The old adage that “whom the gods wish to destroy they first make mad” may be quite applicable to the current APNU/AFC  parliamentary opposition to follow their ongoing disturbing immature and  hilarious behavour in the National Assembly.

The latest example came in Parliament on Friday when retired former Police Commissioner, Winston Felix, sought to get Prime Minister Samuel  Hinds to answer a question that should properly have been addressed to Minister of Home Affairs, Clement Rohee.
It would be recalled that Mr Felix’s official retirement was preceded by media expose’ of a sensational and quite controversial taped conversation he had with a parliamentarian and senior executive of the People’s National Congress Reform (of which he is now also one of its parliamentarians), during a spate of violence and murder.
On Friday, as an MP of APNU (PNCR new clothing), he chose to ask Prime Minister Hinds to say when the government would table in Parliament the Capita-Symonds Consultancy Report on the Strategic Security Programme that was made public on December 31, 2012.
Since the question was deliberately framed  and arrogantly presented to by-pass Home Affairs Minister Rohee, who had made public aspects of the Capita-Symonds Report, an amused Prime Minister Hinds quite calmly referred APNU’s Felix to address his question to the rightful minister of the government.
Felix’s question was a clumsy political ploy. But then, he was simply following, as if blindfolded, the path of his leader, retired Brigadier of the GDF, David Granger. Just a few days earlier, Mr Granger, who seems bent on political self-embarrassment, had declared that the opposition (speaking also for the AFC), would be disposed to supporting the proposed strategic security plan if tabled by a government representative other than Minister Rohee!
What a joke! What utter childish politicking on a most serious issue involving combating criminality and strengthening national security in the interest of ALL the people of our nation!
The Guyanese people, irrespective of party affiliation or political persuasion, would be very much aware of MP Felix’s previous involvement in the operations of the GPF, as well as the role of Minister Rohee in spearheading initiatives for the completion of the study by the United Kingdom-based Capita-Symonds Consultancy Group.
So, what games are APNU’s leader, Granger, and his colleague, Felix, now playing with a most important project involving this nation’s police, prison and fire services and, ultimately the national security of Guyana? Are they blinding themselves to reality by their hatred for Minister Rohee? 
Surely the coalition of APNU and the AFC ought to know that the legitimate, democratically elected government of this nation is in no mood to genuflect to this “political eye-pass” in having the opposition determine who should speak in Parliament, instead of Rohee, on matters that fall within his assigned portfolio responsibilities as Minister of Home Affairs.
