C for instance builds a road or school, or hospital or health centre in any part of the country, one of the primary considerations is the benefit to people, regardless of race, religion, class or creed.  Mr. Hughes’ few examples in the past about apparent inequalities are based on relativity and in many cases on contemporary and historical realities. These cannot be used to discredit an entire process or system as he attempts to deceive us into.
